I believe that every single woman is beautiful, and I’m not referring to inner beauty. The reason why so many women see themselves as ugly and inadequate is because society has come up with ridiculous definitions of beauty that only a small percentage of women are able to attain; and most of those only after the ever-so-popular “complete makeovers.” We have been led to believe that nature cheated us, and so we spend hundreds of dollars adding this and removing that because deep inside we really want to be gorgeous. Sisters, acceptance is the key. Making peace with what you do have and forgetting about what you don’t have is the first step towards developing a healthy self concept. Remember this simple rule: always look your best no matter where you’re going, because when a woman looks good on the outside it makes her feel good on the inside.
Dress for the occasion. Looking your best doesn’t mean that you need to be overdressed. There is a time and a place for every outfit. Learn to figure it out.
Know your size. Wearing clothing that is too big or too tight is hardly ever a good idea. Don’t be afraid to try on the garments you’re purchasing because in the end it can save you a lot of time and money. Ill-fitting attire gives the impression that you are careless.

| Cambria - I agree. It's easy to get overwhelmed in stores. What I try to do is remember what I went in there to buy. Sometimes I will even do research online so I know exactly what the store has, and therefore cannot get sidetracked. Also, I would pack your closet with the basics. This is my problem because it's not as fun to buy plain black shirts etc. But once you have it, then you can go crazy buying items that are more fun. | |

| It seems like every time I go to get dressed there is always one piece missing. Either the jeans and the top are great but I don't have the shoes. Or the shoes and top work but I don't have the slacks. I wish whoever wrote this article would take me shopping. I need help. Every time I decide I'm going to buy some clothing that is more my age, I decide I want to look like a woman you know. . .I go into the store, I get all overwhelmed and end up buying the same immature clothing I alway do. How should I stay on track and focus on the things I really need that I can match up with other things to look and feel good. Does anyone know. | |

| I am going to start focusing on my assets. Its so funny how women think. If we have straight fine thin hair we want bouncy thick curly hair. If we have no breasts we save up to by some. I'm honestly looking in to Doctors right now. And yet four of my girlfriends that have large breasts have gotten a reduction. I can't wear certain things because I have no breasts, and some of my girlfriends envy me not having to wear a bra. This article is great. | |

| I put so much pressure on myself to look good, however keeping up with fashion these days can be overwhelming. A lot of times when I get up in the morning I wish I could just put on sweats and a tee shirt everyday because of how much effort I feel it takes for me to look good. I like how this article talks about dressing good to feel good. Its true, when I force myself to put in a little bit of effort, my confidence rises a little. I'm 5'4 with very large breasts, so finding the right look can be tricky at times. I really appreciate this article. I didn't think I would be interested in the topic until I started reading it. | |
