it bothers me sometimes what we do for vanity. we being females in general. ok, so no matter how low maintenance i think i am...i still do things for vanity. like squeezing my feet into pointy toed shoes...something i managed to refrain from for a goodly amount of time before i succumbed. i try to justify it by thinking that i HAVE to look good for work in the retail field. looking good for everything else is different. so begins the vanity process.
the hours spent in front of the bathroom mirror, the numerous shopping trips, the swipe of the credit card. is it all really worth the time and effort? does anyone really notice the foundation you use, what kind of shoes you're wearing, the colour coordination of your outift?
men, in particular are more interested in what your tits look like and whether you're wearing a g-string. i'm sure the males reading this blog will be in uproar at such stereotypical generalisation. *shrugs*
but back to it. are vanity and comfort mutually exclusive? can you be comfortable and still look good? i'm sure you can. but to go that extra mile, to look that much better takes a bit of pain. in a society preoccupied with image...is it better to go with the flow...or throw it all away in favour of your trackies?
and ending on that...i just bought a dress that makes me look HOT. BWAHAHAHAHA!

You know, we're really not that fussy.
Depends on the guy. I'm not gonna say that guys don't look at your TnA, because they do, but some guys look at your fashion sense as an extension of your character.
Which I think it's not too far off the mark. If someone goes around in trackies I think it's fair to assume that the person is layed back and has a cbf attitude (it doesnt neccessarily mean they don't have a sense of style, they might get all dressed up for the weekends). On the other hand, if someone HAS to put heaps of mackup on, all the time, and they ALWAYS dress like their on a first date, I think it's pretty safe to assume then that the person is pretty concerned about how other percieve them. You may even go so far as to contend that the person has self-confidence/image issues.
More personally though, there are kinds of fashions I don't like, and I do notice when someone (guy or girl) wears something, or is trying to create a 'look', that doesnt suit them. And that can be a turnoff. Wear something that reflects who you are inside.
I don't think it's that hard (but then again, I'm not a girl). I read you should have a few classic items of clothes, rotate those, and use your other stuff to complement them.
I guess the way we looks says as much about us as what we say or the thing we do.
