How can I be in fashion??

Question

Ok well I am 15 and I like fashion. Well my dad dosen't like fashion LOL (its not important to him) and so he gives me really no money for clothes and accessories and such. Basically I have to buy everything on sale or clearance for really cheap, $10 or less and the problem with that is I have a lot of stuff in my closet but most of which I don't like very much and I only bought because It was cheap. He thinks one bag is enough and that accessories are not important. I don't have my own money and I can't get a job. I also have a hard time finding clothes that fit because I am kind of short and small so a lot of the times when I do find something its either too long or they don't have my size on clearance/sale. How can I be in fashion?? Thanks!!

Answer 1

sit down and talk with your dad about how fashion is important to girls, where it doesn't matter to boys, some dads just don't know these things.

i never understood it with my daughters and wife and granddaughters, i just know that's how girls are.  guys can be happy with sox and shoes (or boots) and a pair of bluejeans and a tshirt and we really don't see anything wrong with wearing that to church too. you may need another woman to explain it to him, dad's can be thick headed at times.

dad ought to loosen up in the wallet a bit for his daughter.

Answer 2

the store he is refering to is called Steve and Barry's. But I think they are going bankrupt. But that would have been a great option. I suggest looking through magazines if you like a style imitate it by going through sales racks, or like forever21.  

Answer 3

Answer 4

you can be in fashion by:

-reading fashion magazines (seventeen, cosmogirl!, teen vogue, etc.)

-talking to your friends about it

-google it

-look at "what's new" pages on clothing store websites

-& just be yourself!

i also have problems finding pants because i am small & short, so i usually have to go to abercrombie kids or delia*s. i suggest delia*s because they usually have deals on the pants, plus they have many small sizes to choose from. hope i helped [:

Answer 5

my parents do the

same thing whenever i

go to buy a new bag "oh,

you've got a ton of bags and

you don't need more".

of course you can still be in

fashion even if you shop in the

clearance section, that's fine just

as long as what you buy's not totally

out of season - so in the winter don't

wear hot pink tank tops with boots and

stuff - but you get what i mean.

american eagle has great clearance,

most of my tops (none of them say AE

or i love american eagle) come from there

and they're all pretty cute and all under $20.

i got a top there for $7 one time.

forever21 is the BEST - clearance or not.

and everything is on-trend and cheap. last

time i went they had skinny jeans for $15.

also try gap. they're not over priced and they

have a ton of different sizes and colors all the

time. basic and pretty!

and if you only get one bag get one CUTE,

plain tote bag like a leather bag or just a simple

navy blue tote.

accessories aren't totally necessary, just have

a few like a watch or some barettes. you can get

hair accessories at the drugstore, even.

Answer 6

I know it's not good to shop always from clerances but I'm like that too..

My advices are..

First Advice: Spot few outlets that belong to good brands or just the brands you like their style.Try to visit there often to see if they have something new,if not,not a big deal.If they got anything new that's just great cuz in that way you have a better chance to get your sizes before everybody finds out that there s a cute abercrombie hoodie in that outlet store.

Second One:Get a good sense of style of your own.

  Are you actually mind controlled by famous big brands?I hope not.They are generally styled and manufactured for different body types and different styles.So get a good sense of style of your own to not to spend money on bargain but unwanted items.After all brand doesnt mean everything,you could look horrible even in a Chanel and beautiful in a simple dress.

  

The Third:Give them a good look before deciding.

So you decided that they are not good enough.I know they may not be perfect and may be a shirt of the last season,just look at it before throwing it off.Nobody memorizes all the catalogue and you are not meant to throw your clothes after the season change,so let the people think that you have bought that shirt months ago and you are still wearing it casually.By the way,for example if you have a shirt which is big for your shape,try wearing it with a skinny jean.Hollywood stars do it,why wouldnt you?

Fourth:Dont buy the things which have bold sense of fashion.

It may be sooo HOT for that day but you won't wear a high waisted neon pink jean after a year believe me.So dont buy such things.

Fifth:Give Jeans a Chance

Blue Jeans are good things to buy since they can't change much.

Sixth and the Last One:Do it yourself!!

Okay,what I mean is;

You have : 1-Plain White Tshirt 2-A cute but large top which has a nice graphic on it.

Cut the logo off and sew it to your simple shirt.You can even fake a hollister if you could sew nice.

jeez..I wrote so much,I hope it helps.
