How to Dress for Spring
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can EditSpring represents renewal and rebirth. The warming weather revitalizes plant life, adding color to the drab outdoors. Dress yourself for the season by adding color and life back into your wardrobe. Start pulling out breezier materials that can keep you cool as the weather warms up.
Steps
Tops Put away your heavy winter fabrics and start dressing yourself in light, colorful tops.- Wear blouses made of lighter fabrics. Light cottons work perfectly for most occasions. Nicer fabrics like chiffon work well for dressier occasions, and lightweight linen makes a nice choice for casual days.
- Look for “flowing” cuts. Blouses with a loose fit and ‘breezy’ feeling pay homage to warmer weather, helping you look stylish and feel comfortable. Loose-fitting garments do not mean oversized or baggy, however.
- Break out your best colors. Pastels and other soft hues work especially well for springtime, but toward the end of the season, you can safely venture into brighter summer colors, as well.
- Look for printed tops. Delicate floral prints look especially nice and pay tribute to the blooming flowers outdoors. Many other prints may also work well, though. Look into polka dots, paisley, and navy stripes.
- Keep up on neutral colors. Spring is all about color, but you need a good stock of neutrals to match things with. Neutral tops also carry over well into other seasons, making them a worthwhile investment.
- Consider a basic cotton polo. Choose a short-sleeve, tailored design in a light color. The polo shirt is a smart wardrobe piece for semi-professional dress and other occasions that require a little more structure in you apparel.
- Start stocking up on tank tops. You can layer them beneath other clothing while the weather is still cool, or wear them on their own if the temperature starts climbing early.
- Keep a supply of short sleeve t-shirts handy. Fitted t-shirts are incredibly versatile. Wear them on days you feel like being casual, or dress them on days you feel like being more stylish.
- Try a shirt tunic. A tunic is a loose-fitting garment that comes down to your mid-thigh. They are often made of cotton or some other lightweight material, making them perfect for spring weather. Choose one with short sleeves or three-quarter-length sleeves to keep yourself feeling cool.
- Keep a light wind-breaker. Wind-breaker jackets are remarkably helpful during the first month or two of the season. They block out the chilly breezes of early spring, and also protect you from light rain. Just make sure you choose one with a hood.
- Consider a stylish trench coat. Trench coats are lightweight, making them suitable for spring weather. The belt that wraps around the waist of the coat flatters a range of figures, and trench coats that come in fun colors and patterns can give your outerwear personality.
- Pull out your raincoat. After all, springtime is known for its showers. A trench coat or wind-breaker may protect you from light sprinkles, but a rain coat is essential for stormy days.
- Stock up on cardigans. Lightweight, fitted cardigans are a nice way to dress up your top while keeping you warm and comfortable. Whites, creams, and pastel colors maintain a delicate, springtime image.
- Think denim. Look for a fitted denim jacket without any interior insulation. The material is already heavy enough to keep you warm on chillier days, and may even prove too heavy once the weather starts warming up.
- Break out the skirts. All the skirts you kept hidden during winter can finally return to their rightful place in your wardrobe. Flouncy A-line skirts in floral patterns work especially well, but many other styles are also suitable.
- Start wearing capri pants. On some days, the weather may feel too warm for long pants yet too cold for shorts. Capri pants bridge the gap by covering the majority of your leg, while exposing just enough to cool you down.
- Wear long pants made of lighter materials. A pair of linen cargo pants can be both practical and stylish. These sorts of pants typically work best in casual settings, but you may be able to find a few that can be used for dressier occasions, as well.
- Don't forget your jeans. Jeans are a style staple for any season. Light and medium washes freshen things up for spring, but you can pull out your favorite dark wash jeans, too.
- Look for a comfortable pair of shorts. Toward the end of the season, the weather may get too hot even for capri pants. A good pair of shorts is essential for days like this. Consider tailored style dress shorts, like Bermudas, that stop just short of the knee.
- Try a maxi-dress. If the weather is just starting to warm up, the maxi dress may help you regulate your body temperature. Breezy cuts and designs keep you from overheating, but the length of the skirt also prevents your legs from getting too cold.
- Wear a knee-length dress. Knee-length dresses are classic and flatter nearly any figure. This length also helps you to stay cool once the weather really starts getting warm.
- Look for bright colors and patterns. Think floral prints and pastel shades like buttercup yellow or sky blue.
- Introduce white into your wardrobe. Nothing looks fresher than white. A nice white sundress is a good basic to incorporate into your spring style. It can be dressed up with sweaters and accessories, or you can play it down as a casual piece by keeping it unadorned.
- Stock up on ballerina flats. Flats can be decorative or simple, and work well with both casual and semi-dressy outfits. They also expose the top of your foot, keeping your foot cool without exposing your toes.
- Pull out your dressy sandals. For nice occasions, consider throwing on that pair of kitten heel sandals you put away for the winter. The warming temperatures bring sandals back into fashion.
- Don a pair of walking sandals. For casual days, a sturdy pair of leather walking sandals looks appropriate and keeps your foot feeling cool.
- Keep a pair of casual white sneakers. Choose a simple slip-on or lace style shoe. These are good to have for everyday use and running errands. White, as opposed to black, navy, or darker colors, works especially well for spring.
- Try an open-toe heel. While not quite as freeing as the heeled sandal, an open-toe heel also pays homage to the warming weather by exposing a part of your foot you would likely keep hidden during winter.
- Consider a pair of galoshes or other rain boots. You can wear nearly any footwear for light drizzles, but you might want something more water-resistant for downpours.
- Buy a cute umbrella. Nothing says you have to lug around a boring, drab umbrella with you on rainy days. Treat your umbrella like an accessory buy choosing one with a fun print or in an unusual shape.
- Get your sunglasses ready. Once the rainy months clear up, prepare yourself for sun. A trendy pair of sunglasses keeps you looking stylish while protecting your eyes from harmful rays.
- Tie a belt around your waist. If you stock your wardrobe up with tunics and other loose-fit blouses, add figure-flattering structure by wrapping a sash or skinny belt around your natural waist.
- Look for light, cool hats. Think lightweight cotton and straw. Look for cute caps, or hats with a wide brim that can block the sunlight.
- Wear colorful jewelry. Introduce a splash of springtime color into blander outfits by wearing bright necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings.
- Buy some nature-inspired jewelry. Look for pendants and charms shaped like flowers, leaves, and feathers. Spring is when nature starts returning to life. Acknowledge this fact by choosing jewelry pieces with a nature theme.
- Keep a pair of leggings for colder days. For chilly days during the early spring, you may want to wear a pair of leggings beneath your A-line skirt or dress to prevent your legs from getting chilly. Leggings also work well beneath many longer tunic shirts.
Tips
- Dress according to the weather. If temperatures are still cold, wear long sleeves or layer your short sleeve pieces with sweaters and jackets. If temperatures get hot early, do not be afraid to break out summer wardrobe pieces early. The versatility of spring fashions is one of the season’s pluses.
- Head bands are a cute way to stop your hair from getting frizzy or wet with sweat.

How to Choose What Color to Wear
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can EditOnce you understand color, it's relatively easy to create a wardrobe where every item makes you look your best and ties in well with each other. It can be extremely rewarding and once you understand which colors suit you, you can start to add in others and still look great!
Steps
Learn What Colors Convey Particularly in the working world, the colors you choose to wear can send a message about the type of you personality you have.- Wear dark colors to convey authority and power. Some dark colors include black and navy blue.
- Wear pastel colors to seem relaxed and friendly. Some pastel colors include light green and light purple.
- Mix colors to convey creativity. Make sure to combine colors that match and compliment each other well, such as purple and red.
- Wear reds for all of your personality traits. Reds tend to vary on the message they send across. Burgundy conveys sophistication, while blue-red conveys assertiveness. An orange-red would be worn by someone who is lively.
- Wear pinks to convey an open heart. People who wear pink, regardless of gender, appear approachable and capable of loving others.
- Wear whites to symbolize a new beginning. Wearing whites can symbolize cleaning and offer a fresh, bright new outlook.
- Wear yellows to display warmth and optimism. This color carries the same healing qualities that are associated with the sun, and are associated with optimism and light.
- Wear oranges to display high energy. Orange is a bold color that can make you feel quite playful. It's also a color that has a great deal of sexual energy to it.
- Wear winter clothes if you're a brunette. Winters are usually brunettes with pale or olive skin. They lean towards deep and rich colors.
- Wear spring clothes if you have pale skin. Springs have pale skin and eyes and either golden or strawberry blonde hair. They look best in bright colors.
- Wear summer clothes if you have blond hair. Summers have blonde hair and pale skin. They lean towards more demure and muted colors.
- Blond hair and blue eyes. Blues, blue-greens, light greens and turquoises are very flattering.
- Blond hair and green eyes. Greens, oranges and blues are cute.
- Blond hair and hazel/brown eyes. Browns, purples, reds, pinks and oranges are ideal.
- Blond hair, gray eyes. Any color except light yellows will look great.
- Brown hair and blue eyes. Reds, oranges, pinks and yellows are nice.
- Brown hair and green eyes. Anything from the above category and green will work.
- Brown hair and hazel/brown eyes. Earth and dark tones and light blues will look good.
- Brown hair and gray eyes. Any shade of blue, purple, black and grays are awesome.
- Red hair and blue/gray eyes. Light oranges, purples, black and green are flattering.
- Red hair and green/hazel/brown eyes. Any shade of purple, dark and light greens, black, and earthy colors are cool.
- Dark hair. You will look good in almost any color!

This video shows you how to use a color wheel to determine what colors to wear.Tips
- Don't worry about what other people might think of your personal. Confidence is the best look on anyone.
- Mix your favorite colors with your best colors. These are often two separate entities. For example, a spring could wear a gray that was not usually her best color if she uplifted it with a warm, jewel green top.
- Clear color leads to much larger contrasts than muted colors. If you are clear, you will have a large contrast between your hair, skin and eyes, and your skin will have a slight translucent quality. If you are muted, however, there will be a less noticeable contrast and you may have some ash tones in your coloring. Your coloring will probably be softer than that of a clear person.
- What's most important with color tends to be what's near your face. If you love bubble-gum pink, but it simply doesn't match your coloration, you can still wear a pink skirt or enjoy pink handbags and shoes.
- Realize no single color is entirely "off-limits" due to your coloring. It often depends on the hue, color make-up, and other aspects of the garment. You might look horrible in a mustard, but radiant in a pastel yellow.
- Take note of the undertones in your skin. Warm skin tones tend to have yellow undertones, while cool ones have blue. These undertones are very subtle and often difficult to see, but if you have quite golden skin or appear sallow, then you are warm. Blue undertones can often be seen as red cheeks or slight ruddiness.
- Try not to be too daring with your color choices. Remember to balance out bolder choices with the right color of eyeshadow and foundation. Just don't go overboard with the colors!
- Not sure if you are a warm or cool coloration? Use the "Gold and Silver Test". In front of a mirror, put a piece of metallic gold fabric or paper near your face, then do the same with a metallic silver piece of fabric or paper. You can see more of a bluish or yellowish tint.
Warnings
- It's okay to have a signature color, but don't wear it all the time. Don't wear all purple if you love it, but rather add purple accents. Also, you want your signature color to stand out, so avoid that being a black or a brown.
- Although many colors can appear to be warm or cool, this describes the undertone, so you should look for this. For example, true red can seem to be a warm color, but it has a blue undertone which gives it its dramatic quality, making it a winter color rather than a spring color.

6 Ways to Be a Normal Good Looking Girl from Inside and Outside
How to Be a Normal Good Looking Girl from Inside and Outside
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit"Pretty is as pretty does," and being a beautiful person involves both maintaining your looks and acting graceful and kind. Here's how:
Steps
Keep Your Hair and Makeup Fresh- Have fun with your hair. Hair can be a great asset when cared for properly but can also detract from your appearance if neglected. Even if you have no time to put it up, make sure it’s brushed and that you have a ponytail holder with you.
- Wash your hair regularly. Gently towel-dry it and let it air-dry as often as possible; blow-drying is hard on your hair.
- Condition your hair to keep it looking healthy and vibrant. Find a formula that works for you; nothing is one-size-fits-all.
- Keep your makeup simple. Of course you want to minimize flaws and accentuate your best features, but don’t pack it on; unnatural makeup makes you look fake. If you want people to think you are real, then be real and look real.
- A touch of base, a hint of blush, a bit of eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara can help bring your face to life.
- To avoid looking like a painted lady, choose colours that compliment your natural colouring.
- Go natural if that’s what feels best to you. Be sure to eat right, drink lots of water, and pamper your skin to make it glow.
- Exercise! Find a way to sweat — yes, really sweat — for 30 minutes at least 3 to 5 times every week. Take a dance class; go jogging or biking; join a hiking club; play tennis, racket ball, soccer, or basketball; walk laps around the block. Do something. It will improve not only your fitness, but also your outlook on life and the world.
- Being fit is always more attractive than not being fit. And don't think you have to be a skinny model to be fit; fitness is about being able to move, breathe, and keep up during a physical activity.
- Exercise is also a secret potion for happiness and well-being, and being happy always makes you more attractive.
- Maintain your personal hygiene. No one likes to be around someone who looks or smells bad. Every morning and night, brush your teeth for 2 minutes. Don't forget to floss; most cavities occur between teeth that are hard to clean with a brush. Wash your hands after using the bathroom, keep your nails clean, shower with soap, and wear antiperspirant.
- A lack of hygiene is a huge red flag for interpersonal relationships; after, if you aren’t willing to take care of yourself, why should anyone else be?
- Wear clean clothes. To be honest, most of your clothes can be worn a few times before being washed, but always remember this rule of thumb: if you don't want it on your nose, don't wear it.
- Pants are not as noticeable as shirts (pretty much all jeans look alike) and can be worn more times in a row than anything else. Just be sure they stay relatively clean and don’t lose their shape; jeans can become stretched out after just a few uses.
- Choose classy, modest styles. Many fashions promote revealing styles that are tight-fitting, attention-grabbing, low-cut, etc. Dressing up every once in a while is part of being young and beautiful, but for everyday stuff, your best bet is attractive, modest, flattering clothes that don’t draw undue attention to your body.
- If you have a nice figure, it will be obvious in modest clothes.
- If attracting a boyfriend is one of your goals, you may be surprised to find out how many men actually prefer it when things are left to the imagination. More importantly, a lot of the guys who want to see women in ridiculous little outfits aren’t the ones you want to be attracting in the first place.
- Wear practical shoes. Don't be that girl who has to sit out of the soccer game because she can't play in her mini-skirt and wedges; it’s much more attractive to be comfortable and to participate. High heels should be reserved for special dress-up occasions. Low heels or pumps can work in many situations if they’re sturdy and comfy. The rest of the time, wear cute athletic shoes, sensible leather lace-ups, or whatever else fits the bill for everyday life.
- Leave the past behind. Whatever's happened before, it's over now. Accept the lessons you've learned, and try to move on. Remember: if you think about it every day, you're still allowing it to control you.
- Seek professional help, if necessary. A counselor or therapist can help you overcome self-confidence issues and be your best self.
- Be confident. Even if you're feeling really down about yourself, act confident. You don't have to pretend to be something you're not, but don't announce to the world you're upset. Stay calm and collected. You will be respected if you show your feelings, but in a confident way.
- Appreciate your uniqueness. You are a beautiful individual with your own personality and talents. Only by appreciating your potential will you be able to nurture your gifts and offer something to the world.
- Maintain your integrity. Don't do anything you might regret later or you’ll lose your self-respect. Not only that, but secrets have a way of getting out -- and when they do, people’s negative judgments of you might poison your own sense of self. Be honest and ethical and, most importantly, have a little backbone!
- Stand up for what’s right. If someone puts you down, be your own knight in shining armor; no one has a right to treat you with disrespect. Do the same if someone else is being abused. Don’t be afraid to stand up -- even if it means standing alone; remember, it only takes one person to make a huge difference.
- Respect yourself and your body. Think twice about drinking liquor, smoking cigarettes, and eating bad food. Illegal drugs should be avoided. And be careful if/when you engage in sexual activity.
- Keep a journal. Write in it as often as you can and you’ll soon discover that it’s worth the time: it’ll not only give you a chance to reflect on your relationships and experiences, but also help you consider who you are and who you want to be. While you’re at it, keep a record of the good things in your life. You may be surprised how blessed you really are.
- If you think it's nerdy or uncool, don't worry; it can be private and no one needs to know you keep it.
- Set goals for yourself. Ride the momentum of all this soul-searching into a better future. Start with one or two goals (ex. lose 10 pounds, make the volleyball team, make the 'A' honour roll, save money and buy new clothes, etc.) and, once you’ve made headway on them, set a few more. Make a habit of knowing what you want and getting it.
- It may help to make a new sheet of paper for each goal and write why you want to do it, how you'll make this happen, and when you’ll have it done by.
- Try new things. Whenever the opportunity arises to do something interesting that you’ve never tried before, seize it! If you get invited to go skiing, accept. If a new ethnic restaurant opens in your area, give it a shot. Experiencing new and different activities will not only make you a more balanced person, but also get you in the habit of becoming a life-long learner.
- Educate yourself as much as possible. Although getting a traditional education should be a first priority, also remember that life is full of learning experiences; you don't have to be in a classroom to acquire knowledge.
- Do your best at school. People look up to smart, active people in the community.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help from teachers and other students. There's no such thing as a stupid question; that's how you learn!
- Read! Read bestsellers, classic literature, how-to manuals, self-help books, and pieces you don’t necessarily agree with. Always carry around a book to read so that you can fill your heart and mind with good things and great ideas.
- Devote 15 to 30 minutes of every day to developing a special talent. This could be playing an instrument, painting, welding, tutoring, cooking, or building miniature wooden space hamsters; the important thing is to have fun while becoming really good at something. Doing this will build your self-confidence and create opportunities to have fun with friends and your future partner.
- Make an extra effort to get to know the people in your world. Learn to enjoy finding out about others by talking to them -- and not just about yourself. The better you understand others, the better you’ll understand yourself.
- Recognize true beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone is beautiful in their own way. Be supportive of other people’s processes; everyone needs help at some point in their life -- and when it’s your turn, people will happily repay your kindness.
- Don’t put others down, tell them they're stupid or ugly, or call attention to their flaws. Everyone has flaws, but by learning to recognize the positive things in others, you’ll be able to appreciate and develop them in yourself.
