Spring shine, sequins and shimmer

Check these out, too...

Don’t stash away your shiny threads until next year’s holiday parties. Daytime sequins and shine are gonna be huge this spring.  Sure, they take a little courage to pull off, but you’ll be sparklin’ in no time flat.

It’s all about subtlety. This piece at first glance just looks like a regular denim skirt—but when it hits the light, the shimmer will shock you. Pair with a cute printed blouse and embellished cardi to finish the girly look. Some awesome wedges or cute flats make it major.
Pleated Linen Skirt, $18, forever21.com

Not ready for full-on shiny? Jazz up any simple outfit with this dainty sequined bow. Funs up jeans and a tee (try it as a pin on your fave shirt!) in an instant.
Gold Sequin Bow, $15, spottedmoth.com

A sequined-striped rugby top breaks the rule that sequins for daytime have to be in pastels. Toss over some jeans (white skinnies, maybe?) and some slouchy boots for a laid-back, casual vibe.
Blue Striped Sequin Top, $15, delias.com

It’s time to change up your look. Switch out your plain black flats for something with a little bit of kick. Metallic gold oxfords can be rocked in multiple ways: Skip the socks and pair these beauties with a floral skirt and plain white tee; or make ’em prepster with dark cuffed jeans and a navy blue blazer.
In with the Gold Flats, $40, modcloth.com

A dose of shimmery pewter glams up your everyday look. Pick a structured, ladylike shape to keep it feeling sleek. We can see this silver carry-all with everything from shirt dresses to denim minis. Now, you just need jewelry to match!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I want to kiss my boyfriend at this football game this Friday but how can I be a great kisser?!?! Btw this will be my first kiss and he has kissed other girls before, one of them being my best friend. Help! Give a detailed answer please. Thanks! Lizzy

 

Hey chica!  You should read this:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/18/Never-Been-Kissed.aspx and this:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/01/11/kissing-guide.aspx.  Both have detailed advice.  But really, don't put too much pressure on yourself.  You will be able to make it work in the moment.  If you both really like each other, it will be great. Smile

MODMODMOD Hi!I'm going to this dance on friday at my old school with my friend.If my crush is there how do i flirt?I dont know how!!And i have this HUGE zit on my forehead and i put creams on it but its not going anywhere...its in three days!what do i do?

 

Hey girl!  You could smile and say "hi."  You could ask him if he wants to dance, or compliment him on how he looks all dressed up.  As for the zit (bummer! Frown ), keep doing what you're doing, and try not to pick at it or touch it.  If it's still not gone, you could think about using concealer for the dance.  This article has a few tips that might help:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/10/10/naturally-pretty-makeup.aspx.  xoxo

mod mod i got to a school with a strict dress code, we have to wear collared shirts and have them tucked in with a belt and everything. well skirts/dresses must come down to the knees. do you know of any place that has cute skirts or dresses (dresses must be turtleneck/collared) that are down to the knees? thanks (:

 

Hey chica!  It's tricky right now, because with spring clothes lotsa stores seem to have mostly above-the-knee choices.  But I just did a quick search, and American Eagle has some cute skirts that are longer.  Urban Outfitters has options, too. Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD a lotta people think im flirting with my guy friends when im not, and then when i talk to my crush, it feels like im not flirting at all! how can i flirt with my crush and be friendly with my guy friends?

 

Hey chica!  You should definitely check this out:    http://www.girlslife.com/post/2007/11/17/Flirting101.aspx.  It's got great, specific tips for how to flirt a li'l more with your crush.  As for your guy friends, I wouldn't worry about it too much.  People just might think it's flirting because you are confident and friendly around them - you don't have to change that!  So ignore what they say.  But try to channel that fun, friendly confidence you have around your guy friends, and use it towards your crush.  Good luck. Smile

help! i need a date! Im in 8th grade i have had a really rough middle school time and have an anxiety disorder from all of the stress. i eat really healthy but im scared the anxiety is taking a toll on my health. i used to get panic attacks a lot, but i don't really get them anymore. Im doing bettr but i still feel anxious a lot. also, i have this really tight feeling in my chest but i am breathing normally, do u think its just allergies or is my anxiety giving me health problems too? My mom is nagging me about getting a date to this really fancy dance we hav at the end of middle school. i don't really hav that many friends, but i think it would b really fun if i could go with some ppl, and i don't wanna go with nerds because i used to be really popular, before anxiety took over my life, now i don't talk to anyone, I feel sad a lot. how can i get a date?




Hey girlie,

Anxiety makes us feel a lot of things, including that tight feeling in your chest. That doesn't mean anything is wrong though - it's just a way our body expresses that feeling. Try to take each day as a challenge and do one thing outside your comfort zone, even if it makes you nervous. This includes talking to new people, sitting at a new lunch table, and eventually scoping out a cute boy to talk to. Remember to take deep breaths to work through the anxiety. With each new step you take, you're beating the anxiety and proving to yourself that you can do whatever you want Smile
