Here are some tricks to get you started on your way to your own personal style. Choose the ones that work for you or try on some of your own. Either way, take it slow...teenage girls style takes time to develop and stick.

1. Accessorize! Accessories are style's quick fixes. You can't go wrong if you throw on a terrific fringed belt, a fabulous hair ribbon, a great beaded bracelet. Beware, however, of over-accessorizing. Less is more. Your accessory style shouldn't scream!
2. Hats Up! Not everyone can wear hats and feel comfortable but if you can, you have a winning style. There are so many varieties of hats from baseball caps to vintage '40s berets—you'll never be bored coming up with new versions of this fashion statement to rock your own teenage style!
3. Vintage Is New and Refreshing. What's old is new again. Research the vintage shops near you and pick up an inexpensive jacket, a whimsical purse, or a pair of earrings from the 1970s. Combine a vintage item with your new, trendy school clothes and your same old teenage girls style takes on new meaning.
4. Play with Your Hair. You'll find your hair is your untapped style resource for your new teenage girlsstyle! Experiment. Crimp. Straighten. Gel. Pull it back or wear it up. You'll be surprised to see how many different looks you can come up with. Now go a step further—complement an outfit with a hairstyle. If you're wearing an embroidered peasant top and low-rise bell bottoms, accessorize your outfit with crimped and gelled hair.
5. Makeup Should Add Glow, NOT Color. It is truly the age of the bronzer. However, nowhere is your personal style more important than in the way you apply your makeup. It is not enough to wear the latest eye colors or lip shades. You need to wear makeup that compliments your skin tone and your skin type. It is suggested you see a makeup professional (the tailored women behind the makeup counters in every department store can set you on the right track!) Once you have a basis for your face, you can be daring—experiment with colors and styles that define you. Your own personal style is the signature you become known for. Make it a color or a scent. Maybe it's your love of hats or your talent for mixing styles. Who knows, maybe you have a knack with socks! It doesn't matter—as long as it matters to you. Your teenage girls style will make you feel good about yourself and get you noticed. It will make you memorable.
