Dress Up Games for Back to School

It’s almost time to head back to school, but before I walk into the building for the first time, I need to do a serious revamp of my wardrobe. There are so many clothing items in my closet I don’t wear or don’t even like anymore that it’s rather ridiculous. Fortunately, I have a bit of time and budget left this month to make it work. It looks like I’ll be playing some great dress up games to get ready for back to school!

Every year before I head back to school, I like to dig through my closet to find the favorites from the year before. Then I try everything on. After all, my summer diet isn’t as great as my school year one and things tend to fit me differently in the beginning of the year than they did last spring. In some cases, I have to put them on a shelf and take a week or two exercising and cutting some calories to make them fit correctly again. Once I have a good idea of what I already have in the closet, I’m out at the stores finding new outfits and enjoying my dress up games even more! 

Dress Up Games and Summer

The summer months are the best time of the year to really dig into your closet to play some dress up games. The games can be as simple as pulling everything out of you closet and trying it one, the same way you would if you were going to the mall and trying on clothing in the mall. The more clothing you try on, the better your own grasp of your style should be. Take breaks as needed so that you don’t get too bleary.

As you’re trying on the clothing, make a pile of things that don’t fit or that aren’t very attractive on your body. There are very different body types and not everything looks good on everyone. Find the clothing that really looks great on you and stick with that in your closet. Anything that doesn’t look great can go – after all, why would you want clothing that doesn’t fit correctly or that looks odd on? It’s far better to have a small wardrobe that looks great than one that is large and hard to even sort through because you hate everything in it.  

Dress Up Games and Summer

I go back and forth with myself about playing dress up games in the summer months. For one it’s often too hot to really be pulling clothes in and out of my closet, but at the same time, this is when I have the most time to actually work with my wardrobe to come up with a new look. During the summer months, I can play dress up games in my room all day long without any interruptions or complaints. It’s hard to find that much time during the school year with our many obligations.

Unfortunately, about the time you’re really getting into your dress up games, the heat catches up with you and you realize that you’d much rather just take a nap or go to the pool rather than work up a bit of perspiration by pulling on jeans and other clothes that tend to make you hot. If you do play dress up games during the summer, you can enjoy them in peace and quiet. Perhaps you should save the dress up games for the end of the summer months just before school starts again. Then you can use the dress up games as a great way to find new looks for the school year and to find holes in your wardrobe.

Dress Up Games and Tan Lines

There are many great things about summer, but tan lines aren’t really one of them. If you’re looking at some great summer evenings out with friends in flimsy tops, you want to absolutely look your best. But how can you look your best if your back is criss-crossed with all of the different swimsuit patterns you’ve worn this summer? If you’re facing unfortunate tan lines, maybe it’s time to take matters into your own hands – with maturity and wisdom, of course.

Tanning is bad, surely by now you know that, but it still happens. Sometimes it happens accidentally when you forget the sunscreen, but other times it happens quite on purpose when you lay in the sun baking for hours on end. If you’ve earned an unfortunate tan, you can enjoy dress up games that hide the lines or you can work to make the lines disappear if they show up in your favorite top. An easy way to hide the lines is to get the help of a friend and use a self-tanner. Paint the tanner onto the light spots on your skin and wait the necessary amount of time. Just be sure to buy the right tanner for your current skin tone.

Dress Up Games and Jeans

Dress up games are easy when you’re wearing jeans. Of course, the first thing you need to figure out is how to find the right pair of jeans. There are hundreds of pairs of jeans out there, and the most important thing is to find the jeans that fit and flatter your body. Sometimes you can find this in jeans that are less than $50, and other times you wind up paying more – even hundreds of dollars for the perfect pair of jeans. Once you find them though, you’ll be able to pair those jeans with just about anything.

The dress up games are easy to do with some jeans. Denim is naturally a neutral palette, so you can find just about any shirt and pair it with jeans. Wear your jeans with a formal shirt and dress them up with heels or strappy sandals. You’ll be dressed for a night on the town. Put on your jeans with a casual t-shirt and you’ll be ready to take on just about anything. The biggest trick with your jeans and dress up games is finding the right length for the jeans. Your jeans should be long enough to wear with heels, but not so long you can’t wear them with casual shoes as well.

Dress Up Games and Sleep

It’s hard to look your best if you’re not rested. If you’re going to be playing dress up games, you should absolutely be focused on getting enough sleep the night before. And not only should you be worried about how much sleep you’re getting, you should also spend some time planning out when you’re going to be getting all of that sleep. After all, there are good times and bad times to sleep. Surely you’ve woken up late on the weekends before and realized that you’re more tired than you were when you went to bed? That would be because you we sleeping at the wrong times.

As a teenager you should be sleeping around nine hours per night. The best hours for sleeping are between nine and seven in the morning, which may mean going to bed as early as nine and getting up around 6 if you have school early in the day. Going to bed part ten is never a good idea since you’re pushing the limits of your natural sleep patterns and you’re risking waking up feeling grouchy.  

Dress Up Games: How to Play

Dress up games are so straightforward it’s hard to not figure out how to play. That doesn’t mean you have all the tricks figured out the first time you sit down with the dress up games. It’s actually simple to play the dress up games, but can be far more challenging to get all of the details down pat. And in all honesty, why would you want to get all of the details figured out? The creativity and challenge of finding perfection time and time again is what makes the dress up games so much fun.

To play dress up games, you’ll start with a doll base that looks a lot like a barely dressed Barbie doll. The doll base needs clothing and the game provides a nice selection of items that you can use to dress her up. Simply drag and drop the clothing items over to the doll and pick out things that complete a particular look if that’s what you’re going for or use a random selection to create a look that is even more unique and fun. The best part of dress up games is how simple they are to play and the truly creative end results.
