how do i achieve this look?

pair the skinny jeans with some hotttt black boots and a baby doll tee

or tank

...you wear skinny jeans, a checkered hoodie, and carry an iPod. Not hard.

As cheesy as this will sound, the most important thing is to be yourself, and, as such, dress like yourself. Think about it for a minute - if you truly, honestly feel that the look is you, go for it. But don't fall victim to a fad that you don't feel is truly you. I understand wanting a new look and all, but don't copy what everyone else has.

Unfortunately, if you've got that look going, it'll be hard NOT to seem emo at first glance. People that know you will know better, but looks do play a big part in first impressions. Keep that in mind.

I tried to get the same look and it worked. I paired either a black ballet flat or those Vans checkered slip-ons with either a pastel skinny jean with a dark top or the other way around, a dark skinny jean with a bright top. I also put in pink streaks in my hair. If you do that though, just make sure the color goes with everything, so there's not a harsh clash. Mine very very subtle, but still noticable. You could use a black headband or some chunky jewelry for accessories. You could also use pearls to add a girlier look to an edgier outfit. Good Luck!

Well if you haven't really changed you can't fake it!

If you feel like you just need a fashion update go for it though! You seem like you know how you want to dress so go for what you feel like is right.

I think its easier to gradually change your style. Don't look like it just happned overnight.

Mix some of your older fahsions with what you want your newer style to be. That way you don't seem too forced.

And it sounds like you're going for the emo/indie rocker look... I notice a lot of messy hair, skinny jeans, and flats. I hate to say it but check out Hot Topic for some inspiration. Other good stores would be Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Delias and your favorite celebs

so just dont wear too much black...

i kinda have the same story

cause i used to be a preppy girly girl but now im getting skinny jeans and vans and brands from the stores tillys and pac sun

but dont wear a lot of black or dark make up either cause doing that will really make people think that you are emo even though you arent

hope this helps

I know what you mean by trying to look "Different" and I think everyone want's to look different once in a while. Just dress how ever you want with those skinny jeans. Just be yourself and don't act different just because you want to look different then no body will think your emo. I personally think that look is really cute on basically any girl. So it should look really cute. =)

What kind of music do you listen to?...if your are seen as emo tell the people that think that to ***** right off. they have no idea of what there talking about. i often get mistaken for an emo so i would know. i often ask them what an emo is and they often give my the COMPLETE wrong deffinition.well anyway if you listen to good music...aka NOT RAP AND OR POP.....no 50 cent no rianna..but good indie bands or sceaming music try being scene.....there often mistaken for emo but are clearly not to most because of the excessive use of bright colors. you will be called emo by only the dumbist people in your school. most likely there biggest enemys gangster kids that think there so (and i quote) "G" but yes try being scene.....

theres a store called forever 21 if you've ever heard of it. they have a lof of cute, unique shirts and stuff. my suggestion to you, to not seem fake, is to wear what you usually wear. but throw in the skinny jeans, and maybe a cute different cardigan to dress up your look. you can update your style without seeming fake. just dont copy other people you know because then you will be fake! hope this helps!

The most important thing to remember is to have an un-emo attitude. If you don't want to dress emo, add a lot of bright accesories and colors to your outfits.

When you wear the skinny jeans,hoodie,etc. make sure there is some pink so they don't think you are preppy or emo just in the middle.Also you could wear some flats,big necklaces,bangles,a lot of accesories.

Get some confidence, so you won't need to be "that girl", and so that you will be happy being yourself. Clothes don't wear the person, the person wears the clothes. If you wanna show people you have changed, then you must not care if you have changed, because before you cared about how people would see you if you changed.

It makes sense if you think about it or something.
