    Try imagining that your body is divided in 2 halves with your waist as the middle. Think about how you can balance those halves, like wearing more volume on the bottom if you're wider on the top.

    What can I do to be a great and famous fashionista?
    Community Answer
    Focus on developing your own sense of style. What clothes make you feel confident? What clothes do you like? Once you've figured out these, then look towards the runways for inspiration. Don't buy a whole bunch of stuff at first: focus on creating a base wardrobe of items that you can mix and match easily. A few accent pieces are enough to start out. Also, find people or celebs who share your style and look to them for inspiration!
