Question:

Help with clothes for Freshman Orientation and First Day of School!?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

Could you give me some ideas please?

I am going to be a freshman in high school, if that wasn't obvious. It is a private school. I consider myself reasonably fashionable, but I don't really know what to go with (I went to a private school with uniforms before).

About me (well, my clothes):

~I don't really like wearing jeans unless they are dark and dressier.

~My style is "preppy classic," I guess. I've been told I dress kind of like Blair from Gossip Girl.

~I like sweaters, dark wash jeans, skirts, and dresses.

~I wear pearls with everything.

~I shop at Nordstrom, Saks, The Mercantile, J. Crew, and occasionally at Abercrombie & Fitch.

~I love polos.

~I can't wear skirts/shorts too short.

~I don't really like t-shirts with logos on them (A&F, etc.).

~I love sweaters... I like J. Crew ones a lot, but it gets a bit old.

~I H-A-T-E HATE HATE HATE HATE Wet Seat, Forever 21, Aeropostale, American Eagle and stores like that, so please don't list those.

~I have big b***s, a small waist, and athletic legs.

Thank you so so much in advance!

  2. Oh mio, you sound like me! I love the classic look and wear pearls with everything. My body type is the same as yours too. Plus Im a Freshie this year too. Do you hate having big b***s? I hate it!  Well its fun sometimes, but not in P.E. Love your style.

  3. picky picky.  

  4. i am not going to read all this c**p about your nordstrom & saks filled wardrobe you pathetic little freshmen...news flash...no one cares what you wear!

  5. this will suitable with you http://www.runwaydaily.com/runwaydaily/i...

  6. I would say urban outfitterss for sure I love them for preppy style for guys check it out you may you may not like it. Thanks for your answer to my question I hope this help you would look nice for your first day have fun.

  7. i think i top like this would be cute http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2994219?refs...

    and then with some black skinnie jeans and high pumpshttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31... in pink duhhh haha

    hope i helped :)!!<3

  8. i like polos too, and those paired w/ dark wash jeans look dressy.  idk about where u live but here its too warm to wear sweaters yet.  Why don't you wear a skirt hits a little above your knee (so it conforms with the dress code) and maybe a polo?  That would be good for orientation, and for the first day you could wear a nice summery dress (or the other way around)

    hope i helped : )  

  9. ok i'm not great at picking out clothes especially because everyone has different taste and i don't know you but i would go casual just because you can never go wrong try jeans or shorts with a cute sandal or sneaker and maybe a tee with a tank top under to layer

  10. how can you like A&F but hate A. Eagle the style is the same

    and why do you hate those stores you just listed my favorite except for wet seal  

  11. Urban outfitters

    Express

    Banana republic

    Armani Exchange

    Target

    Bebe

    Arden B.

    These are some of my favorites. Hope this helps.  

  12. Same here. I'm starting at a private high school and we don't have a uniform.Wear some really cute jeans with a cute sweater or tank depending on the weather. Add some cute shoes and accessories.  

  13. wait, if you're going to a private school than you have to wear uniform, right? this is one of the reasons why i cant handle public schools. i've been in private school my whole life and i cant imagine picking your clothes out everyday. i'm going to be a freshman too! but i have to wear uniform. the only advice to you is not to go over the top. dress nice but not too much. people would think you were a s****., rich girl. but hey what do i know? i've been wearing uniform my whole life. :)

  14. American Eagle is the best place ever too find jeans. ALL of my jeans are AE

  15. if your upscale like me :)

    try bananarepublic

    express is a bit lower scale but still classy

    dilliards

    i haven't been to these stores but they are in our upscale centre:

    cache

    harolds

    the buzz

    THE BUCKLE. it is a good store & it is specifically for your age.

  24. put out the options you're not sure about, then eenie-meanie-miny-moe and pick it without judgement. if you didn't want the one you picked then you sublconciously want one of the other outfits. Foolproof ;-)

    answer mine please!

  26. Wow, on my first day of high school I was mostly just worried about getting my locker open and finding my classes... Chill out, be comfortable- you're going to spend 75% of the time you're in this outfit sitting on your butt listening to boring first-day-of-school housekeeping.  Look, I promise, in 6 years you won't remember or care what you wore on your first day of high school and neither will anyone else.

  27. anyone who can list that much stuff about how they dress is way too picky and probably has plenty of clothes to choose from, so get over it.  

  28. thanks for answering mine. i am a freshman too!!!  try ralph lauren, vineyard vines(look at the belts), and lilly pulitzer (sorry i am really bad at spelling but you got my drift) they always have nice stuff!!

  29. very stubborn and very picky like everyone has been saying to you..you sound like a rich snob who's like all the REALLY expensive places but i love all the stores you hate because there not so pricey and also very very very cute :D  

  30. It sounds like you're going to do great, if I were you I would wear a cute summer dress, pearls and a simple cardigan with a cute book bag. You don't want to go over the top to impress the kids at your school by trying to make yourself look a lot older than you are. The cardigan will downsize your chest and if you wear heels it will make your athletic legs look long and lean. Have fun with it!

  31. go with a polo shirt with a nice undershirt that pops out at the bottom and wear some tight jeans with nice shoes
