I'm such an indecisive person. I could pick!

Well, I don't have a polyvore or pintrest account, so I decided just to take items, clip pics, and stick them on one big pic!

Well, for one of the outfits I created, this outfit is more fashionable than it is sensible (the shirt and shoes alone cast over 1,000 US dollars). For the top (Alexander McQueen Silk Peplum Top), I have once remembered seeing Ally sporting this type, with the high waistline seam which defines her delicate waist. I decided to follow through on that idea because it looked so nice on her. I chose purple because in her outfits, or at least Laura Marano’s outfits, she seems to be wearing something blue colored, so I decided to keep it the same, but different. The jeans I couldn’t help but incorporate the floral that we see Ally wear occasionally. For the shoes (Alexander McQueen Velvet Puritan Platform Sandal), let’s face it, we always see Ally wearing some sort of heels or wedges, just to try to balance out Austin’s height. I chose the shoes because although not something I have seen Ally wear, as it is normally fun colored, per se, being light and bright colors, and it’s no crystal shoes from Ally’s favorite movie Crystal Princess Shoes, they are still very stylish and is something that would really make a good first impression. I mean, it is the first day of school. For the necklace, I decided to add some decoration so the outfit doesn’t look plain, but not like it looks overly busy and matchy-matchy. I chose a layered silver and diamond necklace that would sweep down just below the neckline, so from the brought in waist line, to the neckline and necklace, it brings your eyes up to her face. The hairstyle actually is a style Laura wore at the Teen Choice awards because Ally’s hairstyles are pretty repetitive. Her differing layers and highlights look beautiful cascading in soft curls while the small braid portrays that young and innocent demeanor about her.



I had a long floral sleeve-less top (D-Signed Girls' Short-Sleeve Top – Multicolor) and I paired this up with some denim shorts which added a little Ally flare to them with the small lace detail on the sides (D-Signed Cherokee Girls' Shorts - Denim Blue). The Treble Clef Sing Necklace really accents Ally for who she is because of her musical abilities. I added some light pink lace toms (because we all know those were (and still kinda are) in) and the lace is a nice added bonus to give it a more vintage ally feel. Indie backpacks were really trending during 2012 and early 2013, so I thought Ally should take part in that. Also, the backpack flows along with the carefree and vintage unique Ally look that she sported in Season 1, but with an outfit like this, that doesn’t include a ton of layers and vests or thick chunky belts or big bracelets or brown boots with knee socks. I couldn’t help but add a MyTAB to the mix!



The next outfit is something that was actually in a Laura Marano fashion shoot, minus the Minnie Mouse ears (but I just had to add that Minnie Mouse clutch). It’s pretty much Candie’s Peplum Bodycon Skirt, a Black and White sequined top, and One by Alejandra G Tyrese Jawbreaker Sandals.



I decided to stick to the red black and white theme because she just looked so good in the fashion shoot… I just loved the hairstyle when it had this red-ish tint to it, so I picked that one. I picked an intricate design for the skirt so everything doesn’t seem so plain. There would be a plain red tank top underneath so the outfit doesn’t look too busy and it would be tucked underneath the high waist strap of the high low skirt. I decided to add a black belt (Armani Leather Belt) just for the sake of hiding the fact that the tank would be tucked into the skirt. Because I thought that the tank would look too plain without something to jazz it up, I added a small jacket. I added some thin silver bracelets because I thought they would look nice. I loved the little red bag (Michael Kors IPhone wristlet) and because I found this amazing piano keys and music note phone case, Ally would have to hold it somewhere, it was the perfect match. To add to the accessories I added a black and white onyx long beaded necklace and Aristo Anklestrap Sandals to the mix to finalize Ally’s outfit. Maybe not school material (because I doubt you can fit all those books into that little clutch, but a cute outfit none the less.



I thought I should bring back a little of Ally’s season style with the floral dress. This I paired up with Ally’s signature season 2 white vest. So this way the outfit incorporates Ally’s season 1 and season 2 fashion choices. I decided to give Ally a more edgy look with the shoes (Punk New Womens Studded High Heels Platform Lace-up Ankle Boots Shoes) because that’s not a style we’ve really seen her in (other than in Solos & Stray Kitties). The hairstyle I keep fun, light and simple. I didn’t want to add anything near her neck like a scarf or necklace because the vest seemed to some very close and I didn’t want anything to look too crowded or too busy. I added a small fragrance too (Valentino Assoluto) because of the sweet, fruity and light smell of it, it helps balance out the darkness in the dress and the boots. I was trying to work with opposites in this outfit by having the black floral dress and the plain white vest and the edgy boots with the innocent hairstyle. Although not overly complicated, a different look for Ally which incorporates her old style, her new style, an edgier/punk style and a carefree look.



The last outfit isn’t really an outfit. As you may know, Target has come out with and Ally Dawson collection, and after looking at a few pictures, these are some of the shirt and pants that the Ally Dawson collection has. These have come from the Target website, but I think only the puffy blouses are questionable on which is in the Ally Dawson collection. (I personally think it’s the black one, but just in a different color). From top to bottom, left to right, the item of clothing is D-Signed Girls’ Blouse, D-Signed Girls Sleeveless Tank, D-Signed Girls Sleeveless Tank, D-Signed Short Sleeve Peasant Top, D-Signed Tie Dyed Pink and White Shorts, and D-Signed Girls Tank.
