Summarize the following:
Rather than conform to the norm of shopping for new, full price items at big box stores or the mall, head to your local thrift store for secondhand clothing. Most hipsters do not have a lot of extra cash for clothing and often shop at charity stores to save money and find unique items no one else will have. You can also go to independent clothing shops in your area to support local businesses and vendors. Hipsters value independent thinking and independent business, so supporting local clothing stores is one way to give back to the community and avoid corporations and big business. Many hipster girls wear vintage dresses in floral patterns or other bold prints with black or colored tights. Look for long floral dresses and shorter print dresses or shift dresses that you can pair with tights or knee socks for cold winter days. You can then wear the same dresses with bare legs and sandals in the summer. Vintage band t-shirts are also popular with hipster girls, especially shirts that feature bands from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, like the Rolling Stones, Cream, Blondie, and The Cure. Look for vintage band t-shirts at your local thrift store. You can also find band shirts online through online vendors who specialize in vintage band t-shirts. Fitted blouses with interesting details and striped tops are also popular items for hipster girls. Look for tops that have a bit of flair, but keep in mind that you can also dress up your clothing with accessories to complete your hipster girl look. Many hipster girls will wear jean cut offs during the warmer months with a band t-shirt or a crop top. You can buy jean cut offs at a local shop or thrift store, or make your own cut offs by cutting up a pair of old jeans. The typical hipster cut off style for girls is at the mid to upper thigh. You can get a more tomboy look by wearing cut offs that are just above your knee. In the colder months, you can wear tights underneath a pair of cut offs for a look that is comfortable and warm. A typical everyday outfit for hipster girls is a pair of blue or black skinny jeans worn with an oversized plaid shirt or sweater. You can also wear a pair of black leggings with your oversized sweater or shirt. Black leggings are staples in a hipster girl's wardrobe. You can find vintage plaid shirts and sweaters at your local thrift store, often in fun and unique designs. Oversized plaid shirts can be found in the men's section of thrift stores. You can also tie plaid shirts around your waist to really nail the hipster girl style. Look for sweaters that have funny, ironic sayings on them or cute images of animals. Ugly Christmas sweaters are also popular among hipsters, during Christmas and in the off season. The layering garment of choice for hipster girls is a slim denim vest, worn over a band t-shirt or a vintage dress. Top this look with a vintage leather jacket with interesting details like zippers, buttons, studs, or fringe. You can also layer multiple items for a more unique look. For example, you can try layering a leather jacket over a plaid shirt, or wearing a jacket and tying a plaid shirt around your waist.

summary: Shop at secondhand stores and independent shops. Look for vintage dresses and band t-shirts. Buy jean cut offs or make your own cut offs. Combine skinny jeans or leggings with oversized tops. Wear denim vests and leather jackets.

Summarize the following:
There are several types of stocks that can be bought from Chinese exchanges (for example, A-shares, B-shares, and H-shares). Different regulations, fees, and procedures apply to each one. You can research different types of stocks and information about Chinese stock exchanges by reviewing databases such as Morningstar, Barron's, and Bloomberg, as well as online stock trading services. Think about choosing stocks that have the right cost, risk level, diversity, and potential returns for your particular investment portfolio. If you are relying on translated sources for information about the Chinese market, keep in mind that the sources might not be the most current or detailed. Since foreign markets can be particularly complicated, it is a good idea to seek advice from a financial professional before investing in them. When you are ready to buy shares in Chinese companies, contact your broker, who can guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. With internet-based stock trading, you can also purchase stocks on your own in many cases. Visit your online investment service for details on which options are available to you. Information about fees, limits on the number of shares you can buy, and/or minimum numbers of shares you must purchase at a time can be obtained from your broker or online trading service. This information will be listed for each stock that is for sale. As with any investment, there is some level of risk with buying stock in Chinese companies. No one can predict with complete certainty which stocks will succeed, but you can make an educated decision getting the best information possible from your broker or independent research. A-shares are a class of stocks in Chinese companies that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. These can only be purchased by residents of mainland China, and by certain Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFIIs). A-shares are quoted in renminbi, the official currency of China. Individuals cannot become QFIIs. These are designated by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and are very large foreign financial companies such as Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Scotiabank, Deutsche Bank, and Lehman Brothers. B-shares are a class of stocks in Chinese companies that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. Unlike A-shares, these can be purchased by foreign investors. The number of companies offering B-shares is relatively small. B-shares of Chinese stocks are quoted in foreign currencies. B-shares listed on the Shanghai stock exchange are quoted in United States dollars, while those listed on the Shenzhen stock market are quoted in Hong Kong dollars. H-shares are a class of stocks in companies incorporated in China but which trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx). These can be purchased from the HKEx by foreign investors. Many companies that have H-share listings also have A-share listings. Effectively, this provides a way of purchasing stock in Chinese companies that are otherwise barred from foreign investors. Shares are sold through the HKEx in bulk groups known as "board lots." The size of a stock's board lot ranges from 50-100,000 shares. Shares in companies listed on the HKEx must be bought in multiples of the stock's board lot amount. The number of companies offering H-shares is limited. You can check the HKEx website in order to see which companies list H-shares, their stock codes, board lot amount, and other pertinent information. These stocks are issued by companies that are not incorporated in China, but which trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Red Chip stocks provide exposure to the Chinese market because companies offering them are owned by the state, provinces, or municipalities of China. On the other hand, this means that Red Chip stocks are not investments in private Chinese businesses, which may or may not be one of your financial goals. P-chip stocks are issued by companies based outside of China, but which trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and meet certain criteria proving their ties to the Chinese market. The criteria stipulate that to issue P-Chip stock, a company must: Be controlled by Chinese individuals Derive more than eighty percent of its revenue from China Allocate more than sixty percent of its assets to China
summary: Research to learn which stocks are available and right for you. Contact your broker or investment service when you are ready to purchase stocks. Purchase A-shares of Chinese stocks. Purchase B-shares of Chinese stocks. Purchase H-shares of Chinese stocks. Purchase Red Chip stocks. Purchase P-Chip stocks.
