STYLE 911: STYLE SCARED

 

I LOVE fashion! I love dressing my friends in outrageous clothes, but am too scared to try it myself. Whenever I go shopping, I plan on buying funky patterns, but I end up with solid colors in boring styles. Most of my wardrobe consists of different-colored tank tops, 3/4 length shirts and plain old jeans. Please help me try something new!

-Style Scared


Girl, don't be freaked to try somethin' a li’l funky! Start small with simple things and move on up from there. If ya love dressing your friends in outrageous clothes you've already got the fashion know-how. Now all ya need is clothing confidence!

If ya don't wanna change your style up too dramatically, get into a new fashion groove with some stylin' accessories. Try a cool charm necklace, peace sign earrings or sunglasses with colored frames. Bonus! It's not gonna cost you as much as an entire wardrobe makeover would! You’ve got plenty of great basics, ya just need to jazz ‘em up a bit.

But if you do wanna change up your clothes, get just a few trendy pieces per season that ya absolutely love. And don't blow all your dough on expensive items—pick up trendy threads at a cute but not costly place like Alloy or Forever 21.
