Rock Tricky Trends the Right Way!

 
Sometimes the hottest runway trends can be tough to wear in the real world. Truth is, these daring looks can be super-cute when matched up with basic pieces from your closet.
 
Keep reading for our insider tips to taming wild vests and making tall boots less tough—and everything in between!
 
Military and band jackets are a must, but you don’t wanna look like ya just marched out of a parade. Pair one with something flirty and feminine to make it a li’l easier and free-flowing. Pop one over a dress with tights, or wear with a ruffled blouse and your fave pair of skinnies.


Dallas Military Blazer, $48, delias.com

From sequins to glitzy 80s-inspired metallics, clothes are definitely dazzling this fall. Pair a seriously sequined top with skinny jeans, a cute cardi and flats for a daytime look. Lose the sweater and throw on some heels for a night out. Sequins still a bit scary? Look for pieces with a shimmery trim or a hint of sequined appliqué.


Jazz Beaded Tank, $25, wetseal.com

Faux real? Yup, fake fur is totally hot. Pair your vest with dark jeans, a solid, long-sleeve tee and flat boots for a cute cold weather outfit. Want to go boho chic? Wear your cozy faux fur over a great floral print dress with tights and riding boots.  


Luscious Faux Fur Vest, $25, forever21.com

Forget boring black leggings and pull on a pair with an eye-poppin’ print instead.  Whether they are animal print, plaid, striped or lace, these beauties look best with a solid tunic dress or an oversized button-down. Add a wide black belt and you’re done.



Over-the-knee boots can be, well, overwhelming! But matched up with the right threads, they can really make an impact and elongate your gams. Find a flat pair and sport them with tights or skinny jeans and a casual top. Or, go for a mini with a turtleneck sweater with tights and over-the-knee socks for a cozy feel.

Ok so my 2 moms (who are lesbians) were practially married when they had me but they wernt. Now they went their seprate ways, but me and my brother swich houses and see both of them equaly. Now they both have new girlfriends and the mom Im closer to, just got a new girlfriend like 4 months ago. She is coming to our Thanksgiving party, and we just got in a huge fright and now she probally hates me. Ive been having a really hard time lately, and this is not the first fight. I apoligized but I said I didnt really know what for, then figured it out and tryed apolgizing again. She said that I didnt mean it and to go back to my house. Help!




Hey girl, your moms (both of 'em) don't hate you. They love you. Arguments happen all the time, and what better time to set them aside than Thanksgiving? Ask your mom to set the fight aside for Thanksgiving -- you just want to be want her and enjoy the holiday. Emphasize how important she is to you. It'll be alright, girl.

ok soo i reallly really like this guy. he and i are really good friends. we are in the same group, eat lunch 2gether and hang out together in study hall(w/ other friends 2). we also text a lot and have gone to the movies with 2 other friends. i also always catch him looking and smiling at me then he looks away quickly. well 2 of my friends know that i like him and were whispering about how clueless he is and stuff a few feet away while he and i were talking and listening to his ipod. later on he told them that he's known about my liking him for a while. but he hasnt said anything 2 me about it which is wierd because hes usually really straightforward and doesnt sugarcoat things!! i still like him and i dont know wat to do now because i dont want to make our friendship awkward. sorry its so long. thanks bunchesLaughing




Hey babe,


If you don't want things to change, just keep treating him the way that you've been treating him. Maybe he just needs some more time to get used to the idea before he makes his move!

Hey babe,


I'm sure she doesn't hate but but I think it would help if you apologized the next time you saw her and tried to get along better for Thanksgiving. People fight all the time in families but they still can get along and care about each other when it's important!

MOD Okay I am so confussed. My Bf's friend told me that my BF is going to breakup with me. My Bf hasn't told me yet. But I have been suspecting that he is ( we never talk doesn't even pay attention to me. ) Should I breakup with him? I really want to be friends with him though. Ugh. Thanks a ton.

 

Hey girl! You can try talking it out with him. Confront him about it and maybe you two can break it off nicely. Make sure to tell him you want to still be friends!

Okay, i know you guys aren't doctors, but I'm really confused about this one problem and I'm kind of embarrassed when I talk about body stuff with my mom. Anyway, I have a tiny red spot by my pubic area on my hip. It sort of looks like a small pimple since I have been touching it so much, but I am kind of worried about it. What do you think it is?

 

Hey girl! I am not exactly sure what the red bump could be, you can
check out the bod section on the gl website to see if there is any info
there. You should talk to your mom about it though because she might
have some info on what it may be. If not, she can take you to the
doctor so that you can figure out what it is.

Hey girl! The extra chill may make your hair appear to have a bit more shine. It works for some and not for others. Give it a little cold rinse and see what happens!

MODDD PLEASE ANSWER THIS!
Kk this might be long. So i REALLY like this guy and he is literally the nicest and friendliest person ive ever met. we are more than just acquaintances but not exactly friends... more like.. coworkers. see, we're working on this tv show project thing and all we ever talk about is writing. He also hugs everyone and is really hyper around everyone whether he knows them or not... but around me he acts all monotone and business even though i try my hardest to act fun around him. What im wondering is do you think i have a chance and what should i do? My friend asked him what he thought of me once and he said Nice, outgoing, seems like friend quiality but nothing more. please help Frown Frown




Hey babe,




Send him some signals. Keep trying to joke around with him, smile, flirt, make eye contact. But also, make sure that you are working hard on your project and impress him with your intelligence and TV skills. Get to know him a bit more and see if he sends you any signs.

This is gonna be long sorry
Ok I really like this guy who is in a lot of my classes. He is super outgoing and talkative. He always hangs out in a big group of people so I never really get a chance to talk to him much. However I seem to catch him glancing at me in all the classes we have together, but I'm not sure if he's looking at me because he likes me or if he's really bored. He also is less talkative then normal around me and whenever I sit near him he always taps his feet really loudly and messes with his hair. However the other day I asked one of his friends that is a girl if he liked anyone and she said she thinks he might like one of her friends but then she quickly added "Well I'm not really sure if he does like her"............so do you think he likes me???




Hey babe,




It's hard to tell. Sometimes guys get shy around girls because they like them and sometimes they get shy around girls because they don't really know them. He might think you are mysterious because he doesn't get to talk to much. Flash him a smile and send him some signs that you like him and see what happens from there.

what does mod mean in the 1st place and theres this boy in my spanish class that me and him r ok
friends and i knew he liked me but its going too far! Like he keeps on stairing at me and latley hes been trying to get close to me! It got so bad where ppl r starting to see and another boy asked me if we were dating because of how much he does it! I dont know wat to do and im too shy to tell him to stop its really annoying




Hey chica,




Mod means moderator.  If you don't like him and he's making you uncomfortable start by moving away from him and distancing yourself from him. If he won't stop you need to tell him to back off. You might be shy, but I know you can take a stand.

I have a seriously stressed out friend. She's totally negative about things, and stresses over SLIGHT things such as her jersey number (she wants it to be her lucky #13). She even lost hair over all her stress!! I'm trying to help her by telling her to be positive, say three things you liked about today before you sleep, keep a diary, etc..but she just won't cooperate!! Like when I tell her to say three things she liked about today, she says "Uhh, NOTHING!!" And I say "Little things, THINK!! Like you had your favorite breakfast today?" And she still can't come up with anything. It's really hard on me because I think her negativity is rubbing off on me like I was in a really good mood..and after talking to her..suddenly my mood turns sour. HELP ME!!




Hey girlie,




You've been giving her good advice so far, but she might just need a really good vent. Instead of telling her to be positive and tell you positive things have her talk out what's going on her head. It might be negative for a while, but soon she'll start to realize what's really bringing her down and snap out of it. Keep your sunny, positive self happy and distance yourself at times to avoid catching her negativity!

-Thx Nanc




Hey Nanc,




Relax! Everyone gets nervous about auditions. I'm sure that you are going to be great. And don't worry about 'popular' girls. You'll realize down the line that popularity isn't the end all to be all. Focus on the song and do your best. Be confident in your audition. I'm telling you, confidence is way more of an attribute to a show than the best singing voice ever. Break a leg!

I'm in love with my best friend's older brother. He's two grades older than me, and in high school.  He likes all the same music I do, and likes some other of the similar things that I do. when I've read some of the things GL has said to girls with a similar problem the answer has for the most part been "forget about him" and "he's too mature mentally and physically for you." I completely understand the reason and logic behind all of these statements. I see all of the cons. but I also see all the pros. I don't think it's humanly possible for me to do these things at this point. I don't know what to do with my self. sometimes I'll just go home and break down crying. I'm stalking him. I know all his classes and everything. I'm EXTREMELY shy around guys. the time I did talk to him though about this band I love it really felt great (he started the convo) I'm just can't seem to do anything but runaway when I see him for the two minutes that I do while walking down to art, past the high school building. I realize that he probably likes other girls, who are tall and pretty, I'm not ruining that , and I'm not mad at that girl. xoxo-Emily




Hey Emily,




First, consider your friend who might not be down with you liking her brother and talk to her about it. Second, relax. I know how intense crushes can be, but stalking is only going to make it worse. Try talking to him more about music, but take a step back and realize that the two of you are in completely different worlds right now. That might change when you go to high school OR when he gets to know you a bit better and sees you outside of his sister's friends. It's great that you can see both ends of the spectrum and just go with what you know. If you like him, start talking and completely forget that you are shy!

My parents don't give me allowance. And I really want to start earning some money. How do I ask my parents if they can start giving me some allowance and what different kind of things can I do to get more money? Thanks!




Hey babe,




Try babysitting or doing errands for family friends and neighbors. Talk to your parents about an allowance, but don't expect them to give you one. If they see that you are making an effort to earn your OWN money, they might offer to match what you earn weekly through an allowance.

I have a crush on my best friends ex, and he even told my best friend he likes me. He won't tell me though, because he asked my best friend would let us go out (since I had explained to him about Girl Code) and she said even if the girl is over the guy it's still mean. I don't think it is though! She's already had another boy friend, and has a crush on this other guy. She and the guy I have a crush on broke up about 9 months ago, and only went out for 2. Help!




Hey babe,




You need to talk to your friend and tell her how you feel. Be upfront and tell her how much she means to you and how you don't want to hurt her, but you can't help but be really into this guy. She'll either give you the go ahead or tell you that it would hurt her feelings. Hopefully, it'll be the first one!

Hey girl! Check out Icebreakers under Guyville for some great tips on talking to guys (without the jitters). Just remember, he's a person and he won't bite! Go up, and talk about a new movie or band you like. Find out what his interests are and talk about them. I'm sure things will progress from there.
