I think my hair and clothes say exactly who i am..
I went to a private school and had to wear a full uniform, have my hair a certain colour and a certain style, no makeup, no nails no NOTHING for 6 years. So I started finding my own style very early on. Mainly clothes, but then moved to hair styles and colours.
Im a pretty 'real' person tho...pretty much what you get is what i am...I don't wear makeup...i think it makes me more natural...more our there if you get me...like im not hiding behind everything
but at the same time...its like there is just more and more behind each layer...now i sound really up myself..sorry.
so basically, im proud of my style and me and who i am, and i wouldn't want to hide it for anyone!!!
I am often told by people that I am not what I first appeared to be. A lot of people say that when they first me they are intimdated by me! Gosh knows why!
I've been told on several occasions that people view me as "rough" but find out later that I am far from that.
I know that I do guard myself religously when I meet new people. And I don't give all of myself right away.
I have days where I am satisfied with my appreance. And I have days where I think I am fat and ugly. Satisfcation generally outweighs dissatisfaction.
As I get older I try to take better care of myself and do things which make me feel pretty and feminine. Some may see it as vain but I now like to go out with my hair looking nice and with eye make-up on. I wear clothes that flatter my figure which I would say is fuller and voluptuous, but also make me feel pretty or sexy.
I guess at the end of the day as long as you are happy with who you are and what you look like.....thats all the matters. F*ck everyone else. We are all individual and thats how it should be!
Not at all. I have hair that I can't do a thing with so have it cropped short & its platinum blonde at the moment. I wish I had jet black straight hair but it's never going to happen. I'm short & muscular rather than the tall, slinky supermodel I see in my head! I would really love to be classic but just can't seem to pull it off, tends to end up a bit dull or quirky. Having said that though, I do like being confident in my skin. Confidence is sexy as hell & I like to think that whatever I wear or look like, if I walk around as confident as a pea**** then people will buy it
I guess people would see me as a boring SAHM, because that is what I look like and I am boring!!! That sounds really poor me. but that is honestly how I feel atm.
Yep, I reckon, with me, what you see is what you get. And I always wear sensible shoes (the only exception is weddings) and I think I am a very sensible person. And perhaps boring too (and possibly not so sensible at weddings ).
The hugest of hugs to you MD and anyone else that needs them.
Yes - it took me a long time to get here, but now, what you see is what you get! It took me travelling overseas by myself in my twenties to really become comfortable in my own skin and style. I always hung out with 'alternative' (for lack of a better word) people and I guess I always felt I never lived up to other peoples style - iykwim? When I travelled by myself I learnt that people liked me for who I am and I returned with a true sense of myself. I can change my hairstyle often but I always have a real sense of 'me' if that makes sense?
Hmmm... yesterday I wore Bond's trackies, a hoodie, no makeup and started the day with wet hair as I washed it in the shower. I took the kids to school, shopped for groceries and cleaned the house. I think the way I looked reflected who I am... a busy mum who has more important things to do in the morning than spend time in front of the mirror.
Today, I had an appointment with my OB. I straightened my hair, put on a bit of makeup and wore jeans with a nice top and some low heels. I looked very different from yesterday, but I think my appearance still reflected who I am.
Tonight we went out for dinner and I applied slightly heavier makeup and wore slacks with an evening-ish top and heels... I'm beginning to feel like I have multiple personalities!!
My point is, in any of those three outfits I would have been perceived differently by a stranger, but I am still the same person and I feel comfortable with that regardless of how my exterior looks. I have been told by people I know that when they first met me they thought I was a snob until they actually spoke to me (but that I am not at all!!). I think (hope!) that is a perception of material belongings more than personality... I wonder if I looked like a snob in my trackies with my hair everywhere, or if someone else pegged me as a bogan?!
I think my appearance does reflect who I am... because I am many different things. This thread is an excellent reminder to not judge a person by their appearance!
