November 11, 2020 FALL FASHION FIASCO!! Dear Nikki,OMG, autumn is my very FAVORITE season (Halloween! Thanksgiving! Decaf pumpkin spice lattes that my mom lets me have now and then!). I ESPECIALLY love the clothes that I get to wear in fall. Fun scarves, cool boots over leggings, plaid button-downs, fuzzy socks, and cozy sweaters (I even found face masks to match!). But here’s my dilemma: yesterday I wore my fav new outfit, and you’ll never guess what happened next. The meanest, most Mackenzie-ish girl in school was wearing the EXACT SAME THING. I mean, exact. Jeans with boots and the same flannel shirt. When she saw me in the hallway, she made a big scene and said I was pathetic for copying her—and that I was “SUCH a stalker.” And she said it in front of my crush!! I was so embarrassed that I told the nurse I was sick and went home.How can I save my reputation and still wear the clothes I love?Fall Fashion Fiasco Hi Fall Fashion Fiasco,I totally agree—I love fall clothes too! 😀 As for what happened at school, I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I can DEFINITELY relate. Mackenzie has made fun of my clothes too many times to count! And then she just sashays away. I HATE it when that girl sashays! ☹️!! Here’s a little news for people like the girl at your school. STORES SELL THE SAME STUFF TO LOTS OF PEOPLE. There are probably at least a hundred people in your town who have the same boots, jeans, and shirts. AND, if this girl was wearing the same clothes as you, who’s to say that SHE’S not the one copying YOU, right? I mean, I’m sure she wasn’t, and you’re obviously too nice of a person to hit her with a perfectly logical comeback. But you have to admit, I’ve got a point. (PS: I always think of comebacks for Mackenzie AFTER she walks away. It’s SOOO annoying!) I want to tell you not to worry, but I know that’s easier said than done. But here’s the thing: I’ve been embarrassed like A MILLION times. Or one-hundred million times. It’s totally mortifying when it happens, but the good news is that it’ll pass and you get over it. Here are some things to keep in mind: The people at your school likely know that this girl is a meanie. They won’t believe that you were copying or stalking her. Your crush isn’t that gullible (at least I hope not. But if so, you need to find a new crush who isn’t!).Try not to even mention it at school. Sometimes bullies are hoping you’ll have a big reaction like crying or saying something back, just so they can keep bullying you. If she brings up the clothes thing again, your best bet is to just roll your eyes and ignore her (although I’ll admit, sometimes I can’t help snapping at Mackenzie when she’s being a spoiled diva).Lean on your friends! My friends Chloe and Zoey are always there for me. (And by that, I mean in the janitor’s closet where we have our emergency friendship meetings! 😀)Above all, don’t let this girl ruin your fav season and the clothes that go with it! Wear your fuzzy sweaters, boots and fun long-sleeved shirts! OH! And tell your mom what happened—if she’s feeling sympathetic, I’m thinking you could get a decaf pumpkin-spice latte out of it 😉! Okay, readers, what do you think? Have you ever had a fashion disaster or embarrassing moment at school? What did you do about it? Tell us all about it in the comments section below!

bibi says December 2, 2020 at 3:52 pm I think you should stand up to that Mackenzie girl I mean she should (not you) cry her self a river, build he her self a bridge, and GET OVER IT.
#Nikkiislikeme says December 2, 2020 at 11:44 am There was this mean popular-ish girl in my school who never left me alone always blocked me from my friends and bullied my just like Mackenzie and she would always talk like Mackenzie sashay, talk how bad my cloths look, she is just like Mackenzie but just a little popular, its good to ask Nikki anything because she has been through it too so…once the dork diaries tales of not so dorky drama queen came out Mackenzie and my bully left at the same time but the one thing is, I didn’t have a diary so I’m like Nikki but I’m also not because she loves her diary and I write songs in any diary I get.
Flawless4444 says December 2, 2020 at 11:34 am No offence Nikki, but It’s rude to say that she needs to get a new crush if he’s gullible. (Under #1 for your list of sloutions.)
Twisted Cherry says December 2, 2020 at 10:44 am Thank you for CuteSparkle_*Twix* and WINTER101! for the welcomes!! Can I ask you both a question? I have a BFF that argues with my other friend. I always try to break it up, but recently, my BFF got really mad at me and left. My friend tried to comfort me, but I’m so hurt, because my BFF called me really mean names and said I was the worst! What should I do?? Please help me!
Da viNky female says December 2, 2020 at 8:23 am Ms Mac-face doesn’t REALLY expect that anyone will believe her right? I am SOOO sorry <3
Lol Girl says December 2, 2020 at 12:08 am Why don’t you tell that girl at her face “Hey I ain’t the one who copied you. You copied me!”
Polly says December 1, 2020 at 9:47 pm Dear Nikki My biggest dream is to become a celebrity. I have the potential for it too. I am seriously not bragging. All my teachers and classmates always tell me that I have a perfect figure and lovely voice but the problem is that my parents are pressuring me to become a doctor. I don’t want to disappoint them or give up on my dream. What should I do
Marinettne/Ladybug says December 1, 2020 at 9:08 pm well i actually never had a fashion disataer and if one of my classmates is wearing the same shrit as i am we are like cool we are twinsz
Dorks4Life! says December 1, 2020 at 7:43 pm At my school I was the one who came up with the flip shirts with sequins. Now other people say that someone ELSE came up with it. I mean they could have but yeah. Now I just forget about it because that is the best thing I can do 🙂
Lilypad270 says December 1, 2020 at 5:51 pm That girl must be really mean! You are not a stalker at all! Remember you are one of a kind!
Evachu says December 1, 2020 at 4:35 pm I agree with Niki too, at least my probs are not about clothes cause we have uniforms (sadly)
