what's a good budget for back to school clothes shopping?
hello!! :) so first of all i am a 14 almost 15 year old girl going into freshman year next year and i reallllyyy want some cute new clothes for starting high school. my parents hardly EVER buy me clothes, besides shoes and a winter jacket. and i mean, my parents are definately not rich. but not poor either. we are pretty average. (3 1/2 bedroom house, 2 cars, public school, and my parents are always very considerate before buying something.) we have some periods of time when we have to cut back on spending completely untill we can save a little. other than that, we live pretty well. so. my question is WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE A GOOD SPENDING BUDGET FOR BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING? IF YOU ARE A TEEN, THEN DO YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF BUDGET? :) AND HOW SHOULD I GO ABOUT CONVINCING MY PARENTS? THANKS! XOXO
p.s. (not trying to come across as shouting up there, just wanted to high light the main question) ;)

1. Try getting a job to get more money. Something simple, like bagging stuff at Safeway.
2. Buy only what you need. Also, try accessories, like headbands, brooches, pins, iron on patches, clips, barrettes
3. About $50-$150 should do for the stuff you need.

I just graduated from high school, and I would usually spend about $200 on back to school clothes every year. But it all depends on where you shop and how many clothes you like to have. But I also had my own job all through high school, so I was able to buy them myself.

School supplies for me usually runs around $40.00 - $60.00. I would say that considering other school related fees, a good clothing budget would be about $120.00.
