Q&A for How to Create the Perfect Wardrobe (Teenage Girls)

You have to find the color palette that works best with your skin, hair, and eyes. You can find your color palette online. Once you know what colors you look good in (this mostly applies to your tops since they're closest to your face and hair), shopping for clothes will be so much easier.

Give them to a friend or donate them. If they're expensive pieces, try selling them to a consignment store to see if you can make some of your money back.

It's great to get a few new pieces at the beginning of every season, or every 2-3 months, if it's within your budget. It's always good to have a couple of new pieces that you're excited about and feel good in and that you're not tired of wearing.

It depends on if you have a school uniform. If you do, then you don't need too much because you're just wearing the same thing every day. If you don't, then you will want enough outfits to last you for 2 weeks so you can rotate them. Try to get pieces that coordinate so you can mix and match, potentially creating even more outfit combinations. Accessories like scarves and jewelry can also help change up outfits.

Leggings, a denim jacket, sweatpants, a pantsuit, ankle boots, a sweatshirt, a wrap dress, a button-up shirt, and dark washed skinny jeans.

Forever 21, Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Pink, etc.

It shouldn't matter if other people like your clothes. What matters is that YOU like your clothes! If you like them, you'll appear confident, and that is what's attractive. You can definitely look in fashion magazines and blogs to see what trends are in, and choose pieces that you like that are on-trend.

Hollister, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Forever 21, Pink, and Rue 21 are all great options for you to look into.

Just start with a few staples, say 2 pairs of jeans, a few shirts, a jacket, some shoes, and maybe a dress or two. Go shopping every few months, and eventually your collection will grow. Check out outlet stores or thrift store, you'll probably find some good deals.

Personally, I don’t wear spots on spots but it’s up to you where what you like. Try to find colors that you feel look good together. Remember to dress for yourself and not to impress others.

Always stick to your own style! You can also wear flattering clothes that make you feel more confident about yourself.

A pair of jeans, some tops, a denim jacket, sweatpants, black leggings, black dress, sweatshirts, crop tops, and at least one pair of sneakers and one pair of dress shoes.

Someone who does that is not really your friend and is toxic. If it gets worse or does not stop, tell a trusted adult.

Kmart, Best and Less, Target and Big W are all inexpensive shops.

I recently found great deals at Rue21 and threadup.com for my teenage daughter.

Ross, Kohl’s clearance, Old Navy, and H&M. Forever 21 is relatively inexpensive as well. Ross is my favorite place to shop, especially for shoes.

Denim is a strong color, so you might want to stick to plain colors, like white. Patterns will be too much under the denim. A white t-shirt or a spring floral dress will be nice, as floral is one of the few patterns that will match, though it's best as a dress.

It may be nerve-wracking, but just go ahead and tell her directly. Wait for the right time, when you're both in a good mood or when the topic of shopping/clothing comes up. You should, as a 13-year-old, be dressing in what you want to wear. For more information on how to tell your mom, check out Get What You Want from Your Parents .

If you are still wearing kids size or small teen sizes, try looking into stores that have simple teenage clothing, but in smaller sizes. Old Navy Kids is one example, but there are plenty of others. If you have the money, you could also get clothes tailored, or use this as a great opportunity to learn to make them smaller yourself.

You can get clothes from charity shops. What ones are available depends on where you live, but common ones include British Heart Foundation, Oxfam, British Red Cross, Barnaro's and Cancer Research UK. Some shops have more stock at the back, so if you are looking for something specific, ask if they have anything like it in the back. You can also ask people who have clothes in the same size as you if they have anything they donate want. You can also buy from online stores which sell secon-hand clothing, such as eBay.
