How can a tall skinny girl look cute?

Ok, I have the same problem! (minus the skinny part...I'm about average) but, honestly, the clothes at forever 21 are MADE for tall girls. Look on the website. Everything is pictured on a model that's 5'9". Skirts look good on tall people. It's just a fact. (I don't mean denim mini skirts :/ ) If you don't feel comfortable, wear some tights with the textured designs. Jeans tend to look weird on tall people...don't go for a skinny jean. The cut will make you look even more gangly. Go for a WELL FIT boot cut. It will even you out a bit. Looser, flowy-er tops look good too! But honestly, go into the store, try on the outfit, and look in the mirror. If your first thoughts are along the lines of "this doesn't look right/fit right/feel right" put it back. If you turn around and think "BAM! I am looking FINE" then get it. It's all about what you feel comfortable it. Remember, fashions fade, but STYLE is for eternity. Oh! And Rue 21 has cheap, good quality jeans that should fit fantastically. And Buckle has jeans that will send you to heaven every time you put them on, they are just a bit more expensive, but are definitely long enough for you :)
