I start school on Wednesday, and I'm torn between two outfits. One is a pair of shiny black leggings (kind of like fake leather) and a yellow and grey striped tank top (it sounds lame, but it's really cute) and either flip flops or flats. The other one is the same shirt and shoes, but with yoga pants. Which outfit should I wear? Which shoes should I go for? Also, I have a normal backpack and a tote bag, so which should I use? Thanks!
Skinny yoga pants, not regular yoga pants. They look exactly like leggingns. And I barely own and dresses or skirts, so that's out.

It's soo much easier with a school uniform it isn't even funny. I had school uniforms for half of my life and the other half without. The first day is only a half-day so don't waste the cutest outfit for a half-day. Since it's still hot, wearing something casual and still a little summery would be okay. In fact, wearing summer stuff (vs. traditional 'back-to-school'-ish clothes that are more fall/autumnal) would be cute and the most comfortable.
I always avoided wearing brand-new stuff in the first week of school because it seemed funny to me to see so many kids with their brand-new, back-to-school clothes and shiny, new backpacks. I always thought it was much cooler to not do that. I would wear a really faded and distressed pair of jeans with a tank and flip-flops when it was still hot. Basically, what I would wear if I was just out & about before school started that year.
I don't know if you're a dress kind of person but I always wore little cotton dresses like this with flip-flops or flats (or Keds) for the first couple weeks of school. It's what everyone wore (southern California)

The bumblebee tank and yoga pants with flip flops (unless school dress code says NO to flip-flops.. some do) sounds cute.. with the tote bag and a cute pair of sunglasses. (would also be cute with a pair of skinny cargo's). Maybe even a dab of suntan oil on your arms so you smell like summer!
Effortless back-to-school:

Hey I'm gonna go to 6th grade in two days and I need to know these things:
⢠what to wear
⢠what to do
⢠make up ( do not tell me I'm to young)
⢠what's lame and what's not
⢠what backpack to use
⢠how to be cool/funny
AND ANY THING ELSE WOULD BE GREAT CAN YOU MAKE IT A LONG LIST WHOEVER HAS THE LONGEST AND MOST HELPFUL LIST WILL GET 100points
Answer
Here's some background information to me so I feel like a big sister. I'm a 16-year-old in high school and in grade 6, I had no trouble fitting in. I know it's hard to transition into a different school and you want people to like you, but in the end, you shouldn't really spend too much time on how to be this or how to be that. Be yourself because someone in school will love you for you.
Now here's the list. I'm guessing you're 12, right?
WHAT TO WEAR:
-A basic t-shirt with skinny jeans and vans or converse. For a nice tough, have a plaid shirt wrapped around your waist. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/p480x480/942670_10151228134272185_1691722831_n.jpg
-For a girly touch, wear a nice tee with high-waisted shorts and your hair in a braid.
-Wear a comfy sweater with jeans
-A white tee, blue jeans and a scarf
-Sweat pants with a tank top
MAKE UP:
I know you don't want to hear that you're too young. You're not but I don't suggest you do winged eyeliner or anything that older girls do because growing up too fast SUCKS. (Believe me, I wish I could go back to middle school. Growing up is a pain.)
-Curl your eyelashes and wear mascara
-Wear a nice pink lip stick/lip gloss
-You can use BB cream (a cream that moisturizes your face and makes skin tones even)
Sorry, but that's how far you should be going with makeup when you're 12.
WHAT BACKPACK TO USE:
-You can use the typical Jansport bag. http://www.golfstandbags.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jansport-school-bags.jpg
-You can also use a messenger bag which has one strap and you put it over your shoulder. http://www.collegefashion.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/MessengerBags.png
WHAT'S LAME AND WHAT'S NOT:
-Saying "swag", "yolo" and essentially making it look like you're trying too hard. Do you know what I mean? Here, I'll show you examples.

Not trying too hard: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaoD79T_D7PlUiTESSifVfqUzggUr0nWAQuzTdYKNMsGg2vH-LGRKWT744ued8-MTvEx-H32r_2k4KPscx7iInTlafBBbCpqYAlSNV0NBIqp578qRgRWyubIdVCmDe-Ln1834P2n1-3QU/s1600/tumblr_lz3gpeA95U1r1fzbso1_1280.jpg
People who try too hard, we call "hypebeasts" and "bops". These people are the ones who think "swag" is cool when "swag" is overrated. Sorry, not sorry.
-Doing drugs, smoking, partying, making out with guys. Promise me you won't do that because you will REGRET it.
-What's NOT lame is being yourself, being nice to others, the simple things that school teaches you. Actually do your work and aim for success because those people who slack in school are the ones that could be serving you at McDonalds.
WHAT TO DO/HOW TO BE COOL OR FUNNY
Like I said earlier. You should always be yourself and do what you love. Don't do something because other people are doing it and it's "cool". Trends come and go and those things you thought were "cool" suddenly become lame. You make your own decisions based on what YOU think is best. To be cool or funny, don't even try. Just carry on a normal conversation like you usually do. People say I'm naturally funny but when I actually try, I'm not funny.
*SPECIAL ADVICE FROM ME: Just because you have lots of friends, doesn't mean they're all going to be nice behind your back. As you get older, you start to lose the friends you once had. My suggestion is to be friends with people you like, not people who are "popular" or "cool". If you don't like how someone acts, don't be fake. Just stop talking to them. In the end, you only have a few close friends and those are the true friends.
BE CLASSY, NOT TRASHY!
Good luck in middle school :)
