I'v moved to the USA lastweek.I just dont know what to wear in highschool. Pls help!?

Question

I am 14, female, moved from Vietnam to the USA last week. I dont know what to wear in High School. Should I use my glasses or buy contact lens? If contact lens, so what color is suitable for an asian girl like me? Should I dye my hair? Should I wear make-up? I am now living in Titusville, Florida, so where should I go shopping for low prices? Do you want to make friends with me? :)

Answer 1

well how bout u go to the mall and checkout some stores and get a magazine to help u no wat to pick out ! you'll look great even with ur regular clothes

Answer 2

If you go to school this concerned about what you are wearing and how you look, you'll never be happy. Where whatever you are comfortable in, regardless of what the stupid people say. I didn't and still don't really wear make-up, mostly because I'm conceited and don't think I need it, but it helped that the guys on the (American style) football team said that girls looked better without that crap. You should go around school the first few weeks, after you've made friends who like you for who you are, not what style clothes you wear, then decide if you want to wear what the others are wearing or dye your hair, or wear contacts of different colors. Wait and See! Another thing, a lot of girls look really good in glasses. Very few people see them as nerdy these days. So, my real advice is for you to relax.

Answer 3

I have poor vision, too, and I LOVE contact lenses! They are comfortable and easy to deal with. You could still wear glasses, or switch between the two once in a while. If you get them, though, don't change colors... just get the normal ones.

Do not dye your hair. If you are Vietnamese, I am sure it is shiny, black and beautiful. Leave it the way it is. Everyone will be jealous of how natural and healthy it is, even if they say otherwise. Dyeing it and highlighting it just robs it of it's health.

For makeup, don't cake it on! Wear a little blush or something if it is something you are comfortable with and you want a little color, but you probably don't need too. Definitely don't do it if it's not who you are.

Find a friend to go shopping with and pick out together what you think is cute. I don't know what kinds of stores Florida has to offer but you could look at websites to get some ideas for what's trendy and priced low.

Good luck!

Answer 4

In Titusville you are in the heart of Central Florida surf culture. Find out if your school has a dress code, but honestly you can't go wrong with t-shirts and jeans. The area is not big on make up, the lifestyle is very casual and natural, being comfortable is the most important thing. Contacts are okay, because then you can wear sunglasses and still see everything, otherwise I'd get regular glasses with tinting. Don't dye your hair.

Of course, you need to go down to Cocoa Beach and get at least one t-shirt from Ron Jon's Surf Shop at 520 & A1A.

Answer 5

Alright first things first. I would suggest that if you have never worn contact lenses, that you start before you actually get to school. Get used to it. I personally love contact lenses and can't imsagine not wearing them, but I know a lot of people do wear glasses. Wear whatever is more comfortable for you. If you do get contacts, have some fun with them. Get a different color like green or violet. I wouldn't dye your hair but I think that streaks of color look really good on asian hair. I'm not asian, but I have very dark colored hair and I have a fuschia streak in my bangs. Get some funky color in it, but don't completely dye it. As for the clothes, most days I would suggest wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Don't get really high rise jeans. Try low rise or hip-huggers. Get a t-shirt with something funny or interesting written on it. On the first day of school, I would suggest wearing something pretty and feminine. Maybe a prarie skirt and a tank top. Don't dress too conservatively. I wouldn't wear too much makeup, but I personally think that lipgloss is a must.
Before you get to school, I would look through some teen fashion magazines like Cosmogirl, Seventee, Teen, Teen Vogue, etc. and get some ideas from that.
I don't know what the current style in florida is, but you can never go wrong with jeans, a t-shirt (not too loose or too tight), and flip-flops. I have no clue what your body type is so I can't advise you anymore than that. I'm not from florida; I'm from Illinois, cause otherwise I would help you. I think you are going to be going into 8th grade so you are the same age as my cousin...i'm in high school, but if you'd like you can always shoot me an email and I'll help you out if you need anything.

Answer 6

Contact lenses would be great, but glasses aren't bad either. If you get contacts stay with your normal eye color. You don't want your eyes to look fake. Also, if you wear glasses buy frames that are suitable for your face and give it shape. You can switch off in between. I think it's cute when girls wear both lenses and glasses.

Only color your hair if you want to. Go to school and see what the other girls are wearing and even ask for some advice. It's hard to tell without seeing you. But I think if you have really dark hair I think adding some red would really punk it out.

Wear make-up only if you want to. Not because you think you're supposed to. Girls that don't have wear make-up are naturally gorgeous which isn't fair! haha. But if you want to try shopping at Wal-Mart or Target. When you make some new friends have them help you. That's the best way to do it.

Tip on Make-Up: Less is More. Go easy on it and make it look natural. Good luck!

Answer 7

Ok.
Keep your hair color the same, but get it cut. Ask to have it layered.
As for clothes, jeans are always in style. Wear jeans with flip flops or sandals and a cute T shirt.

Shoes: Converse are a little bit on the expensive side, but they are very popular and go great with everything.
Also, get youself some cute Flip Flop sandles

Many different shirts are in style. Baby-doll tshirts are very cute, and layering tops is a must. Get a cami(an undershirt) and layer it underneath another shortsleave top.

For skirts, mini skirts are cute, with capri leggings undernneath. Capris are in style. as are shorts.

Just use your glasses, or if you do use contacts, just keep the same eye color because you don't want it to look unnatural.

Make up: You should at least wear a little bit.
Eyeshadow; put on a little bit of shimmery pink or white on the lids of your eyes.
Blush: i dn't usually like wearing it for daytime.
Lips: Put on a little bit of light pink or light coral lipstick, and then apply some lip gloss on over it.

For low priced shopping places, i'd say go to Target. They have many cute and instyle clothing for very cheap.
For something a little bit more expensive but reasonably priced, you can check on line for these cool stores:

forever 21

Hollister-this is a little bit more expensive, but their clothes are very popular and very pretty

Tilly's

Gap

Old Navy

Get some fashion magazines at grocery stores.
Teen People,
and Seventeen are very good to get ideas.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

buy contacts it makes a way better impression, but glasses are cool too. the color should be what u feel comfortable with cause its u whos gonna wear them. dont dye ur hair cause u shouldnt change everything about u. wear whatever u want! try different things. go to the mall and check out the stores . most stores have the latest styles. try on makeup and see which looks good on u and most importantly be urself! :)

Answer 9

Your glasses will be fine, although you may decide to go to contacts later. Since you're in Florida, I'd recommend wearing a skirt for the summer weather - make sure it's not too short, or they'll make you go home and change! A nice top (no belly showing, that's also against the rules in most schools) and a pair of flats or sandals, and you're set!

Answer 10

Clothing wise, you can probably wear whatever you wore in Vietnam and be fine. Go to the mall, that is a good idea of what people are wearing.
Glasses vs. contacts, whichever you feel comfortable in. People don't know which you wear normally, and that is one of their last concerns. If you do contacts, show off your natural eye color. Let people notice you for you, not what you try making yourself to be.
If you want to dye your hair, go ahead, but as I said before, be yourself, not something else.
If you don't have blemishes to cover up, don't wear makeup.

Welcome to the US. Good luck. :-)

Answer 11

OK...so moving is a big deal, especially if your from a diffrernt country..... check out what other people are wearing at school, but you definatly dont want to be just another girl at high school....you should be the "new girl" that everyone wants to meet and know...so be a little different and dress like you know what your doing but yet your not just every other girl....shop at vintage stores...you find the cutest and most intresting things at those kinda stores.
