Looking for a movie that came out around the same time as this one..

It was probably late 80s early 90s, this teen or tween girl would always change her outfit as soon as she got to school - she'd leave the house in something boring to fool her parents, and then as soon as she got to school she'd change into like a mini and a boob tube and frizzy hair..

Then one day she forgets that it's Yearbook Picture Day but she's already changed into her 'cool' outfit and it's too late to change so she ends up getting photographed like that. The camera keeps clicking even as she's getting up from the chair.. :)

I remember ONE line from the movie and one line only, something her friend says to her in the cafeteria: "--and that girl is 100% pure polyester."

NOTE: It's not that episode of Degrassi Junior High.. :)

Tiptoe by the window, by the window that is where I'll be.

There's a scene like that in Teen Witch, leaves the house nerdy, undresses to something cool at a party.

Ha. Funny you mentioned DJH. I was totally thinking of Stephanie Kaye while I was reading that. I searched but couldn't find the movie.

UPDATE: It is not Teen Witch, Degrassi Junior High, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, 13 Going On 30, Heathers, Valley Girl, Wish Upon A Star, or Hairspray :(((

That quote totally sounds familiar (although a lot of the yearbook part seems pretty typical for 80s movies)..... maybe http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094063/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Student Exchange..... a disney movie from around the same time - nerdy high school students reinvent themselves by pretending to be exchange students.
