Do you not want to be a preppy? Then you should read this artical and find out how to be a skater chick. This may work for guys too.
[edit] Steps

1. Dump most pink clothing from your wardrobe, go shopping at hottopic.com or rocabilia.com. They are some good sites to go shopping for skater clothing. Don't just shop at these places try other clothing stores.
2. Get shoes with the heels white and the bottom different colors, make sure the shoes are just a half of size too big. With these shoes wear capris. Capris go great with these kind of shoes. You can also wear skater shoes-know you know were the name Skater shoes came from.
3. Learn to skateboard, hangout with the boys and act more like a tomboy than a girlygirl. But don't act gothic though it will change you completely.
