[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If cost is not an option, how about scheduling a blowout where she gets her hair cut or at one of those blow dry places.  The set appointment might help some with structure.

If she needs to occasionally wear makeup, get her a makeup “uniform”.  Go to Nordstrom, (Sephora is too chaotic, Blue Mercury is nice but pricey) and have a makeup artist teach her.  Tell them you need a very basic light makeup look.  [b]Some girls do need makeup.  [/b]I am very short and looked like I was 12 in college, so it definitely helped.  If she doesn’t need it even better.  Try a lower price point brand like Clinique.  Even better if she has a girlfriend to take her.

I agree with the dress “uniform” idea.  Dresses, tights and cardigan that mix and match.   Skirt and top might be harder because it is more items to coordinate.  Also, look at her peers and see what the girls are wearing.  Try to come up with a fool proof mix and match version.  I live within walking distance of  a college and see mostly short dresses with cardigans, bare legs (or tights when it’s cold) and chunky shoes.  So many Doc Martens now!

Good luck![/quote]
