Your Complete Guide To Getting A New Look This Summer

Give your kicks a new look by wearing them with a skirt or dress instead of jeans. | Source: Shutterstock

Getting a new look from your wardrobe doesn’t have to break the bank. Obviously, cheap clothes are an option (but probably not the best one!). Instead, splurge on a few high quality things that you’ll wear forever–and then get creative with what you already have.

A great way to make the most of clothes you already have and love? Mix up your accessories. A plain white tee becomes super fashion-forward when worn with a statement necklace. Have a pair of classic kicks you love? Rock them with a sun dress instead of jeans. You’ll feel girly and cute but still be comfy at the same time! Don cocktail rings with an everyday outfit. Jazz up a denim jacket with cool pins. Your options are endless, DIY, and totally fun.

When going for a new look, it’s important to remember that fit is everything. If something is adorable but too baggy or tight, it’s not going to look right–so either toss it or tailor it! Tailoring items to fit will make the stuff you already have look totally different–and better!–on your cute frame.

It helps to have pals around to help you come up with cute ideas. While you’re at it, why not have a clothing swap? you’ll discover stuff you guys never knew you even had and be able to rock it in ways you never thought about before!

    i have recently started to wear weave o.O LOL , but i’ve been getting tons of compliments on it (y) and i guess i’ve been trying out a girl look since i’m usually tomboyish . so i’d say transforming myself has been a great experience .

    Ive got really red hair and pale skin (i wont tan, ughh, sooo annoying!), but i don’t really like my hair, i want to dye it but i dunno what color i should go… Any ideas??

      Don’t we all wish we had Jennifer Aniston’s hair? No matter what the style, it aawlys looks amazing.I aawlys think I want bangs and then I end up regretting it and pinning them back 90% of the time. If you are’t like that though, I think bangs would look nice!

    • avatarDesire says:

      I love all the cuts. Similar but some have that a-line to it. I think you’ll look beautiful with eehtir one! I’m so not good when it comes to color since I have zero experience in coloring my hair, but I know whatever you choose will look lovely!

    I have brown hair and when ever I get blonde high lights they always end up showing my roots later maybe if I highlight all my layers except for the very top would it look better growing back?

  4. avatarLizz says:

    I’m a natural blonde but i just dyed my hair purple and it looks awesome!!!

  5. avatarZoey says:

    me and my BFF both have natural blonde hair but we both are dying it lighter (well i already died mine) it look awesome!

    Should I dye my hair hot pink?

    • avatarGwynethWynter says:

      Depends if you have dark hair like dark brown or black i would say just get some streaks or the tips of your hair done but if you lighter hair like blonde or light brown maybe dip dying would look good. If you are into the “scene” look then a whole head of pink hair would look epic! Really up to you but if you want to see how it looks first you can always just buy some temporary hair dye, coloured hair spray or you can Google virtual hair or something along those eyes. There are so many websites that can help you, the basic idea of the websites is that you can try different hair styles and colours on a photo without actually cutting or dying your hair. :)

    if you change your eyebrow shape it can make a lot of difference:) after summer you usually look different anyway e.g your hair is longer(noticeably) and your probably more tanned. ^ and for acne or just spots in general put toothpaste on them and keep the skin clear in the day

  8. avatarMorgan says:

    My Hair iz a werid color of brown and iz the same color as my eyez so Im dying my hair bright red (not to bright) with black streaks :) I plan on going punk this year!! <3

    I like all of this advice on changing your style, but for me when school starts again, I have to wear uniforms! Even though I go to a public school…

    • avatarGwynethWynter says:

      Same! Jeez schools are so annoying anyways remember u can add a scarf to your outift (school colours or a white or black scarf are acceptable) make sure the scarf is fashionable and not thin to make a statement, also long single necklaces are awesome and cute jackets in school colours… I also add stockings with fun patterns and ballet flats instead of school shoes. Check with teachers or uniform description to see what you can get away with wearing. Google Aria Montgomery (pretty little liars) because even though she doesnt wear uniforms her outfits are always really cute and easy to translate to a uniform. Depending on your school you might even be able to get away with a pair of nice boots (below the knee I guess) and even some long, extravagant earrings.

      U GO GIRL! XXXXXXX

      • avatarLizha says:

        - I have never, ever dyed my hair. My mom always desreibcd hair coloring like it was an addiction and therefore evil. Moms are great for that sort of thing. But, if I ever were to brave my mom’s wrath, I think I’d dye it ridiculously RED. Like crazy red, and then maybe I’d get comments on my hair and not my kids for a change. =)October 21, 2010 10:17 AM

      Like a girl on fire! Nice!

  16. avatarshane(im a girl) says:

    i really wanna get bangs but im not sure how it’ll look and I have oily skin so it wouldn’t help my acne situation but then they’d cover up my acne so no one would be able to see my acne

    • avatarlissette101 says:

      i am cutting mine to because mine are as long as my hair and my hair is pretty long .. LMAOO!! <3 and just sop you know .. i think that would be an amzing idea to cut your bangs :)

  17. avatarmisslmh11 says:

    I’m cutting my bangs! And I want to add more “grown-up” attire to my wardrobe. I’m tired of looking like a high school and I want to get into a sorority.
