DIY: REAL FASHION
By: Lizzy, 11, NJ (aka knitterek)
Going back to school can be a fashion nightmare! Who knows what people are going
to be wearing?!? Nobody wants to look out of place, but – the truth is, if you
stay true to who you are – you’ll look great no matter WHAT you are wearing!
Here are some tips from Miss O Club member knitterek on great ways to create
your own style…
Do you want to have super style without buying the whole mall (and spending a
fortune!)? You can have real style without using your life’s savings with these
simple tips:
LAYER!! Tank tops under polos, shirts of
different lengths, tank tops with different
strap widths, or anything you can think of!!
This can really expand your wardrobe
possibilities.
Find your pair of PERFECT jeans!! If you
have your one pair that fits you perfectly, that
you can wear with anything, you’ll be all set
for any day!! If you really want embellished
jeans, try to only splurge on one pair.
Try cheaper stores, like Target and Kmart. A
lot of times the have similar stuff, but for A
LOT less.
Buy things that will last for more than a
season, like a really good pair of jeans, or
solids to layer. Prints go out of style faster
than solids. It’s okay to splurge on something
that will last.
Make sure you LOVE the clothes you buy. If
you buy something just because it’s in style, or
everyone else has it, you won’t be happy in it.
Only buy things you love, and everyone will know
that you have true style: self confidence.
If you follow these tips, and you love what
you’re wearing, you’ll be all set for
compliments, and your piggy bank will be happy
too.
