Hair: Many girls wear their hair in a messy bun with one of those skinny headbands. If your hair is short or layered, and pieces fall out when you make a ponytail, use colored barrettes instead of a headband (they’re cute, and give you that nice,unique look). Nails: If nail polish is allowed, don’t be afraid to use different colors like neons or sparkly polishes. Little details like your nails can show people your personality so be creative! If you just want a clean-cut, pretty look, you can try french tips (on your own if they’re long enough or fake nails) or clear polish. Shoes: In private schools, there are usually rules about shoes. Usually, they have to be dress shoes and/or be a certain color. If there are no rules about shoes, wear cute ones like uggs. Ballet flats are always cute. White vans are great as well, even though many people have them. You might be allowed to wear high heels. If you can, don’t wear really tall ones and only wear heels in high school, otherwise you’re just going to look weird. If you can, wear Toms. They are for a good cause, make you seem nice and giving, and are super cute. Also, Sperrys are cute too. You might think they’re just for preppies but they’re not. If your school allows it, get the ones with your favorite colors and patterns on the side. Also, try to wear colors that match your uniform. For example, if you wear a navy and green plaid skirt, wear navy or green shoes. Make up: Do not go overboard on the make up; natural make up looks casual and pretty! Just make sure it looks natural and enhance your natural beauty. A bit of concealer, face powder, light blush or bronzer, thin eyeliner on top eyelash line, mascara and a very light lipstick - if you apply these things lightly, it will make your face look really pretty and not fake or caked on. Less is more.
