Q. I am a 21 year old woman and I want to look more classy/elegant/refined, more "upscale"
How does one stand out as someone like this? Does anyone have any advice on how to dress/mannerisms/etc. etc?
Thanks!

A. Here are some simple tips that always work:
1. Wear clothes that fit you well, and never wear anything too low cut or too tight. Don't wear very bright colors or anything too trendy.
2. Don't wear a lot of jewelry. A ring and a necklace or a bracelet and earrings or a bracelet and a necklace are good combinations and are enough.
3. Don't wear cheap shoes, and don't wear shoes that are scuffed or dirty.
4. Carry a good quality handbag. A logo bag is not necessary, and especially stay away from Coach bags. Everyone has one now, and they don't mean anything anymore. Don't carry a handbag designed by a celebrity either.
5. Keep your makeup simple. Don't wear bright colored eyeshadow or dark lipstick. Mascara, peach blush and pink lip gloss are good.
6. Always have perfectly manicured nails, and never, ever walk around with chipped nail polish. If you wear sandals, make sure you have a perfect pedicure.
7. Wear perfume, but make sure it is subtle and soft.
8. Always wear a good bra and good undergarments that hold in your stomach.
9. Make sure you have a hairstyle that you can maintain and style yourself, and make sure it's neat and well-kept.
10. Don't ever be the loudest mouth in the room, don't interrupt others, don't insult people, and be gracious even when you are insulted. Don't do anything to embarrass someone, even if they deserve it.
11. Don't ever gossip. This deserves its own number. That's the quickest way to lower yourself to the pond scum level.
12. Don't buy your clothes in the junior section or at the typical young girls stores like Forever 21. Shop at Macy's or Nordstrom. You can find wonderful things on clearance, and remember it's quality not quantity.
13. Monochromatic dressing is very sophisticated. For example, if you are wearing tan colored pants, wear a beige t-shirt with a pretty necklace, and wear tan colored boots or heels. It makes you look polished.
14. Flats are very comfortable but also a one-way path to looking frumpy. Wear heels when at all possible, even if it's just one inch.
15. Go to the bookstore and check out the books in the Appearance section. There are tons of them. They have good ideas and are a lot of fun.
16. You are young and just developing your style, so be patient with yourself. It takes time to learn what you like and what looks good on you, and your tastes will change and refine over time. Have fun while you're at it.
17. Don't ever buy or wear anything that doesn't make you feel really good.
18. Send thank you cards in the regular mail that you wrote yourself, remember your friends' birthdays, and always send condolences and congratulations when appropriate.

Can i get advice for how to dress cool without buying expensive cloths?
Q. can i get advice for how to dress my best(i'm a girl) and i don't want to spend alot
A. Observe what expensive clothes look like and observe how well-dressed people put together their clothes. The key to looking expensive without being expensive is to understand that luxury lies in the lack of vulgarity. No I don't mean vulgarity as in words like f***. Pardon me. But vulgarity as in excessive and ugly decorations/elements in clothes.
Study the trends. For example, gladiator sandals are very popular right now. There is always some high-street/cheaper brand like topshop/forever 21 that copies these trends and come up with less expensive versions of the runway. Another alternative is to buy sandals that are *similar* to a gladiator, strappy, but not a gladiator. Just similar. This way, once gladiators go out of fashion, you still have some very nice sandals and people can't accuse you of being trendy/passe. And they're several hundred dollars cheaper than the runway versh! yay!

Another way is to buy items that are very timeless and will never go out of fashion. A nice white blouse, nice straight-cut jeans in a dark denim, basic black pumps, a nice jacket, a nice bag. All these things will ensure you look put-together always.
The most important thing is to dress for your body type. People often make the mistake of wearing what is not flattering for their bodies. Find your own style and find out what suits your body. When a skinny woman wears a baggy tunic, she'll look overwhelmed, but put her in a tube dress and she'll look good. It's that sort of thing. Always dress for your body shape but with your own tastes and style included. This will result in a look that is yours alone and which no one else has.
Forever 21 is the place for you. They have certain items that are pretty nice and it's all cheap cheap cheap.

Oh, and always wear a little make-up, keep your hair out of your face, shave your legs/underarms and keep your nails clean&neat. :D Always works.
