Frances

How can I look stylish when all I wear is skirts?

Ally

I think I might need to wear clothes that match my personality and in that case it would be the type of clothes some people might call "punk." How can I change my style with out being labeled a "poser"?

Brittaney

I have been wondering what is "in style" -- I mean, the clothes we wear at our school are not worn on TV shows and stuff, and if you get caught dead wearing the clothes that they have on fashion shows on TV ... It is totally different from school ... Help!

Dana

I don't have a style sense, and people make fun of me for it!

Claudia

I don't know what my style is. Right now I have no style. How do I know what style I should do?

Liza

I am fuller on the top of my body then my bottom, and some outfits make me look totally uneven. What clothing should I wear that won't make the top half of my body look so much bigger than the bottom?

Cayla

I am considered by my friends at school to be the best-dressed. But I still look at the stars and see something missing. How do they look so put-together?

Christy

I'm a very skinny girl. I'm about 5'5" tall and I'm only about 95 pounds. I don't have much of a figure. What clothes can I wear to make it look like I have more of a figure than I do?

Dalia

I have a friend who is always telling me that I don't dress nice and this makes me feel bad. I would like to know how to dress better and what clothes I should wear to make her stop criticizing me.

Azrina

I want to be an individual. Sort of like an Avril Lavigne type, but different. But not like I'm trying too hard to be different. Can you give me some ideas?

Tiffany

What should I wear on my first date or when asking a guy out?

Liz

I want to be different from everyone else. Where can I get really good punk clothes (not Hot Topic)?

Melissa

At my school, we have to wear uniforms. They consist of khaki skorts with maroon polos. How can I stand out from all of my peers when we all look the same?

William

I am a guy who dresses extremely well. I wear all the new fashions and tight pants. I study fashion right now in my high school and people think I'm gay. I like to be myself but I don't want to be made fun of. No girls like me because they think I'm attracted to boys, but I'm not! What should I do? Should I change the way I dress even though I love the way I am right now? I hate the skater styles boys wear right now, anyway. How can I fit in with all the "normal" people?

Robin

I am a vegetarian, and I have the worst time finding shoes, belts, and jackets that are made of fake leather. Where can I find great shoes, other than Payless? And I'd love a faux suede jacket, too.

Christina

How can I be the best-dressed girl in school?

Samantha

I can't decide whether to go with my own style or go with what everyone's doing. I live in a small town and people make comments. Which is better?

Shanna

Is there any kind of totally trendy style I should wear this year to impress boys?

Melissa

I have short hair and am always looking for new styles. Do you have any for me?

Amber

There are so many different fashion trends out now. How do I know which of them to follow and which will look good on me?

Safiya

I'm going to the drugstore to buy a Maybelline lipgloss. What color should I buy?

JoJo

I like the preppy look, but I'm worried that it's out. My friend says the peasant look is coming in. What do you think?

Dana

How do I make myself seem cooler when I don't have a whole lot of dough? I want to be in with the in crowd but I'm not sure what to wear ... Help! How can I be stylish on a small budget?

Samantha

How do I find the right style of clothing for me?

Ronda

Whenever I find a great new something--shirt, jacket, pants, dress, purse, necklace, whatever--my friend goes out and buys the same exact thing because she likes it so much...

James

I'm really into decorating and want to make my room a cool space with bright colors like green and blue that is really arty and fun. The dilemma is that my parents think all the colors I want are way too crazy to paint the walls! What would look good and be more agreeable with their tastes?

MelinaDear

The first day of school will be here soon and I need to know what a great "first day" outfit would be...

Tisha

I generally have a good sense about which clothing complements my body type but there is one thing I still can't figure out...

Help! Brianna

I've already been invited to some pool parties coming up this summer, and I'm worried about my wardrobe...

Sasha

I'm a sophomore and I'm going to my boyfriend's senior Prom. I know how much this night means to him, and I've done everything to make sure that it will be absolutely perfect...

Aaron

I've decided to go totally blond for Prom, but I have no idea how to do it. My friend told me not to use the same bleach that my mom uses for the laundry, and that there's some kind of special hair bleach I have to use. Is she right?

Kristyn

I know that everyone should always wear whatever they want and not what other people WANT or TELL them to wear, but it seems like there's a fine line between wearing what you want and just looking out of place. How do I keep from looking like a fashion freak?

Holly

I've decided to cut back on my monthly clothing budget to save money. The problem is that I'm used to having great outfits all the time. How do I cut way back on money for clothes and still look good?

StarLynnRose
