To young to be what I want to be?

[Delilah]

Im am only 16 at the moment and currently do not have a job and go to college, I dont have any money to buy clothes and my mum asnt got to many femine clothes, I was just hoping if anyone that has been in this situation can advise me on how i will be able to be myself and dress up, i really dont know how there is a good answer but if anyone can help it would be very nice, thank you!

Can you get a part-time job to help you get money together so as to be able to buy stuff? Incidentally, charity shops sell clothes at very much reduced prices (like 1/4 for example). Generally the biggest element of their stock is women's clothes.

I am looking for a job just no one want no experience now, i will have a look in the chairty shops when i get a chance though, thank you!

Hi Delilah--
You have to check the charity shops frequently, to find anything worthwhile. A lot of it is depressing to go through, and not worth buying. The gems do come in, and you have to keep an eye on the inventory to find them.

Hi Delilah, what are you looking for on the job front? Any employment is a bonus these days.

What about McDonalds, Burger King, KFC etc, they always want young people.

You gotta take what you can get! Then you can start on your wardrobe!

I'm just looking for any part time job, seen some amazing heels on the market today and was only cheap, going to have a closer inspection next time I'm there so I can start my wardrobe

One option would be to start getting a bit of experience by doing some voluntary work, it can be a bit tedious but it always looks good on the CV, of course if you volunteered in a charity shop you woudl then get expenses and a staff discount!
