[edit] Tips

You may think this will cost a lot but it really won't. At the end of seasons look at the sale rack, you can find really cheap stuff there. Also, right after christmas there are lots of great sales.
Start with your wardrobe you already have, and add to it.
Add your own individual flair.
Also try to buy pieces that are classic and will last, but fit your own style.
Always try to accessorize, wear headbands, jewlery anything.

[edit] Warnings

Only buy things you need! This will seem hard, but after you have the basics you can spice it up a little without spending too much cash.
Stay far, far away from "fad" items sometimes. Only use them if you really like them. You can use them for a season (or two, if you're lucky) but after that they will be useless.
Don't buy clothes that are too small, because you aren't going to get any smaller, and buy things that are slightly too big, cause it might be a while until you grow into them, so just buy what fits and looks good on you now. Buy the other stuff later.
