Q: I have to wear a boring uniform to school... I enjoy expressing myself through fashion so much, so this is very hard for me! Any ideas on how to add more personality to my uniform?

During my private school days, I looked forward to "Dress Down Days" where School Uniforms were not required. Check to see if your school has days like these, then look forward to releasing your inner fashionista!
I also enjoyed hanging out with friends off campus, where I was able to tap into my fashion sense more freely. Soooo, call the girls up and plan a Saturday party over at your house, shopping trip, lunch, etc.!
