Looking your age when you're little (1 Viewer)

[melsc]

Does anyone else find it hard to look their age and find clothes that fit?
Being a size 6 -8 I find it hard to find clothes that make me look my age (rather making me look like a little kid) does anyone have any suggestions?
The other problem is trying to do it on a uni student budget.

OMG. I have the same problem. I hate looking 5 years younger than I really am.

just avoid jeans + tee if you want to stop looking 12.

Accessorise, buy some boots, belts, good jewlerry and things like coats, handbags etc etc.
Also buy things that accentuate whatever figure you have

So? thats not that bad really. I just love it when people think im 17 or 18, while im actually 20

^^ Yeah I agree with you. But I'm 18 yet I look 13ish.

I'm similar. I'm short and have a baby face. Get carded all the time.

I can't help but wear jeans+tshirt most of the time though. At work they think I'm like 21 because of corporate gear but I kind of can't be fucked bothering outside of work much.

Someone said I look 14 the other day. Mmmm I'm cool with that. Better than looking old.

yer im small also anyone no good places to buy formal dresses from im like just size 6

 

[Tulipa]

Chic in Chatswood or the city does small sizes. Most boutiques do as well, not so much Harts or whatever.

Review has some great cocktail/formal dresses in size 6 [I got my formal dresses from there].

 

[fernando]

i look more like my age when i wear corporate clothing. [black]
i'd wear my long boots to uni but that may seem too dressed up. must find non-dressy boots!

They're all over the place. I know there's one in the city and Chatswood Chase. Depends on how much you're willing to spend as well. I don't think you'd have much trouble finding a cocktail dress if you went around Pitt St mall or somewhere like that. Less likely to find a unique dress out in suburban malls.
