As a teenager you're always growing, and therefore you "outgrow" clothes and shoes yearly. Why spend so much on these items that need to be replaced so often? What kind of things should you invest in? I'll answer all your questions with 5 simple tips on how to spend money efficiently!
1) Don't spend a ton of money on shoes. Although you can make smaller shirts, dresses, skirts, etc. work you can't really use shoes that are too small.
2) If you want to choose one thing to invest in, make it accessories. This means jewelry, bags, wallets, scarves, etc.
3) Although there is a saying "quality over quantity" remember that because you're growing you're going to need more clothes, so choose cheaper brands, but do remember the quality is still very important!!
4) Make sure that when you buy things you have an outfit idea in your head, so that you don't buy something and never wear it.
5) Make sure you are buying for seasons! Don't buy something for summer in fall, because you may grow before that season comes :)
I hope these tips help you with your buying!! ENJOY YOUR DAYY

Helpful Apps!
HI EVERYONE!
I was going to make this post about complimenting your outfit with makeup... but as I was doing a little bit of research I found an amazing app! I thought about how great it would be to share some great apps, that I tried out, with you guys instead :) So here we go:
1) To begin.. the most important app, that most of us always forget!
The Weather Channel
Even though this isn't directly fashion related, how would we choose our outfits without knowing what we should dress for? The Weather Channel App allows you to see an hourly report, so even if it's sunny in the morning, you'll know if it'll rain later!
2) The Color Genius (application by Loreal)
This was the application I found while doing research for what makeup goes with which outfits :) This application actually allows you to take a picture of your outfit, choose your color palette, and match, blend or clash your makeup with your outfit. They'll give you eyeshadow, lip color and nail polish. The only problem is they're all from the Loreal brand.. but I think it's really easy to just take the colors from what they give you, and not the products.
3) Trendstop
This app informs you (DAILY) on the latest fashion trends! Even though I think you shouldn't just go with the trends, it's always good to know what's "in", and this app helps you with that.
4) Closet Lite
This app allows you to plan out outfits on a calendar.. it's more of an organization app, but I think it's very helpful, so that you don't have to waste time planning an outfit every morning!
5) Glamour Fast Beauty
This app shows you how to do/complete different makeup looks and more! I found that the video instruction was very helpful, and it let's you put the products you see and want on your "wishlist".. it's a hard application to explain because it has a lot of features, but if you're looking for makeup/nails instruction, advice and/or products you should definitely check out this app!
6) OPI
This app is pretty self explanitory. It lets you see all the OPI nail colors, and collections. You can also search colors. The reason I like this app so much, is that it allows you to see all the OPI colors in one central place... and organized. I really recommend this app for all you nailpolish/OPI fanatics :)
These are all of my favorite apps! I didn't include any online community/interaction apps just because I personally don't really like those types of apps, I find them a little bit creepy.. but if you'd all like me to do a post about applications that allow you to get other member's feedback, I could definitely do so! :D :D I hope this was very helpful, and enjoy the rest of your day!

Easy Summer Styles: Fringing
Fringing is one of the easiest things you can do to a t-shirt! It's really simple + FREE :D It can turn any plain or boring top into a cool summer shirt. Here's how you do it:
1) Take any top (preferably one that's too long for you):
2) Get a pair of scissors, make sure they're sharp enough to cut through two layers of tshirt fabric :)
3) Begin cutting slits (the height of how long you'd like your fringe to be) from the bottom of the t-shirt:
4) When you've cut all the strips, one by one (MAKE SURE TO SEPERATE THE BACK AND FRONT LAYER) twist each strip and tie a knot at the bottom. Your final product should look somewhat like this:
ENJOY YOUR SHIRT! :D My first time making a fringe top, it didn't turn out perfectly, but the more you practice you'll find what length you like your fringes, if you like to cut v-necks, etc.
