How can I look pretty but still have my style?

I really only feel like myself when I’m wearing just what I like. So I end up wearing plain jeans (not skinny or flared) and a t shirt (just whatever’s around, usually my music camp t-shirt xD) and running sneakers and a black sweatshirt. Which I’m ok with. The thing is I feel like I don’t look enough like a girl!! There are girls I really like, most of whom have like a street style (if that makes any sense) (but I’m not like that, I’m simpler than that) but they can get away with black jeans and loose t shirts everyday because most of them aren’t stick skinny and actually have woman-ish bodies, lol. So I don’t know how to look more like a girl, while staying away from “typical” stuff.

But I’m 14 almost 15, I’m getting older and I’m not completely happy with wearing t shirts and jeans every single day. So I’m looking for some more clothes, hopefully ones which will make me look attractive and suit me well. However most girls’ clothing isn’t anything I could wear. I’m looking at stuff like

(BQ: which color do you like best) and I don’t really like stuff from “popular” clothing brands lol. I pretty much only get stuff from L.L.Bean, Old Navy, Paragon and occasionally american eagle. I feel like I want to wear stuff like that all the time, but at the same time I am a girl and I want people to know that (but without resorting to stupid pink stuff lol) I’m like a 34B, but I’m also really tiny (5′ and 90 lbs.) so I don’t really have much of those feminine curves…

Also my hair is really thick, it’s a few inches past my shoulders and I tie it back in a low ponytail literally every day because it just feels weird most other ways and I’m not comfortable with it hanging down (especially as it gets really fluffy and in my face). I also don’t really want to cut it too much though. What about putting it in a braid? Just like 1 normal braid in the back. Nothing too fancy. I feel like some of my attempts at style are kind of dated and boring, lol. Anyway any good ideas would be welcome, again I won’t do anything really “girly” I just want to look a little more pretty the way I like!

I tend to be oversensitive and have some anxiety problems as it is and I start to feel really out-of-touch with myself if I’m wearing something I’m not comfortable so this is sort of important :/

Anyway so far I’m looking for some flannel-ish plaid shirts (in dark colors only. please tell me if this is weird…) and I think moccasins are cute. But I need some more stuff too. I really look out-of-place in oxford button-down shirts, and I really feel weird and not comfortable in women’s-tailored shirts but in men’s shirts I don’t look like a girl. Runnin’ out of ideas here xD Thanks.
And nothing lacy/frilly or pastel colors. :)
