TrangB what type of skinny are you? It really depends on your body shape. Are you a rectangle, triangle, hour glass or inverted triangle. Also you personal style would be helpful. Any ways here are some ideas if you are a skirt girl anything that flared out or has pleats would be good but not longer than below the knees. Make sure you wear pants that fit. Don't go too tight just because you are skinny you don't want to look like a beanpole. Also make sure things are not too baggy either. A good idea is to look at celebrities with the same body type as you and see what they wear, pay attention to the shape/cut of clothing and types of fabrics.

Express has nice stuff as well.
Forever 21 is cheap. We joke about that place being wear it once, because once you wash it, their stuff tends to fall apart.

Pretty good avice here.
Skirt style is right on. If your like me and have no hips, skirts that flaire out and give the illusion of curves are nice. Same with the pants, but I dunno, the beanpole look is kinda in still heh.

Eh, I've gotten some REALLY good work slacks there, before, but as far as their trendy type stuff, you're right. Which, I guess is okay, because trends change weekly.

Inverted triangle I guess...and I don't really have curves
so it's kinda hard for me to find clothes that look great on me. I'm so in love with skirts
but I only wear them often recently. I haven't really found a perfect pair of pants. Thanks for your advice! They're really helpful

you want to get jeans that have small back pockets like 5in or so they will make your bum look bigger with str leg. for hips get jeans that have detailing or a cargo style pockets on the front (cargo look good and are good for curves) belts are also good to create curves.

If you have a "straight" figure skinny jeans are awesome 'cause they make you look like you have hips.
I love wearing them!

H&M has clothes for skinny girls. Depending on which one I go to, I can find clothes that fit. I usually have a hard time finding a waist belt, but they actually had one that fit me! Zara also makes clothes that fit small. Their Small fits like an X-Small.

Whoo I'm 5'6" and like 105-110 lbs too
But I have an hourglass figure... (Deformed, I know)
Try Ross. They have amazing clothes. I can always find something that fits there.
For jeans: I try to go with a lower rise so that it hits at the fullest part of the hips. Straight or flared are usually best. I don't think that bootcut look very good on me for some reason.
Tops: I usually wear tops with "floaty" sleeves and I really like v-necks and square necklines.
Uhm, that's all I can think of sorry.

i'm about the same size as you and i find that tops that are slightly longer than my hips and clingy around the waist/hips area make me look curvier.

SKINNY IS FABULOUS! i used to have such a hard time finding what i should wear, i didn't know how to dress myself or what even looked good on my body-type but i've had a lot of help from employees at stores and from my fashionable best friend...so here is my help!
i am a little taller than you but same weight and what i try to do is look at all the skinny celebrities like Odette & AliVix1 said. i find that super easy just take a look at paris hilton or petra nemcova...skinny jeans are something i just recently tried & they look so much better on me than any other cut of jean! they hug all the right parts & if they are long you can bunch them up around the ankles and it looks adorable! pair skinny jeans with a cute flowy top, for summer think of tube tops like this
or tanks like this
are reallly flattering
if you consider yourself a TALL skinny girl go with some cute flats - metallic or satin, maybe some leather sandals
if you think you're a shorter skinny girl i would add some wedge sandals, or a retro leather pump in a matte-like finish
just remember always try things on in store! because i used to pick things up in my size then bring it home & it didnt look the way i hoped! so try everything on, and shop in outfits - when you pick something up look for something you could pair it with, or imagine something in your already existing wardrobe
