How to Change Your Image (mostly for Girls)

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Start out with a whole new you!

Steps

1. Changing your image requires that you think about it in advance. What style do you want to change it to? Trampy? Preppy? Punky? Girly? Once you have decided what you want to be make a list of all the clothing and accessories you will need, skirts, studded belts, more black clothing, tighter clothes. Than make a list on different actions and characteristics. The easiest way is to watch TV shows and/or movies with characters with styles that you. For instance, if you want to be rockerish, watch Degrassi's Ellie. Note her outfits, what she says, what she does, what she likes ect.
2. If needed, also spend the summer learning new music. If you're going rocker, you may want to listen and get to know some classic rock artists and learn their music.
3. The easiest time to aquire all the stuff you need is over the summer. You will have the whole summer to buy a new wardrobe and decide on how you are going to go about doing it. Summer is great because you won't see most of your classmates. Trying to make over your style during the school year will just make you look like a poser, which is not good.
4. Plan out some outfits, expieriment with different make-up and hairstyles.
5. Pick out a simpler outfit for the first day of school. You don't want to go in a full fledged tramp or rocker look. Go for just a few key things to show your look has changed. If you choose an outfit that is too showy it will look like you just decided to change your look the week before, but if it's simpler, it'll look more natural. Most preps don't come to school in a mini, polo, sunglasses, heels everyday.
6. Spend money on things that will fit your new look. If you're with your friends, make sure to only look at stuff for your new look.

Tips

• Degrassi is a great show to get inspiration off of. You can get clothing ideas and stuff off that show. If you are going: Trampy-Manny, Girly/preppy-Paige, Rocker-Ellie, Smarty-Liberty, Funky/conservative-Emma. But honestly you might want to watch other shows too.
