| Question: |
Hello Experts,
I have a problem, there is this guy I really like in school and he never notices me. I was thinking I need a whole new look, something trendy and cute. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe some main pieces I should start of with? I also don't really like my butt, and wonder how I can work around it?
Thanks, Jillian, WA

Attention: Updated look for attracting much desereved
attention and less emphasis on booty.
Hey! First of all, you don't want to hide
problem areas, but emphasize your favorite features!
Try to really put attention into your best assests!
To minimize hiney holdbacks, try tying sweaters or
those cute little jackets around your waist. This
will cover up that area that you don't want to take
over your spotlight!
Also, try loose fitting jeans.
They will give you more room to experiement with. And
jean bibs are great too!!!
New trendy items to try:
3/4 length sleeves
eather pants, skirts, jumpers
clingy pants----black or khaki
bright colors----orange, purple, pink
tech vests
Whatever makes you feel pretty, is the best thing to wear!
Till next time, keep steppin' in style!

Jillian,
To meet this guy, you'll wanna corner him when you look
your BEST!
Perhaps
this will be at a party or something. Probably something casual
is your
best bet. You don't want to scare him away by looking really
glammed up.
Jeans can really make you look hot.
If you hate your butt, there
are pairs
that can make you look absolutely great in da booty. I have some
Lucky brand
jeans that make mine look pretty good (my boyfriend is my
advisor) so I
reccomend them, but they are many other kinds to wear.
So if you
are at this
party and HE is there, you'll wanna have on a top that just
makes you look
All That. A really cute shirt with a 3/4 lenght sleeve shirt
over the top
would look really hot. Get the colors to match up and go for a
general
theme. Like a red long sleeve shirt, then put a 3/4 sleeve shirt over
it that has
reds and whites. This kind of thing is really going to be popular if it isn't already in your town.
You'll wanna put on a big smile for him, guys find that
attractive! :-)
Good luck!

Supa soul sistahhhh, you were thinkin wrong!
The way to get noticed is not just by your "look"..but by your confidence, the way you carry yourself.
You gotta feel sexy and sassy inside--remember, you are 100% pure woman!!
Getting in synch with this powerful vibe will help you eminate it outside yourself-you start within and then move outwards. To avoid the "caboose" issue, a-line skirts and knee-high boots will keep the attention away. For tops go for flirty lycra/spandex hoodies or bright scoop neck tees with an extra short waisted cardigan to accentuate your waist and neck.Try soulful colors like blues and purples and piece them with bright orangeor bright blue. Try and strut your womanliness inside and out. Good Luck

Hello confused,
First off, let me tell you that it is NOT worth changing yourself in order to please a guy. (Trust me, this comes from pure experience!)
Anyway, if you want to change your style, do it for yourself, no one else.
Next, even though you may not like your butt, you must remember not to wear baggy, loose clothing to cover it. That would only emphasize you gluteus maximus.
As for must-have pieces, I think you should go for some of those three-quarter length fitted button down shirts. They would look great with some shorter skirts (bringing attention away from your butt).
Also, if you want to go for a sweet, innocent look, pink always looks great.
And remember, (of course) to get some accessories - like some small dangle bracelets (very feminine) and some cute barrettes to go with your must-have wardrobe.
After all this advice, please remember to STAY YOURSELF. If a guy can't admire you for being you, he's not worth your precious time.

Jillian,
First things first, It may not be that he doesn't notice
you. It may just
be that he notices your style and your cute self, but you have
no clue!
So,
we don't want to make a drastic change quite yet. Start off
simple, maybe
kick it off with a new hair style or hair cut. Something that
will draw the
attention of all your friends...and in the mist of their
commotion and
compliments...he'll happen to overhear and take a look for
himself. You're
looking for a cute and trendy statement.
Basically, If you want
to get his
immediate attention you'll have to enter the levels of skirts
and short
skirts. Most of the
skirts I've seen
floating around are either short with cute pockets or longer
skirts with
funky cuts and strings. Tops are clingy and sleek. You'll find
most of your
tops in different cuts and such. Your best bet is to find the
style that
coordinates with your preference and take it from there. The
common colors
this fall are dark reds, oranges, yellows, purples, greys, and
blues. Pick
out a favorite color or one that brings out your eyes.
To hide that tush, try finding bottom pieces in
darker
colors. Make sure they are also slim and loosely cut. Darker
colors have a
miracle slimming effect, and slim, loose cut items seem to hide
your bum
pretty well. Lastly, when you're trying on various
items....check your tush
in a mirror, or have a friend do it. Make sure you like what you
see before
you buy it, and make sure it makes that "butt look cute!" Good
luck
girlie...and if all else fails...Just Be Jillian.
FJ,

Sweetie:
Remember, the most important thing is to choose clothes that are
you- if
your not the
outrageous type, don't go too outrageous, or you will be
uncomfortable and
lose
confidence.
I personally think that some of the most trendy
colours are
brown and
black- they make you look and feel really sophisticated and a
few of the
right
accessories can make you fun! Some hair clips (chunky and
colourful) are
pretty cool,
and layering looks really funky- flares over patterned skirt
with a cute
little top. Can
be worn with any shoes- from Doc martins to platform sandals.
As
for your
butt, all
girls are butt-conscious. Black is very slimming, and also makes
you appear
really
curvy if used with the right colour combos (eg. black and red )
Always keep
in mind
who you are and what you'll be doing in the clothes- dresses are
fine as
long as you
aren't playing grid-iron!
The last thing- don't lose your identity for a guy- have fun, be
yourself,
and if he
doesn't like you for who you are, he's probably just a parasitic
jerk! Be
beautiful,
funny, sweet and intelligent (no guy can resist a funny
intelligent girl!)
Good Luck, Sweetie!

Sarah- Preppy Expert
Well Jill,
My first response to this is that you should
definetly NOT
change your whole look just to get the attention of some guy!!
That's
ridiculous. Maybe adding a few new additions would make you
feel more
confident but there's no reason to re-make yourself just to
impress. Your
personality will win him over more than what latest trend you're
sporting.
Wear something that flatters you. If you have great eyes
then try to
highlight them by wearing a color that brings them out. If you
have great
legs then find a cute skirt or stylish dress to show them off.
If you plan
on completly changing your wardrobe then try and save yourself
some cash by
getting a few basics that can be combined to make a number of
different
ensembles.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in
what you're
wearing. Don't try to dress in something that totally makes you
feel
self-conscious or is totally not your thing. Chances are you'll
end up
looking ridiculous and defeating your whole purpose.
As far as covering up your butt, dresses and skirts can
always help.
Don't wear one that is way to tight. Here's an example: Find a
soft floral
skirt, the length is up to you. Pair it with a matching shirt
with 3/4
length sleeves. To complete the look, try a dark denim jacket
and maybe a
pair of white sneakers or casual sandals. Try and wear a
neutral color on
the bottom. Play up your legs with a short skirt or your upper
body with
bright distracting colors, designs, or pattern in order to draw
attention
away from your not so favorite lower region.
Good Luck,
--Sarah

Megan- Sporty Expert
Dear Jillian,
I am so glad that you have finally decided that you are ready to
be noticed, and I think I can help you out a little bit with some
main pieces.
First of all, don't go out and buy the first trendy
thing you see, because trends fade fast.
If you really want to be
noticed try wearing bold colors, like RED. Red gets you noticed
real fast. Also you might try a new dress, that you think
flatters your figue. Also, orange and grey are in this season, and they
go great together!
As for your behind, you should definitly stay
away from big or extrememly small back pockets in your jeans.
They both draw attention to the "bootie." So, you might want to try some
looser fitting pants, with no pockets.
Skirts seem to flatter
the behind, and as long as they aren't too tight. Above all, buy
clothes that fit! There's nothing worse then a pair of size 8
jeans when you really wear a 12. And one more thing to remember,
you are a diva! The best way to get noticed,is to strike up a
conversation.
Hope I helped,
--Megan
