Expert Answer

You should choose something you like! That's the first thing. You shouldn't wear anything you don't feel comfortable in. Beyond that, just try to choose items that fit you well that you find look good on you.

Question

How do you survive your freshman year?

Community Answer

One of the best ways to survive your freshman year is to ask for help when you need it. If you are falling behind in your classes, ask for help from your teachers. If you are nervous or unsure about making new friends, reach out to a new group of people and ask to share lunch or a work table.

Question

What if nothing looks good on me?

Community Answer

If you feel nothing looks good on you, you might need to try branching out into different cuts and styles of clothing. Visit your local clothing store and try on different types of clothing. If you need some additional help, you can ask a salesperson for a variety of clothing cuts and styles to try on.

Question

What hair style is the best for curly hair?

Community Answer

Curly hair is versatile, and can be placed in just about anything. If you want to look elegant, a simple undo such as a French twist is always a good idea. If you want to look casual, pinning your hair halfway back with a small clip is a great idea.

Question

What makeup should you do for year 7?

Community Answer

When choosing a makeup style, go for whatever type of makeup application you feel best in. If a smoky eye and nude lip make you feel great, great! If you prefer a more toned-down appearance, go for it.

Question

What happens if you're not allowed to wear make up?

Community Answer

If you are not allowed to wear makeup, you can use your hair and clothes to emphasize your favorite features. If you like your cheekbones, for instance, you can wear a high collar and wear your hair pulled back. If your lips are your favorite feature, you can employ a chin-grazing bob. There are many ways to emphasize your favorite features without makeup.

What do I do if I wear a uniform?

Community Answer

Try using makeup and hair as your "statement" pieces. Also, if shoes aren't included in the uniform, try mixing it up with different colors, styles, and patterns.

Question

What if I look ugly with my hair pulled back?

Ask_Leah_321

Community Answer

If your school allows it, wear your hair down, in braids, or in a bun. If you feel more comfortable with your hair pulled back, let a bit of hair loose at the sides to give yourself a new, simple look.
