AboutZ. Amanda Chen Expertise I have always been interested in fashion and actually design/redesign some of my own clothes. Since I'm a teen, I can answer questions relating to teenage fashion, what kinds of clothes make you look older or younger than what you actually are, and where you can find bargains that resemble designer clothes. However, since I'm usually focused on the new, I don't know much about vintage clothing. Additionally, although I know a lot about skirts, shorts, and shoes, outerwear fashion is beyond me.
Experience I design or redesign some of my own clothes, and I am constantly trying out new looks. Additionally, I've also learned quite a few fashion tricks on how to stand out and how to blend in.

Question My mom thinks I have too much clothes so she budgets me on how much I spend. My allowance is a puny 10 dollars a month and I have no clothing allowance. Could you find me two outfits each under 50 dollars, one for a night out/ date and one for school - casual yet looks put together and really cute. If you can find cute bags and shoes please add. Thanks! :)
P.S. My measurements are 5 feet and 1/4 of an inch and 85 pounds. I am a dancer :)
Answer Hey Christie!
Your mom sounds kinda harsh. I used to be on a budget too, but $10/month?! Wow.
My suggestion if you are on a budget to go to the forever21 website at http://www.forever21.com/default.asp
They have a huge selection, the prices are cheap, and when you click on an item to view it, they give suggestions on what else you could buy to form an outfit.
