How can I look my age?

high school backpacks for girls 2012 image

Rachel

People think I'm 11 and I'm actually 15. Plus I'm really short (only 5ft.) Once my teacher looked me dead in the eye and asked in front or the entire class if I'm even old enough for high school and people laughed. Only boys younger then me ever ask me out or guys that are like 20 but that's kinda gross. I want a boyfriend but one that's actually my age. I just turned 15 two weeks ago and I don't want to be "cute" or "adorable" anymore. I don't want to dress like a whore or anything but how can I look my age?

Answer
Hi! That sounds rough. :( I have some ideas though.
If you are allowed, wear some makeup! If you are not, even just a shimmery lip balm or lip gloss will make you look more mature! Here is a link to a simple and school appropriate makeup look.

Also, dress up a bit, try simple patterns instead of rainbows, cat hoodies, (not being mean but lots of clothing from Stiches or Streetwear Society) I don't know how you dress haha so I'm not accusing you of dress like a seven year old either, just tips!
Try spending more money on less clothes so you can get a few very nice quality outfits.
Also, possibly use a cute tote or purse instead of a backpack.

As for the hair, try searching some YouTube videos. Kaileemckenzie is a great role model and is very helpful same with cutegirlshairstyles! Instead of just leaving your hair directly down, curly a few pieces, twist back you bangs, put it in a side bun, anything goes!

Good luck and I hope I helped!

What to keep in my Back-to-School bag?

Sweetheart

I am going to be a Sophomore in high school this year and I want to be organized and prepared. I want to keep what I bring with me to school at a minimum because I don't want to be carrying extra bulk. What, in your experience, is handy to have on you while at school that doesn't take up so much space in a backpack/purse. And what do you bring with you to school?

Answer
Here's some ideas of what to keep in your bag :

â¢A well organized binder for all your classes or a couple small ones for each core class (English, History, Science, and Math usually)

â¢Planner for the 2011-2012 school year. Look for ones by good brands like 5 Star (You can find 'em at Walmart). They help ya keep track of all your homework and things like hair appointments.

â¢Calculator. Ya usually need one for tricky math stuff. Teachers probably provide them for students who don't have them when needed, but it's best to have a calculator you already know how to use in a jiffy.

â¢Pencils & pens in a pencil case. I always had a big supply of mechanical pencils, pens, sharpies, colored pencils, and highlighters in a pencil case that I could clip into my everything binder. They're very lightweight and you'll always be sure to have a pencil -- even if you leave one in your last class.

â¢A flash drive. They're small and lightweight. You can keep it in your pencil case for those times when you just can't finish that English essay during school hours and wanna bring it home.

â¢Your cell if you have one. I always kept mine in the front pocket of my backpack. Never took it out, but it felt good having it there in case of an emergency - you never know!

â¢Sticky notes. I jotted stuff down I needed to remember and stuck 'em to something I pulled out every night- like my math notebook. They come in great colors and won't add much weight to your bag.

â¢Extra paper. Always keep another notebook or a stash of unopened lined paper in your bag. They don't add too much weight and you never know when you'll run outta room. TIP: You don't have to put the paper in at the beginning of the year. You can wait till you start to fill up your notebooks.

â¢Book covers. Usually required and extremely lightweight. You can put 'em on your books as soon as you get them.

â¢Keep a small kit in your locker/backpack for those moments you might get caught off guard. Here's what to put in it : A couple dollars, hair bands, breath mints, tampons (or pads or both) and tissues. You'll always be ready for whats coming and if you put it all in a discreet box or bag, nobody will ever know!

â¢If ur a girl (I'm assuming you are), then you can also keep perfume, deodorant & other stuff you think you need.

Good Luck!

TIP: Put heavier, bigger books closer to your back for less weight & use a bag with padded shoulder straps. You can also keep it lightweight by cleaning it out once or twice a week.

how much do you spend on new school clothes?

high school backpacks for girls 2012 image

and about how many outfits do you get. I use to get 5-6 new outfits. then my mom started giving me 500 dollars to get everything I needed for school (clothes,shoes,supplies backpack) im in high school btw going to be a junior this year.

and can you help me come up with some cute trendy outfits? post pictures if you can maybe.

Answer
I personally prefer to "shop in my closet" which means that I buy new clothes based on what I already have rather than spending X amount of outfit before school start.

First organize and declutter my wardrobe and throw out and donate anything that doesnt suit my personal style or my figure, repair or tailor things that can be repaired such as loose buttons (I can't sew so i ask friends who can or you can go to a tailored to professionally repair/tailor your clothes).

With the remaining clothes, I sort them first by season (move back the off-season clothes somewhere else, in a plastic box underneath the bed or in the corner of the closet/drawers) and then sort the current season clothes by clothing type (skirts, shorts, jeans, pants, casual tops, dressy tops, casual sweaters like hoodies and jumpers, cardigans, blazers/short jackets, flats, heels, casual shoes boots and so on)
and then again by color (neutrals next to each other and then going for the pink-red-purple-blue-green-yellow-orange "color theory pattern).
This help you to see what you already have.
http://www.learnvest.com/2012/04/9-easy-tricks-to-maximize-your-wardrobe/

I would first check if Ive enough basic staples such as solid neutral tank/camisoles, t-shirts, solid neutral pants/jeans/shorts/skirts (whatever you wear most), cardigans/hoodies and eventually blazer and see if I need any new good everyday shoes.
Everyday clothes and shoes first in basic neutral styles,

THEN slowly add fun, trendy or evening pieces, making sure that they can already be worn with something you already own. Lets say you want to get a flannel button down (casual fall staple for some people), make sure you have either buttoms, tops or accessories in the color of the prints before buy it (or buy it while buying the shirt).

What clothes and shoes depends on person to person. What a 16 years old girl would wear, a 20-25 years old wardrobe would very different.

Im 24 and prefer more professional clothes and shoes for my basic pieces like low heel leather pumps, riding boots, ballet flats, loafers/oxfords, blazers, button down shirts, pencil skirts, pantyhose, pearls kind of things and then dress them up (with nice jewelery and dress shoes or a sparkly top or skirt) for evening and dress them down for more casual wear, like a blazer with casual jeans and flats or a pencil skirt with tall boots and a button-down shirt and cardigan. This is my personal wardrobe staples.

I don't care about much outfits I need, I just gradually update my wardrobe by buying a couple of remixable pieces each month that goes with my basic staples! I usually buy at h&m and leredoute + deichmann, vagabond and eccoshop for shoes/boots. :3

Sorry for long answer, but I hope it sparked some ideas..

I am going into 9 grade. What type of school suplies do you need. This includes clothes, agsseries, makeup, bages, and school suplies like basci stuff and the extra things you need. I am doing pre ap classes as well. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

Answer
Pretty much everything you use in junior high, except most girls wear a tote or large purse instead of a backpack. You might as well just tattoo "FRESHMAN" on your forehead if you come to school with a huge backpack.

Hey guys could you help me get ready for high school?

Danielle

Okay. I am not sure whether to bring a backpack, messenger bag, or tote to school. I'm going to be a sophomore. I used a backpack freshmen year, but lots of other girls had totes. I mean the backpack was no problem, but I'm not sure because the backpack may sometimes be to bulky and may get in the way of things. And if I do get a backpack or messenger bag, is it okay if I but Dickies brand. Will it carry enough books? Thanks.

Answer
If its anything like my high school, you'll want to use a backpack like Jansport. That is a sturdy brand and they're cute. Since backpacks just go on the floor next to the seats, you shouldn't buy a tote bag that's super cute and will get dirty unless you have a basket underneath or are okay with it getting dirty.
I think a backpack is better for comfort but if your teachers give your class a home set of books (one to keep at home) then use a tote cause you wont have to bring a book to class.
If both is an option, do that and see which suits you better.
Also you can carry your books or put them in your locker instead of jamming them into your backpack.
Dickies is a good brand and ehh backpacks aren't really that bulky unless they roll on the floor :p

good luck! And whichever choice you make im sure will be fine.
yay for class of 2012! :)
