I have a new friend, she is so nice, but....
i actually get embarrassed for her when we shop or party together, i turned up the other night, for a night out and she was wearing a pink top, a 3/4 pink skirt (same pink) with a pink beanie, and thick black stockings, and it gets worse.. White joggers/runners with pink stripes. seriously, its like she doesn't even notice she looks odd, none of her other friends say anything either, and its as if no one notices, but they have to, its really bad!!!

usually someone dresses bad not because they have a bad fashion sense, but because they cant see themselves. if you wore the same thing shed know it looks bad, but for someone reason, ppl have this psychological impulse of sorts to wear what they would normally think looks terrible. i suggest shopping with her one day and treat her. maybe buy her an outfit for her birthday while u guys are shopping. u BOTH can pick the stuff out. this is a subtle way of getting her to reality. when she sees the new outfit compared ot her old ones, she will open her eyes to a new world of fashion. remember, its not that she has a bad fashion sense, its cos she cant see herself.

i don't think you should tell her anything. you said that she's a really nice person. that's what matters. i'm sure you wouldn't want to be friends with someone who was stylish in their manner of dress and had no class or personalty. having style and no class creates a shallow person. she can always change her manner of dressing, ( if you're really her friend, you'll except her for who she is) but it's hard to adjust a funky attitude! if she realizes that her dressing needs some fine tuning, be there and give her some tips. other than that, you should leave her alone and enjoy her friendship.
ps i had a friend who lived for fashion. all her money went towards her outward appearance. she judge everyone on their external package. she would tell people what they needed to adjust to make them look better. (in her eyes!!) when we would go out to parties and clubs, (it would be about six of us) she wanted everyone to look the same. she even suggested that two of my girlfriends cut their shoulder length hair to a toni braxton hair cut. (like hers!!) they did it!! i no longer speak to her. she was an empty vessel . she had nothing to offer anyone expect a flashy, glossey smile. learn to value the person and not the package. good luck.

send her emails of celebs wearing nice clothes and just write "look at what she is wearing.. omg it is so fashionable"
and you can do that in school too.. talk with other girls in front of your has-no-sense-of-fashion friend of how Sara "or any other well dressed girl in school" dresses really nice and how you envy herfashion sense...
and when there is a party talk to her as if you are excited and suggest an outfits for her and ask her what does she think that you should wear "just to make her feel that your not trying to force her into wearing what YOU think is nice" e.g. tell her to wear the pink top she has then tell her how it would look awesome with dark skinny jeans ..
then tell her that is how (lindsey lohan, paris hilton, victoria beckham....etc) look would really suite her

I'll never understand the female obsession for fashion. They're just clothes!!! Let people wear what they want to wear instead of forcing them to adhere to some "certain style of dress".
Why are you so concerned about it? Do you think your friend is constantly being embarassed? Obviously not, if she continues to wear such clothing.

just like you said, if you don't judge people by the way they look then isnt it the same that you shouldn't care what people think of you? if they think your bad or sth cus she dresses slutty then your actually thinking badly of her which is not being friends. anyways if thats not possible then maybe take her to some shops and see that actually even if you don't dress slutty its still hot and sexy. try like boarding brands/labels, they have little cloth but it suits the style so it doesnt seem slutty

Nominate her for TLC's What Not To Wear. Being given $5000 to buy a whole new wardrobe will go a long way towards healing any hurt feelings!

Maybe she likes the way she dresses even if it is a little goofy. But if you don't think so just start the conversation by asking her about her style.

You're rude!! You're really not a true friend at all. What is it to you that she dresses that way!! Get a life and quit worrying about her!

Bring it up nicely or in a joking manner... and if she doesn't ask for your help, forget about it and don't mention it again.
If it bothers you so much after that, examine yourself and why you hang out with the people that you do.
