Wearing the Right Clothes
Get rid of the old clothes you don't need. If you feel like you need a change, then it may be because your old clothes are boring. Do a closet inventory and get rid of everything you don't like or that doesn't fit. This will not only get you more space for new clothes, but it will also help you find good clothes that you may have forgotten about. Just remember to not get rid of any clothes you like because they are "not cool". Your style is your choice!
Go to the mall. Go shopping with your mother or with your good friends. Make sure that whoever you're shopping with won't judge your style and make you pick what they want; you're trying to be original, remember? If you can't find anyone to go with, see if you can online shop or go alone. Real life shopping is better, though, because you can feel and see the clothing, while you can't do that online.
Pick the right stores. Picking stores that are "cool" won't do you any good unless you really like the store. Go to stores that grab your attention with clothes that you think are cool. Some nice stores are: Abercrombie and Fitch, Delia's, Target, Kohl's, H & M, and Forever 21.
Look for deals. Once you're in a store, look around for deals. It's okay to get something a little more expensive, but if it's your own money you're using, then you should go for deals and cheaper prices.
Find clothes you like. Don't choose your clothes based on what other people think is "fashionable". Choose what you like because you like it, not because someone else does.
Be inspired. You can find inspiration from other people, characters, places, other time periods, and more. Remember that you're creating your own style, so don't ever overdo it!
Choose a variety of clothes. Remember to choose a variety of clothes, not just one certain style or type. Choose different skirts, dresses, pants, shirts, leggings, coats, and more. Even if you're a tomboy, at least trying on a dress or skirt isn't the end of the world! You never know—you may like it!
Try it on. Try on your clothes and show your shopping buddy. A good shopping buddy is always honest, and will be sure to tell you if you don't look good in something! If something doesn't fit, try it in a different size. Never get something you don't completely and totally like, or otherwise you won't wear it!
Wear different types of clothes. Don't keep "sets" of clothes and only wear those as outfits. That won't be original at all! Mix things up a bit and don't be afraid to take a fashion risk! Try a skirt with super skinny jeans, or use your scarf as a belt!
Wear your clothes with pride. If someone says your style rocks, look them in the eye and say "Thank you!" If someone says they hate your outfit, look them in the eye and say 'If i wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it," and walk away. Never be afraid to be you!
Wearing Accessories
Wear nice accessories. Try things like belts, scarves, hats, etc. You can go shopping at stores that sell clothes or stores just for accessories like Claire's.
Do it yourself. Go online and look up some cute DIY accessories such as earrings, bracelets, etc. If you know how to knit or sew, use it to your benefit and make yourself a scarf or hat! Use your talents to your best ability.
Wear unique jewelry. If you like jewelry, then you can wear earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more! They don't need to be pure 24 carat gold; costume jewelry works just as well. If you don't like jewelry, then don't wear it! Style can shine without any jewels at all!
Wearing Makeup
Decide whether or not you want to wear makeup. This is a choice between you and your parents. Ask them if it's okay, and if so, do it on the weekends if you like. If your school is okay with makeup, then wear it if you want! Never overdo it, makeup doesn't make beauty. It just lets it shine brighter!
Wear subtle mascara if you want to. Just a little mascara, light colored eye shadow, and blush and lipgloss can go a long way. You should not wear too much makeup to school, because it will make you look fake. Wear a little more makeup than usual to parties and on weekends if you like!
Follow the school rules. If your school does have a rule about no makeup, then don't break it! You could get in trouble and it would not end well.
Keeping Clean
Use shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You can get these at stores such as Bath and Body Works. You can also use Lush facial products; they work very well!
Wash your face. You don't need million dollar soaps, but a scrub or soap will be good. Make sure it is oil free to prevent acne. If your mother has pimple cream, then use it!
Shower every day. If you're a girl over ten, then it's time you start showering every day. Use conditioner and shampoo, plus a body wash or any other products you like.
Have fun. Keeping clean should be fun! You can use bath bombs, sprays, and other fun things.
