I'd like a little help about Fashion
Hello I'm McKenzie and in the 5th Grade. I usually wear comfy clothes, laid back, ect. Which I don't mind wearing. Despite me having a ton of good dressy clothes. But every once in a while I want to look good and I guess care a little more. I'm a tomboy but I don't think it hurts too dress ok every once and a while. But the problem is if you wear comfy clothes at my school your expected to always wear them. If you wear dress clothes you are expected and so on.
And if not your mocked. I don't mind but I usually just wear my regular clothes because I get tired of hearing people say " What are you wearing "!?? .
Then laughing. Even if it was from W-Mart to Prada
Why do you think people laugh when you wear something fancier or more laid back depending?
Even if ITs for the better.?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
You're at school a lot of the time and it'll tend to be the centre of your a good deal of your friends and acquaintances. If you're known to be a bit tomboy in nature and a casual dresser then it will probably turn-over their preconceived ideas about you when you appear looking glam and sexy. Many people don't really like their preconceptions overturned. They will often respond with a bit of a light mock or sarcastic comment. Sometimes the comments can be quite hurtful. Maybe until now clothes were either your 'casuals' to knock about in or 'best dresses'. Likewise, your friends. As you get that bit older and more mature then your definition of 'best dress' changes. It's not a cute 'party frock' any more. It's more sophisticated attire. Cool. Sexy. Chic. Prada, maybe...good taste you've got!! Of course even the most fashion conscious young woman is not going to dress in slinky cuts, fabrics and labels all day every day. There'll be times when smart daywear is in order. And they'll be times when you just want to wear comfy and casual stuff, and it's the most appropriate stuff to wear. I get the feeling that fashion and style is going to play a big part in your life? Basically, if it looks good, feels good, fits well and you look good in it....and it's approporiate to the time/occasion, you'll never look 'wrong'. Casual, tomboy, pretty and cute, smart and businesslike, drop-dead sexy, flirty...the looks are all there to dip in and out of as the mood takes you and the occasion calls for. You might surprise a few people, turn a few heads, attract attention, a comment or two. Isn't that what fashion and style are all about??
Stop worrying mate...you'll do! X
ps. I don't really hold with that saying about how we should never judge by appearance. Many of the people we encounter are very casual acquaintances or even complete strangers. Precisely what HAVE they GOT to judge you on other than how you look?? Work it!!

You can make you walmart clothes work just match them properly and add different accesseries like scarfs and headbands. Also try looking through hand me downs that might fit you and tailor them a bit. I think mixing and matching is the key to fashion. Wear what you like and feel comfortable in no matter what anyone else thinks. Most of my clothes are from the thrift store and I'm a pretty fashionable person. You can also get inspiration from tv shows and magazines. I wish you good luck!
I think that people might not accept change at first, no one really does but what they think doesn't matter, no one should laugh at what you wear, so wear what you want!

You are at an age and period in your life that tends to be a bit awkward for pretty much everyone, even those kids who might seem like that have it altogether.
Once kids your age and really all throughout the teenage years start to associate other kids with specific social groups, interests and yes, even fashions, a lot of them become a little like drones. They expect that this is what makes that person and that's just the way it is.
As you get older, you learn to understand that people can be more than one thing and ultimately quite diverse. But as a younger person, that can sometimes be hard to process.
I suggest that you just be you, whoever that may be. If that means changing your style from time to time, go for it. And don't worry about what others might think about it. They are going to think whatever they want anyway.

People notice and remark on change. Almost no one is comfortable with change. Most people deal with that discomfort by trying to make you change back. Mockery is a good way to make you change back. Laughing is a common way to deal with being uncomfortable.
It's not just your school. It's everywhere. Adults at work have the same problem. I was 25 when I started wearing makeup while at work, and people commented. No one was really trying to mock me - most people tried to be nice - but still some of the comments were hurtful. On really hot days in the summer I wore skirts, and people commented. I felt some pressure to 'change back' to what they were comfortable with.
All you can do is push through it. Human beings will always be this way. Change will get comments, even mockery. People will questioned change, or not take you seriously if you change something about yourself. Haven't you ever criticized someone for suddenly changing how they present themselves? If you are honest, you'll realize you probably have.
