Reader Dilemma: Teenage Fall Wardrobe

Our reader, Audrey said this:

“I have been following Sensibly Styled for about a year now and I love it! I notice that the help given seems really great, so I thought I would share my problem with you. First of all, I need a major wardrobe overhaul. Most things in my closet I never wear because I don’t like them and they just don’t fit my body type. I’m a 14-year-old girl, and I have the “long legs syndrome.” I’m 5′ 5″ and I have trouble finding jeans and pants that are long enough and the waist is big enough (I wear about a size 8.) I also have trouble finding the right combos to make my waist look longer. I want cute, longer shirts to make my waist appear to be longer, and thinner, because I have big hips, but right now I am can’t find those (or the pants). I also really need cute accessories (something you seem to have great taste for) and shoes. Lastly, I really need some fall bags that would look cute on a teenager, because I don’t want to be carrying my huge turquoise tote all fall. I really hope you can help!

Audrey:   I had a lot of fun looking around and trying to imagine what I would want to wear right now if I was 14.   I loved being 14, I thought I was so old and I had so much fun.

However, I would have liked to have SS to help me out with my wardrobe then!

I tried to find things that were on a teenage budget and trendy.   The first place I went for your clothes was Old Navy.  Their clothes fit liberally, they have a lot of sizes and you can pick regular, petite or tall for your items so I thought that would help with your “long leg syndrome”.    Also, longer shirts are in right now, you just have to kind of look around.  ON has a ton but also try hunting online at Forever 21, Wet Seal, Macy’s and American Apparel just to name a few.

I picked this cute and bright blue top I thought would be fab on a 14 year old in high school, and the jewelry I picked is super cheap and adorable!   I thought it would be awesome to stack the bracelets and then add a watch or something.   Don’t forget your scarf!  I think a bright scarf is fashionable and brightens up one’s face. Lastly, I found a unique and darling shoe at target that I thought would look wonderful with your skinny jean.

Hope you enjoy your selection!

Ciao Ciao!  Happy Shopping.

    leggings are a great solution too they don’t have as much fit. H&M is awesome too for cute cheap clothes!
