lucylinda Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 ok, i have a big problem. I'm a fifteen year old girl who is really intereste in fashion etc and I think I dress well for what I want and I feel good in what I wear. BUt I am short, annoyingly thin and always always look like I'm 12 or 13. I've tried eye make-up, older clothes, straightened hair.. everything and it still happens to me! Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I don't even get asked for ID when I ask for a childs ticket at the movies! Most people my age are getting into R16's etc... It sounds really silly to you, but it's such a huge problem and I just don't like always looking so young. My hairdresser asked me what primary school I went too... I can't get a job because I look too young! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defying_gravity Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 ok well...chicken fillets may help also...makeup...r u blonde? if u are perhaps get ur eyebrows tinted and always wear mascara and eyeliner and a bit of bronzer on ur cheekbones. flip through a few fashion magazines...things like shirt dresses with tan leather accessories are always hot and a bit more of a mature style but still not old. but theres nothing wrong with looking young! i know its annoying getting carded but enjoy it while it lasts! xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Have you tried wedge heel boots? They make you a bit taller, aren't necessarily something a 12 year old would wear, and they're casual enough not to be considered heels. They're very popular here right now, and you can use them with both jeans and skirts/dresses. http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProd...020&d=Shoes http://www.bianco.com/collections/product_...45d6ab3c59fdb94 http://www.bianco.com/collections/product_...45d6ab3c59fdb94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucylinda Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks for all the help guys! I'll definately try those boots come winter time, they look good thanks Eli! I'm just going to try a few different things.. Btw, I'm not blonde, light brown though. Bronzer's also a good idea Many thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenlee Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I sort of have a similar problem but not really. After being skinny for most of my life I have now grown into my 'woman' body and I'm a size 14/16, which is ok but my friends are all size 10/12. I'm rather tall so I don't look as big as I am but I find it difficult being with them on saturday nights when we're all done up, ready to go clubbing as I begin to feel like a freakin giant (my friends are also short). Anyway, I excersize an hour a day and I eat well, so I'm not here to have a bitch about my weight lol. Just after some advice on what kind of clothes would be good for looking slimmer. Obviously anything black and that is what I have stuck to mostly but I miss wearing bright colours. So any advice anyone has on what style tops, pants, jeans, skirts, etc would be awesome I'm open to all suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm no expert, but I'll share what I know. First of all, avoid yellow, especially if you're gonna be in photographs. Green works like black, makes you look smaller/slimmer, just like yellow works like white and can make you look larger. Also I would avoid stripes. I know some stripes can make you look slimmer, but that's only if you use it 100% correctly to your advantage, which I honestly don't think a lot of people get right. Generally colder tones (blue, green) work better than warm tones (red, yellow, orange). Another trick is to try using clothes that are a little loose, but at the same time gives you a waistline. A tunic always works well, and if you wanna spice up the outfit a little and make your figure look better at the same time, wearing a basic tank top under can work wonders, and also make a clevage work with a tunic without looking trashy. High heels generally makes you look slimmer. I'm 5'8, so I hardly ever wear high heels because that would make me the same height as many of my male friends, but even medium heels will have a good effect. I use boots similar to the ones I linked to in my last post because they work almost no matter how tall you are. As for pants: straight leg or skinny! And if you don't feel comfortable wearing skinny jeans, try them with heels (like the boots I mentioned) before you make up your mind. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
