☆ ☆ Mmkay, so like, the past 6 years of my life I've had to wear uniforms to school, and during breaks I'd still have school activities, so all of my non-uniform clothes follow the dress code (except for like, one skirt that's too short).
So I went through my clothes and donated all my uniform stuff to my school now that I've graduated, and I realized this is mainly what's in my casual wardrobe: - jeans - shorts - t-shirts. t-shirts everywhere.
o_o''
My activities this summer include having an internship doing office work, working at the swap meet, and possibly going on a few dates. So of course, I want to look nice... but I have no idea how to dress myself because I've had to follow guidelines for the past 6 years. >_<
I know people just say "oh just go look around the mall and see what you like!" but... I have no idea where to start looking. Or even what I'm looking for. I'm so used to only looking for clothes that completely cover my shoulders and cleavage and knees that I have no idea.
Right now I have about 80-ish dollars I could spend, but I want to try and keep it under budget as much as possible... I want to get some sort of casual dress to wear, plus I need to figure out what to wear for my internship, which will be twice a week. (I'm pretty sure my job at the swap meet will be OK with me wearing a shirt and shorts) And maybe a tank top? I haven't worn one since elementary school...
If you gals could offer some advice on stores to visit or just clothing to keep an eye out for? Also... how much are things supposed to cost?^_^'' Like, what's a reasonable price for a casual dress and a tank top? (I don't want some sales person to scam me...)
So yeah, please help me figure out stuff because I'm a shopping noob. :'D

Yes, I agree with Shady. Wal-mart is a great place. Most of my tank tops are from walmart, as well as scarfs, and hats. oh! and they have the cutest summer dresses! for like....ehh, $10-$30
Even thrift stores, just double check the clothing to make sure they aren't torn, stained, etc. Heck, I found Southpole jeans there for four bucks. Brand new. Converse? Brand new. Ten bucks. You just have to look.
But, if you must go to the mall...then stay away from brand names like hollister. they are crazy expensive. And Old Navy is only good for jeans, in my opinion. Yet, I can never find cheap shorts...o.o...anywhere.
Good luck!
Sincerly, -ThriftyTeenageFinder xD

I know some of you guys were recommending Walmart, I'm against that. Sure you can find you things, but you really need to choose quality over quantity. Anything I've purchased from Walmart in the past is long gone. You can shop in the nicer stores, you just need to shop clearance. Clearance is your friend ladies! I've purchased so many cute heels, dresses, shirts, all for fairly cheap. So don't be afraid to check out things in the mall, but make sure you make a bee line to the clearance section.
Office work you'd probably want a nice dress, or slacks and a nice shirt. With slacks you can pretty much wear a cute top or a button up. Pencil skirts are nice, very cute. But most importantly, get clothes that compliment your body type! Work your way through a nice wardrobe, don't buy tshirts anymore, make it a goal for nice flattering tops and pants. Make sure they're fitted to your body, remember, flattering clothes! I would also suggest getting a nice pair of work heels, nothing too high if you're not use to it.
If you're still a bit lost, please don't hesitate to pm me!
