Ok. So we don’t have a lot of money and as talented as I believe I am when it comes to art and creativity I just don’t want to flop, you know? So I don’t want to go out and pull out a small business loan or anything like that. I’m going to sell online and make the clothes at home. I think they’re going to be awesome. Really trendy and new. I can’t decide on how much to spend! I found TONS of fabric I love and I don’t know how often they come and go or if I’ll ever see the same thing twice. What if I buy something in particuar and people LOVE it? So I guess I don’t know how many yards to buy because I don’t know how many outfits I should start out with… Any experience out there or input or advice or even just an incoherent mumble? :-)
You can sell them on etsy.com its a place where you can sell handmade stuff.

Good luck :)

I’m a plus size girl myself who typically wears an XL or XXL (they differ in each store) and it’s already hard enough for me to find cute trendy clothes for a decent price in my size as it is! I have a few peers at my school that are much bigger than me (not trying to be mean) who seem to wear 3XL+ clothing, but have CUTER, way more flattering clothes than I do! I asked them where they shopped and they said…Aeropostal (even tho I’ve never seen them wear not one single item from the store), Dereon, Baby Phat, Charlotte Russe (even I can’t really fit their clothes).

So where could they possibly buy their clothes from? A trendy, cute place with plus size clothes…hmmm…
torrid is not cheap
curvy girls are beautiful ;D I’m losing weight to become less curvy, but I’m still gonna try to hang on to these awesome curvy hips I have~ haha

I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m very positive that a girl who is 3XL+ does NOT shop at Aero or any of those other stores. I myself am a curvy girl, normally wearing L or XL shirts (sometimes XXL too, depending on the store and type of shirt I’m purchasing), and I definitely have a hard time finding clothes in those stores.

I personally like to shop at JCPenney, because even being a curvy girl I can still wear most of the juniors shirts in XL or XXL, depending on the style. Then I go to the women’s and buy jeans. I just look as hard as I can for cute jeans. I would also recommend Lane Bryant (they *ocassionally* have cute clothes, it depends what your local store is like). I love Dillard’s too. Department stores are good. Even American Eagle occassionally has tops I can wear (not jeans though lol).

Hmm, where else? Cato! I LOVE that store. I always find cute clothes there. Check it out.

I definitely know how you feel though. It’s difficult being a plus size girl, but remember these 2 things - 1) Be THANKFUL for your curves! Guys I know love girls with a butt and more curves rather than a skinny toothpick! and 2) It is not impossible to find cute, flattering clothes even if you are not a size 2, or even a 16!

I hope I helped you out. I realize that you didn’t exactly ask where you should shop at, but I thought I’d tell you anyway where you can find cute clothes even as a plus size girl. Maybe some of those girls shop at those places too!

actually I want to look my age because everyone says I look older. I am 13 years old and in 8th grade. frequently I get mistaken for being in college or high school. and once I got asked if that kid in my lap is mine (I was babysitting my cousin’s baby in a ski lodge while she was skiing). Someone thought I was my dad’s wife once. I also get hit on by guys way too old for me. Its awkward and I would really like to look my age.
I try to stay away from trendy clothes (meaning I don’t wear abercrombie and fitch or aeropostale) and I always wear make-up. I am tall but never wear heels unless with a dress and I rarely wear those.
So any ideas?? I would really appreciate it :) my make up is natural ish for the most part. light, neutral shadow, thin top lid only liner, and little mascara. hint of foundation and no lipstick or gloss

Try wearing your hair in pigtails or braids. Also don’t wear much makeup, try to keep it a natural look. If you have bigger boobs try wearing a sports bra and t-shirts, then your boobs wont look as big so you won’t look as mature. Try looking at pictures of kids your age and mimicking the kind of clothes they wear. Oh, make sure you wear sunscreen too. It will protect your skin and hopefully keep it looking young.

I’m 12 years old so I know what’s stylish in the teen world. But i want other opinon’s of tweens out there. I buy all my clothes from aeropostale,hollister,abercrombie and some clothes from justice.( i only have 2 dresses, a few lacy cami’s and a pair of leggings from there) I have 3 pairs of lacy leggings from Hannah Anderson(the colors are light blue, purple and hot pink) And I have two baby tee’s from walmart( they are grey and black) My jeans are usually from the Gap and I have a few shirts from Old Navy. All theses stores are in style right? (except for walmart but that’s kinda ok for some clothes)
I meant to say tween but i forgot the w and said teen ok?! and I do have skinny jeans. They’re really cool now. I don’t have converese yet but i might get them soon( i either want black or pink im not sure yet) :P @BellBoots517 right back at you! your a huge poser who didn’t help me out at all. :P
Thats fine, but you shouldnt wear whats "in style"
you should wear what you feel comfortable in, what
you think is cute, and what looks good on you.

I am due February 24th. My husband and I opted for our baby’s gender to be a surprise, so we do not know if we are having a boy or a girl! It’s been sort of tough because I have had to buy gender-neutral clothing, toys, etc. Anyways, we haven’t been the coo-coo-baby-name parents…until now! Time is running out and I’ve no idea what to name our child!

We both settled on a brief list of names that we like, but are open to suggestions. In terms of that, we do not like off the wall, made up sounding names like Aidan, Pax, etc. We also do not care for overly trendy names such as Ashley, Lindsay and Emma.

In the case of a daughter:

1. Rory (alternative spellings are options)
2. Zoie(alternative spellings are options)
3. Catrina (similar to my own name, Trina)
4. Blake
5. Sable (family name, no alternative spellings please)
6. Irina
7. Elena (family name, no alternative spellings please)
8. Rebekah (family name, no alternative spellings please)
9. Alisabeth (a nice change from E-lizabeth)
10. Bristol (alternative spellings are options)

If a boy:
1. Michael (family name, no alt. spellings please)
2. Evander (alternative for popular Alexander)
3. Eli (family name, no alt. spellings please)
4. Jack (family name, no alt. spellings please)
5. Trenton (sort of popular, but I love it)
6. Chase (sort of popular, but I love it)
7. Marak (pronounced Mare-eck, love it!)
8. Dawson
9. Fadem
10. Jedadiah

For a girl, I love the names : Rory. but spelled Rorie.. and Blake.
For a boy : Eli, and Jack.
(Jackson, but called Jack is very cute)

I’m sorry, but those are all really hideous. Did you say you were trendy? I know I sound catty, but I just don’t like any of those.

I would like to rename my current resale/consignment/secondhand clothing shop and offer much more selection for Teens (skate brands, preppy stuff and everything cool) and very cool Kids….no baby items in the shop.

I need some suggestions for a great name that is edgy, cool and hip….any ideas?

My ideas so far are:

Fire + Freedom - resale for hip kids
Green Scene - resale for hip kids
Volume - resale for hip kids

Give me more!

When i first started junior high (seventh) i wore baby phat, but i quickly turned to the prep lifestyle. it just seemed like it suited my personality more; bubbly, perky, and conforming. since then i began to wear tank tops mostly everyday, layering everyday, polos, zip up hoodies, abercrombie, hollister, and juicy. me and my friend were joking around with our super hero names: (emo kid and super prep) and i decided i wanted to be known as "super prep: wearing what no prep would wear before!"
i like the urban style and the skater style. but i don’t want to stray too far from my shell. but high school, i want to be able to impress. the way i’d like to be able to describe my wanted style is "cute but practical" and "trendy but out there." I want pieces that people will remember.

Do you know any good (cute & unique) brands? I want my clothes to be from easily reconized brands like abercrombie and baby phat. and more questionable like Pastry shoes and… i can’t think of another brand.

Real Preps Don’t Wear That kiddie Stuff.
They Wear:
J Crew
Ralph Lauren
Etc.

Just Be Yourself And Wear Whatever You Want.It Shouldn’t Matter On What Brand You Wear.

I am going to start selling cloth diapers and diapering accessories that I have made. And a friend is going to go start selling somethings she has made (bibs, pacifier and sippy cup holders and some baby clothes) as well and we want to start a website to be able to sell our items. But we don’t know what to name it or what to call the diapers.
Any ideas would be appreciated. We are looking for something cute. She was thinking of Trendy Tots but it is already taken of course.
