School uniforms and dress codes are no fun when all you want to do is look unique! J-14 reader Ariana is totally dealing with that right now, and we bet a lot of you are figuring out how you can look stylish at school despite all those rules, too! Luckily Greek's Amber Stevens, J-14's fashion guru, is here to teach you some style tricksshe learned back in her H.S. days when dealing with the same probs! Check out her advice below, and don't forget to check back next week for her last piece of fashion advice (tear!).

Hi Amber!

I am going to high school, and we can't add colored shoelaces, headbands, or flats to our school uniforms. What should I do to look unique but not break the rules?

- Ariana

Ariana, try some fun hairstyles and colorful make-up. Also, if jewelry is allowed, find a bold watch and some cute studded earrings. Stay subtle though -- no need to go overboard to just stand out!

<3,
Amber

What do you do to dress up a school uniform but not break the rules? What are your fave ways to look unique at school but still work with your school's dress codes?

I USUALLY WEAR KNEE SOCKS.

AND INSTEAD OF A REGULAR SWEATER TO SCHOOL, I WEAR VESTS.

AND WEAR LITTLE BANGLES, NOT GIANT ONES.

I HOPE EVERYONE TAKE THIS ADVICE.

AND LOOKS FABULOUS FOR SCHOOL!!!

Neon colors are in and so r skinny jeans

emilyrocks on August 23, 2009 12:14 PM

i wear cool shoes or do my hair really cool. my dress code is really strict cuz we have to wear navy, white, burgundy, hunter green, or light blue polos, and khaki, navy or white pants, shorts or skirts. you can also wear jumpers but no one does. so that is what i do to stand out.

I just went to khol's and they have CUTE clothes and they're pretty cheap! everything i bought was school appropiate also. last year i went trendy but this year im going a little plainer cuz well it's school! try shirts that have basic colors with skinny jeans and capris! and dnt get big necklaces get tiny ones they look good with cute shirts! and big rings are cute to. btw flats are so in!
if anybody is looking for stores to get cute stuff i have some recommendations that you might find helpful!
1. khols
2. jcpenny
3. wet seal
4. macys
5. walmart look at miley's new line! super cute!
6. sears look at selena's stuff it's super cute also!
7. pacsun
8. payless shoe stores and famous foot wear
i know some of these stores you might think oh it's the cheapo stuff but TRUST me i thought the same stuff and i just had a shopping spree for school and i bought stuff from every store i mentioned and the total price for it all was less than 150 dollars! also if you've never heard of some of the stores go on their websites! you can have an idea of what they have and if you like what they see go there! use the stores i mentioned and go on their websites! trust me!!
Get cute clothes. it makes going to school even funner than be4!
