Another alternative is the 'rocker' look. You start with a T-shirt of your favourite band and __________________ jeans or a long skirt.

If neither of these is for you, why not go '__________________ '? T-shirts are usually tie-dyed in hot colours. Wear long shorts, short jeans or a denim __________________. And on your feet? Beach __________________, of course! If you prefer something more feminine, there's the 'girly' look. Skirts are long, to the floor. Wear a __________________ with butterflies or flowers printed on it! Finally, how about the 'Tom Boy' look? Wear flared jeans and a T-shirt with a logo. Don't forget your __________________, of course! Follow the fashion tips above, and you shouldn't feel out of place.
