Teenage Shopping Challenge

Calling all middle school students! Take the Googolplex Teenage Shopping Challenge: How would you spend $150 on clothes for school?

Stalked by Googolplex's photographers like stars with their very own paparazzi, Candace, Haley, Justin and Erik meet the charge in Madison, Wisc, and set out on a marathon mall crawl!

The rules:

For three of our four teenagers, the first day of school next fall already presents an extra-big fashion challenge. Haley, Candace and Erik are all starting high school for the first time in August. There's a lot riding on the decisions these shoppers make.

Follow our shoppers as they take the challenge. Click on one of the photos below to start shopping!

The wrap

Each of our participants displayed a clear sense of personal style, and set about selecting items that fit the image each wanted to project.
