How Can I Become A Fashion Expert In High School?
Ok, so I am going into high school in the fall & I REALLY want to know how to be a fashionable person. I want to know how to wear, how to do my make up, shoes, hair…. EVERYTHING! My wardrobe rite now isn’t bad but it isn’t the best. I shop at stores like rue21, Pacsun, hollister, & all that stuff, but I want to dress like a super model & be extravagant! I live in Erie, PA & there aren’t alot of good stores but can anyone give me some advice?
Here is some stuff on me: im 14 going on 15, I have medium lenght brown hair with side bangs with really beautiful blue eyes with a hint of gold in them, I’m 5 foot 3 inches, i weigh 102 lbs, I have great long legs, I have straight white teeth, really long eyelashes, & I have an hourglass figure. so any advice on clothes, jewelery, makeup, shoes, & any other stuff?

find a web site that tells you latest & greatest & it takes time for fashion trends to trickle down to our age!

(Sorry for the Wall o’text)
Being a fashion expert & a fashionable person are two separate things; be aware that being fashionable doesn’t always equal trendy (it’s a suggestive thing. Not everyone will agree with what you wear). After all, as Coco Chanel has said, “fashion is made to be unfashionable” …. I think that what you’re looking for is being stylish, but I’m afraid that I can’t help you with that, except for wearing clothes that fit you – from your outer to undergarments.
You have to discover that on your own. As you get older, you’ll probably learn a lot about your self & your sense of style & preferences may change. Fashion is always changing to the times, ideas, & place.
And perhaps it will take more time to do all you want than you think (I know it did for me; I was a girly girl, to a tomboy, & it wasn’t until my jr. year that I got into fashion & grew fond of wearing lolita fashion -I’m still learning & enjoying the different styles & folks around me).
I suppose if you have a love for clothes, that’s a good start. Do some research about fashion history, fashion around the globe, be open to social history (as fashion is reflected in it) as well as the fine arts, etc. . .
Other than that, I don’t think it’s a good thing to concentrate on that sort of subject at this point of your life -or at least have it on your mind 24-7. You haven’t even arrived in high school yet. Have fun & open your mind while your four years in high school still exists, & don’t forget to take advantage of school activities & being with the people there. It’ll help a whole lot once college starts – you’ll be surprised on how fast 4 years can go by.
As for your second set of questions, I suggest googling things like “clothes that flatter skin” & “clothes that flatter body type” – if you search hard enough, you’ll discover that there are more unique types of female frames – in other words, you might actually have a different type of body frame.
Good luck. You’ll be needing it
