Casey Lewis and Cynthia (About Fashion Guide) team up to give Kate a cool new look.
Name: Kate
Age: 13
Makeover goal: A trendier casual look
Get the look
We decided to stay with Kate's faves (Ts and jeans) instead of making a drastic style change.
By adding updated pieces and a few fun touches we managed to pull off the entire look (including makeup and accessories) for just a bit above $100.
The cropped jeans we chose look like they're vintage, but are actually brand new (Wet Seal, $49). They have lots of details -- an unravelled hem and lots of fading -- so we made them the focal point of Kate's new look.
To avoid competing with her groovy jeans, we chose a simple white tank top (Nordstrom, $12) and glammed up the look by adding a red web belt (Levis, $24) with a crystal pave buckle.
To top off this red, white and blue theme, we added flip flops from "Old Navy" for $4. The only accessory we thought she needed other than the belt is a single jeweled crystal star on her shoulder (from The Icing).
Reason we like this look
We admit Kate was easy makeover material: she's naturally adorable and looks great in just about anything. But we also think this lighthearted look really plays up Kate's sunny smile.
Or as Casey says: "I loved Kate's new look because it was a simple mix of many trends - funky denim, the white tank, rhinestone belt, crystal tattoo and the new Americana look."
