Hey could you help me....okay im petite but hippy at the same time...........i want sum jeans or any other clothing that will flatter my shape and make me look my age, im 2oyrs old and i look 16! lol With any tips would be helpful......

Answer
Hello Mercedes, I'm sorry if there was a delay, I haven't been on my computer very recently. Jeans are good, and since you are petite, you can do them in a variety of colors and cuts. A trendy kind of jean right now is a "skinny" or "super straight" jean, usually darker in color. These are jeans that will fit you all the way down your legline and skim your legs. They look really cute tucked into boots, but they also look nice with flats and heels. Being petite means you can pull off a lot of looks, but try to make sure you don't look tiny or overwhelmed. Some things that help are V-necklines, necklaces, and other accesories that are next to your neck, head, and shoulders because these draw the eye upward. For the hippy or boho (bohemian, lots of wood accesories, kinda hippy, stuff like that) look, you can always look in thrift stores, because they usually have a variety of things. Plus, vintage is cute! Wear bright colors, don't let dark colors pull you down and make you look boring. If you want to look younger, like 16, have fun with your clothes because that is what teenagers do! Try to avoid super long shirts though, because they can make you look shorter, and also don't use big prints, unless it's like a logo on a cute fitted tee. if you want to add some "weight" to you're body, you can go for chunkier pieces, especially in the fall and winter. for summer, sundress that hit above your knees are pretty, and can still be worn casually. If you want more tips, try looking at some fashion magazines, like Teen magazines and stuff, or go to the mall and look at what they put on the manicans.

Sorry if this is too long, but don't freak yourself out about it, and only pick pieces YOU like, or else you won't look like yourself. Have fun!
