] Steps

1. Do not follow the trend. Seriously. Get real. I mean do you really want to do what other people are doing? Do you seriously want to be mini-me? I didn't think so. Create your own trend. Something that fits you perfectly, something that you would be proud to be the creator of. It could something totally out of this world or it could be like they dressed back then. Whatever you want. Be your own fashion designer.

2. First you need to know all of the 'fashion lingo'. This will help and if your talking about clothes you won't sound stupid. Try some fashion books or search it up the internet. Either way DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

3. Create a totally cool outfit that looks and feels great. Use matching colors and patterns. When you buy your clothes make sure they fit. You don't want them to tight or to baggy. Also make sure they feel good. Don't buy them if they make you itchy or very uncomfortable. Make sure that you feel confident in the clothes. If all the requirments are good then buy it!

4. Create your own super special fashion journal. Cut out clothes or styles that you like and paste them into your fashion journal. Write down a couple of your favorite outfits and say how you feel in them.

5. Add accessories. From beads to earrings or rings to bracelets. You can add color and spunk to any outfit with accessories. Make sure that they match and they don't feel uncomfortable.

6. Do not spend tons of money of one item of clothing. You could always find something very similar to it for less money!

7. Wear an outfit totally different then anybody else would. Mix match patterns and colors or maybe try leggings and a long shirt. Whatever it is make sure people would want to follow that trend.

8. Remember you can be stylish and hip as long as you follow my expert tips. Trust me,they work.
