STYLE 911: Stay Summer

I see other girls wearing summer dresses to school these days but I would be wayyy too cold. Is there a way I can wear them and be warm at the same time?

Who wants to stash their sassy summer dresses just yet? Not us! Besides, fab florals and all kindsa colors are still hot for autumn, so why buy a whole new wardrobe?

Ya gotta learn to layer to make light jumpers work well for fall. T-shirts, cardis, leggings and boots will all help keep you warm, while still lookin’ cool.

Pulling on a plain tee (long or short sleeve—either will look awesome!) under your dress makes it totally fall-friendly.

Then, you’ve gotta find something to cover up those gams. Great leggings and textured tights are still trendy, but we’re smitten with over-the-knee socks, too.

Piling on a shrug, long cardi or knit vest will help keep the chill out. If your dress has a lot going on, keep your top layer sweet and simple.

Finishing it off with a pair of flat boots keeps it casual, while a pair of retro-cool heels takes it to new heights.

crookshanks121 on 10/7/2008 3:15:48 PM

MOD MOD MOD MOD and GIRLS- I NEED HELP!!

Alright, so two of my friends have bfs, and I'm happy for them. But whenever we go out to do something, they always want to bring them and their bfs, and their bf's friends. I mean, its great because we can all hang out and have fun, but now its too overwhelming. Like, I try to make plans so it's girls only, but then they say, "Oh well, we already made plans to hang out with the boys." I've tried talking to them, and they say, say things like, "Why, you don't want to hang out with them? What's wrong with them?" I've tried to explain to them that that isn't what I mean, and I've tried to explain that to them. I know my some of my other friends feel this way, but we can't talk to them without them assuming and criticizing what we say. Please help!!

hello x beautiful 94 on 10/7/2008 4:16:32 PM

i agree, i really don't like how you have to scroll through them one by one now. i wish they would change it back.

Scarlet_elixir on 10/7/2008 4:22:00 PM

yes i agree w/ capunkturtle too. it reloads the pg everytime! it wouldnt b bad if it did it like automatically and stayed on the pg. idk uk what i mean.... w/e it just annoying

~p0!k@dot95~ on 10/7/2008 4:29:23 PM

crookshanks121, you are so right, this takes SUPER long time on my computer, it's annoying

Ballroomgirl on 10/7/2008 4:37:06 PM

i totally agree...like i mean i hate when a page has to reload when its the exact same page. i mean we already have to click on the thing and then it loads and then u have to scroll. i liked the list better so i could see them all at once.
-xoxo, thuydee

xoxothuyd on 10/7/2008 4:50:33 PM

coolgirli2795 on 10/7/2008 4:52:10 PM

i liked the old style. i almost always hate the clothes tho!!! GL is great but the stuff they show??? uh-uh.

luv2shop112 on 10/7/2008 4:55:40 PM

wisher2435 on 10/7/2008 5:01:18 PM

capinkturtle- thats what I was just thinking! it takes forever

brunettee on 10/7/2008 5:04:28 PM

*mod* quick question: is it true that if you crack your knuckles they get fatter?

jenlund96 on 10/7/2008 5:13:43 PM

i hate this new way to look at clothes
its so annoying!

peace.love.jonas on 10/7/2008 5:19:19 PM

I hate the scrolling thing too!

xmary101 on 10/7/2008 5:28:24 PM

wear the summer dress w/ bright leggings, fluffly boots, and a cropped jacket.

dream_of_dance123 on 10/7/2008 5:29:12 PM

dream_of_dance123 on 10/7/2008 5:31:58 PM

I LOVE THE FIRST AND THE SOCKS. theyre so cute!! i might buy the 1st....but i hate the rest. sorry..

baseballchicky16 on 10/7/2008 5:48:23 PM

capunkturtle-
i agree!
and it takes a while to load too...
i recommend they change it back!

purplecrazed on 10/7/2008 5:56:44 PM

i dont wear dresses.
theyre uncomfortable...

purplecrazed on 10/7/2008 5:57:34 PM

I like the long collar sweater and the super long socks! Cuh-yute! But i will say that I do NAWT like the new way to look @ the clothes and such.

DarthVayda_18 on 10/7/2008 6:25:13 PM

cute!

novemberbaby164 on 10/7/2008 6:29:53 PM

MOD !
what should i wear to homecoming? my bff says it's semi-formal, so what kind of stores should i look to find the perfect, "not over-the-top" dress? PLZ help me! i'm completely lost! thanx!

Hey babes, you just need a simple dress, something knew length, not too glitzy. Basically any department store has them. xo JANA

katie43 on 10/7/2008 6:40:48 PM

I totally agree...I loved the old way to look at clothes. This new format is nrather annoying to me-it takes forever to load on my comoputer!!!

IsisWolf18 on 10/7/2008 6:43:03 PM

I completely agree with everybody else about how annoying it is when you are viewing the clothes. It takes way too long. Let all these messages be a heads up to GL that something needs to be changed back!

elr94 on 10/7/2008 7:16:30 PM

MOD and girls...
k so im kinda taking a poll: where is the best place to buy cute boots (not those ugly clunky ankle boots) that ARE NOT Uggs or fake uggs... either like gray or black or a shade of brown botts that are cute... thanx!!
<3 rubber ducky

rubberduckyxo on 10/7/2008 7:23:06 PM

I like the idea of putting a white t-shirt underneath a dress. I think that would look really cute!

SportyBFF25 on 10/7/2008 7:27:01 PM

I layer dresses and tanktops with t-shirts all the time! It's cute, and it makes the outfit comfier and more casual. I love those gray suede boots! So chic. Thanks GL!

mngirl on 10/7/2008 7:34:08 PM

***MOD***
Why did you guys change the way to view the clothes? I liked it better before. It takes so long now!

Hey babes, i am not sure whose decision that was or why it was made, sorry! xo JANA

mngirl on 10/7/2008 7:36:13 PM

Anyone wanna chat?

mngirl on 10/7/2008 7:36:53 PM

hey!!!!!

uhll on 10/7/2008 7:44:29 PM

Ohhh I love the sweater dress and the shrug but i agree it takes too much time to scroll to see all the other clothes.

frankensteingirl on 10/7/2008 7:49:53 PM

******MOD***** please help!!!
how do you wear leg warmers? is it possible with a skirt? and what shoes would you wear with them?? boots or flats, right???

Hey babes, I am not a huge fan of them but I am pretty sure you wear them with legging or a skirt and flats, they would look kinda silly over boots. xo JANA

rubberduckyxo on 10/7/2008 7:51:43 PM

i'm not a dress person so...

and i agree with the way of viewing the clothes... it takes way to long and gets annoying. please change it back! thanks.

animal_lover119 on 10/7/2008 7:54:19 PM

MOD I saw these cute boots a I wanna know you know how people usually tuck their pants in the boots? I only have one pair of skinny jeans and my regular jeans won't tuck in. So do you think it's okay to wear them over the boots to? Also should I get a dark grey or dark purple boot? Thanks.

Hey babes, get dark grey just because it matches with more things, And you can definately wear your jeans under them, people just wont be able to see that they are boots. xo JANA

MunkQoo on 10/7/2008 8:06:46 PM

OMGH, I love that! Those are all really cute! I especially like the sweater dress and the cute heels... Sassy! LOL!

ineedmuzic17 on 10/7/2008 8:11:55 PM

OMG MOD OR GIRLS
my mom is being soooo stupid! i want to wear these three inch heels to homecoming that go perfectly with my dress, but she says no cuz there too high!!!
there THREE INCHES!!
she thinks i wont be able to walk in them, when i have danced in 6 in. heels!!!
what should i do, because they are PERFECT FOR HOMECOMING
i do not want to wear flats, i hate flats. and three in. is not high at all. its so unfair

Hey babes, 3 inches is quite high, i dont even wear those, i cant imagine standing on your feet for that long in them! Why dont you compromise? Wear the shoes for pictures and the beginning of the dance then change into lower shoes once your feet start t hurt. xo JANA

nick_jonas_is_so_mine on 10/7/2008 8:18:31 PM

***********MOD*************
♥♥okmy parents don't think that some of the dresses I get are really dresses, "because they are too short!" but I want to wear summer dresses in fall too but they say its too cold out but I don't getas cold as them!!!♥♥♥ HELP!!♥

THANX!!♥

Hey babes, you can easily wear a sundress with tights or leggings with a cute sweater or you can layer them over a turtleneck. There is no need for you to go bare skinned with them, that look is too inappropriate for the season. xo JANA

monkeypig on 10/7/2008 8:35:06 PM

i really dont like the new set up 4 these, it takes 2 long 2 look at them

o well =] im really stressed right now because i have soo many things to do! so right now i am tryiig to relax...

heyyyyyyy on 10/7/2008 9:02:22 PM

**Mods**
Hi!Okay, So i use to have back acne pretty bad, and i took accutane and its all better, but i have scarring and stuff, how can i cover that up for homecoming? I have a strapless dress so yeah, and a shrug or jacket isn't an option please lol. Like make-up wise.. thank you!!

hey!

Try putting cover up on the scars, and wear your hair down to cover it up.

Ashley<3

flipflopdiva1234 on 10/7/2008 9:07:41 PM

omg, I'm wearing a summer dress tomorrow. but with nothing warm under it. today it was 90 degrees!

M... on 10/7/2008 9:53:24 PM

i agree with you, capunkturtle

GymnastDancer on 10/7/2008 11:08:57 PM

Those are soo cute! I love the high heel!

sparky4me on 10/8/2008 2:10:30 PM

I agree, capunkturtle! I liked it the other way a lot better

sparky4me on 10/8/2008 2:12:33 PM

I like the draped sweater shrug.

Puppyluv78 on 10/8/2008 3:23:12 PM

they are all SOOOO adorable, o love them!! the only thing i dont like is those socks...normally i am ALL OVER knee highs (litterally), but those colors weren't that great.
