Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Follow guidelines similar to those you would use when choosing clothing for the first day of school. Wear new clothes if you can. If you don't have a new outfit, iron a nice one that you do have.

2. Incorporate the school colors into your attire in a subtle way. For example, if your school's colors are purple and gold, you could wear a purple shirt and some delicate gold jewelry. Alternatively, throw on a jacket with the school logo or mascot on it.

3. avoid jeans that are low cut, baggy or another unusual style. If you wear jeans, pair them with a nice pair of shoes, belt and acceptable shirt. They should fit properly in every way.

4. Apply conservative makeup if you are female. Don't wear glitter, shimmer or bold colors. Instead, go for a natural look.

Tips & Warnings

• Put a smile on your face. You will appear likable, friendly and approachable.
• Don't wear shorts, a T-shirt or flip flops. You need to communicate that you are happy to be there and that you respect your parents and your teacher.
• Don't look like you are trying too hard. This will make it look like you have something to hide.
