How can i be more fashionable/stylish?

Question

I'm 24 and about to start uni. I want to be fabulous but i have no style!! I don't want to be trendy and like into all the new styles of the moment, i want to just look effortlessly stylish with simple clothes. Like a white T-shirt and Jeans but styled up with jackets bags etc, you know what i mean. Anyway i'm gonna be on a primark/peacocks budget. Help me!! At the minute, i have no style and i hate my drab clothes. Im also quite overweight but have lost a stone (another 4 to go) and i am sure when i get to goal i'll feel alot better than i do now. Plus i went from having long blonde hair to long brown hair then decided i wanted to go back blonde and had to get it all cut off to get the brown out, now i have short blonde hair and look like rod stewart if it gets slightly wet! So i spose in a few months once that has grown i'll feel better too.

Ahhhhh sigh..............help...............

Answer 1

Uhm Perhaps you should start looking online alot more to see whats in the style or even buy cheap magazines one a month to see the latest trends. Not only will this help you but then you'll be able to see what you like and make sure you buy what you like and think will suit you (helping you're budget).

Another good thing about magazines is - they show you the latest styles and where you can get them on the highstreet.

A few fashionable places that are quite cheap I know of are:

- Primark & Peacocks like you said but then theres: Asda, Matalan, New look, Select as well as sale racks!! Make sure you save money for the sales and then go and have a field day!

Don't forget to check out the not so popular shops for cheaper prices.

New look is amazing for funky tshirts at low prices!

Ebay is also a great site - even if the stuff is second hand as long as its in good condition. Also, if you're prepared too - check out charity shops! They have some great stuff in as well as carboots which do too.

Cheap and cheerful!!

Gather more infos about fashion trends and update yourself with what in and what's not in trends and style for the season. http://www.hilary.com is  a good site for fahion trends. Also, research about what is suited for your color, your figure and of course your lifestyle. But above all of it, the most important thing is how you carry yourself. Boost that confidence and everythign will follow.

When you achieve this all you can pursue yourself to a modeling career. Why not sign up for a modeling portfolio in  New Faces. it's the site i stumble upon. It's in http://www.newfaces.com. the registration is even for free. .

Here are some really great tips I found on how to be fabulous!

Makeup is almost as important as hair. Makeup can make or break you. Try using a tinted moisturizer, don't use foundation. Also wear translucent powder, mascara and a neutral lip color. If you don't want to wear mascara, at least curl your eyelashes. This will make them look a lot bigger.

Accessories can make a dull outfit great. A great accessory to use is a clutch. Clutches are multi-taskers; they can be used for special occasions, and they can also be used for a night out or a day at work/school. Jewelry is another accessory that is a life-saver. A nice necklace and a pair of earrings can do the trick if put with the right outfit. Rings, less common in the jewelry world, will add any twist to an outfit that you are wearing. Scarves, belts, and headbands are also great accessories.

If your looking for cheap things, go to your nearest material store and create your own styles or adjust some old clothes you might want to throw away!

Exercise may be a way that most of us do not enjoy spending our time, but the benefits that can be had can not be ignored. Taking the time to exercise can leave you looking better on the outside and feeling more energized and less stressed within. Not only can exercise leave you looking for a smaller jeans size, but it can also leave skin glowing and looking refreshed. If you dont want to spend any money go jogging for at least half an hour twice a week!

well about the clothes you can always accesorize !!

if your wearing jeans bangles and hoops would match up!

thats like the urban style !along with a metalic bag of any colour!

or go for the indy style!

leavy earings - http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/cat...

and a bonho hairband -http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayPr...

as well as a brown bag and gladiator sandals - urban outfitters!

im not saying you need to buy these things in these exact shops ha!

also for the hair you can get extensions on ebay for really cheap or in some shops they have the for less than 25 dollars!

also wear a bit of makeup or if your pale = fake tan!

try and wear hats there are many different styles the french types are cute that hang on the back of your head!also try clips and hairbands too!!

just always accesorize but don't over do it if you know what i mean ha!
