But what if I, a decided non-teen, was to dress like a teen for a week? While I didn't have access to Willow or Jaden (or even Kylie Jenner, who's too busy brewing up lip kits in Calabasas) I DID have a teen of my very own: my 19-year-old sister, Grace:

Grace's thoughts before the experiment: "Before this project, Sam had a pretty good style. He dresses every day as if he is ready for an Instagram. However, he can sometimes be a little outdated but not by much. Sometimes he thinks his style is up-to-date just because he knows what's going on with the Kardashians. There are a couple of staple pieces that I want him to try that are currently popular."
