---$kR---How to Look Effortlessly Stylish---$kR---

Everybody wants to know how to dress cute and look appropriate for whatever life brings, so if that's you then keep reading.

Steps:-

Accessories are a great, cheap way to create a unique style.

1. Choose clothes that flatter you: they should fit, and be neat and clean with a crisp appearance. Ask an unbiased friend or a sales assistant if you're not sure that an outfit suits you.
2. Always have a few outfits prepared in advance. That way, you won't have to spend lots of time rifling through your closet for certain events.
3. Choose what you like. If you enjoy dressing preppy, a polo shirt or two are a must. Enjoy what you wear; clothing should be fun.
   
4. Keep up with the latest trends, so that you know what's current and what isn't. Check fashion magazines and put your own twist on things!!!
5. Add a couple of accessories - for example, a watch, necklace, ribbon or belt.
6. Know that good quality shoes are a must. Wear something that matches your personal style as well as the outfit you are wearing.
7. Don't go over the top (for example, don't wear all leopard print).
8. Try not to look fake; don't wear something if it's not you.
9. Be daring and unique!!! If you like leopard print, try going for a leopard print headband. Try interesting combinations, like a cardigan with a skirt or baggy tank top with high waisted skinny jeans.
10. Go for variety. For example, if you like pink, try different shades, not just bubblegum pink; there's dusty pink, baby pink, hot pink, etc.
11. Buy more than one pair of jeans; a dressy pair, a casual pair, an 'outdoors' pair (especially handy when camping), and an 'at home' pair. Jeans are lifesavers, especially on those days that you can't find anything to wear. Try jeans with any top, a cute pair of shoes, maybe a belt, and off you go!!!
12. Mix 'n' match from previous seasons.
13. Black pants and denim are compulsory!!!
14. Check thrift stores and discount outlets, style shouldn't be expensive.
15. Make sure you have outfits: that means clothes that go well with each other.
16. Sometimes, it's better to go for quality than quantity. Better to have one outfit with really great quality than two outfits which fall apart after a couple washings.
17. Don't pay heed to what people say is "stylish". Just dress how you think you should dress, and create a style of your own.
18. Don't wear make-up that is too dark for your skin tone. It will make you look like you have a dirty face or make you look plain unattractive.
19. Nail polish does not have to match your outfits at all. It is an area to style by itself.
20. If you wear an outfit that you consider dressy or extra stylish, fix your hair in a way that is as unique as the outfit itself.
21. Don't over do, but don't under do also. If it's your style, go for it! Everyone has their own style. Make up usually goes well with the outfit but don't apply too much, or you will look like a doll.
22. Don't show too much skin (like a lot of cleavage or back). If you do too much, people will think you are a person that doesn't care what they wear.
23. Don't go to the stores where most people go to. It sometimes makes people look the same. Go to different stores, even the thrift store if needed. 

Tips:-

• When you feel you need to update your wardrobe a little, look through your closet and try to find a way to wear something you already have differently instead of immediately going shopping.

• Run to the bargain bin! You'll be surprised at what you'll find! Just because they're cheaper, does not necessarily mean they're unwearable! Also check out consignment stores and garage sales. You can find many cute, unique things for a fraction of their original price!!!

• Read the fashion section of a variety of magazines, such as Cosmopolitan and Glamour for the gals, and GQ for the guys. Collect tips; pay attention to what you like and dislike.

• You don't have to have clothes from all the newest or hottest designers. Look for the more simple pieces from lower end stores, like simple t-shirts and blouses, and then dress them up with the sometimes pricier accessories and/or jackets.

• Don't just go to Hollister and Abercrombie, because everyone else does. they are not the most original, and therefore do not always look effortless.

• Remember, following trends does not always make you stylish. True style depends on picking and choosing - You should wear what you think flatters you and suits your personality.

• Never let the clothes wear you. Your personality is what should shine through, not the personality of your clothes!

• When you use necklaces and/or accessories, use them in colors that are in or go with your outfit!!!

• Make with what you have; mix and match old clothes, or redesign and old pair of jeans.

• More tips can be found at The Style Diaries.

This one's from a girl just like you: it may be embarrassing, but thrift stores are a must. Aero, Hollister, and Abercombie are all the same, and everyone wears them. Especially in wealthy areas, thrift stores can be really handy.

Warnings:-

• Be true to yourself or you won't feel comfortable.

• Don't be trashy, if you would rather die than let your parents see what you're wearing, then don't wear it!

• Don't go naked, wear some clothes! Going out in a low cut tube top and booty shorts is not stylish

• Don't choose clothes just because other people like them. Have your own style, live the way you want to.
