each lady looks good in diffrent clothing. if you dont like what you are wearing it shows!!


i can give one tip and i will give this one to any woman that wants to feel sexier

GO TO VICTORIA'S SECRET AND BUY!!! Some nice boy shorts ( for guys that dont know what these are i shun you!) or panties and bra and so on... if you feel that you look good wearing these under the cloths the personality and all other vibes are much more apealing

---

nick, everything you said is right on!

I don't dress up all that often, but I would if I had more reason to! Mostly i wear nice fitting jeans and either baby tees or any shirts with with a smooth breathy material... If it feels good on your skin, you'll definitely feel more confident wearing it.

And, Nick, Jason agrees with you... he loves my boy shorts! :D

I'm soooo glad I don't haft to jack with dry cleaners and lint rollers anymore!

My definition of dressed up is now a pair of jeans that doesn't have a hole, and or paint on them... and I'll sport a "cute" top...

I'm guilty of using make-up... at LEAST mascara.. I have blondeish eyelashes... Blah...and I LOVE smelling "good"... :D
LONG gone are the days of that natural young glow! :rofl:



As for hair... I usually brush it RIGHT before I officially have dreds... :oops: but I do wash it every day... sometimes I'll put some highlights in if I need a boost... and shaving!?!?!?

Even less... :weirdface

Yea...

Rapture just brought to my attention that I made up a compleeeetelly new word! :oops: OOPS!

Ok, my wife brings me with her when she goes clothes shopping and she doesn't have to drag me cuz for some reason I know style and she likes a man's eye. Well kinda... she says I'm 1/4 gay... I can pick an outfit, I can match wall colors to trim and carpet, I'm just not into the whole boofing a guy thing.

SO, an easy way to clean up and look good is first and foremost a pair of black stretch pants flared. You can wear any comfortable shoe, from a boot to sandals, with any height heel. For top... there are plenty of flattering things that are form fitting but not uncomfortable. If you're self conscious about your waistline, wear something with a busy pattern or something that kinda hour-glasses under the bra but is flowy in the middle. If your hair isn't specatcular, pull it back in a ponytail, but a high ponytail... show off that neck! And a light perfume or shampoo wouldn't hurt. Maybe Heavenly by Victoria Secret, or Herbal Escense.

Some good stores: Forever 21, Kohls, Mervyns... more expensive Macys, Nordstromes...

Ok, now that THAT'S over with, I'm going to go drink a beer and start up my chainsaw cuz I have a falling tree in my backyard that needs cutting down... and I need to go buy some lumber cuz I need to rebuild our fence. Where's my hammer...

I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl. Of course it helps that I work at a game company testing software and that's the standard dress code for the place. :gj:

I've never really bothered with makeup and perfume just makes me sneeze so can't help you there. If you're comfortable in jeans and t-shirt, pick up a really nice pair of jeans and some cute tops. That will go far in changing the look. I've also found that boots or low heels are good, too.

So, I guess I'm just an old hippie. I wear amber or patchouli oil. I have long dark brown hair, kind of thick, and at times wavy; starting to get gray streaks which I think is pretty cool. I wear Carhartt's and cowgirl boots when I go out to the ranch to work. When it gets too hot out there for pants, I'll wear cut-off's and boots.

When I'm not at the ranch I am in more of a city and also in grad school. I usually throw on levis cargo pants and a tie-dye shirt or tie-dye sweatshirt. When the weather is warmer it's shorts and t's all the way- I like American Eagle stuff. If I have to go to a colloquium (like I do in Arizona this June) I'll do a casual blazer and uber casual skirt. I like the stuff in the Sundance catalog and try to find it (much) cheaper in other places.

When I go out with hubby I like to get stuff from Victoria's Secret and turn it into an outfit, or part of an outfit. I'll get a corset and put it on over jeans or a skirt. Sometimes they'll have an awesome slip that looks like a dress and so I make it a dress and get some strappy shoes.

Point is, I am nearly 49 years old, a mom to 4 kids, a grandma to 4 grandkids, and I'm not giving in to a number. I look good, I feel good, and I am damn hot!!! :banana: And so are all of the rest of you~ no matter what you choose to wear. WE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :gj:

Oh and it had to wash well in case somebody either peed or puked on me! :D

With my youngest now 6 I am looking forward to the day when I won't dress to hide the grubbiness that comes with motherhood but you know what.....

when that day finally comes, I think I'll be a bit sad too. :tears:

Oh well, there's always grandbabies to look forward too! :)

Amen. I couldn't agree more. My youngest is 7 months and my clothes have taken a turn for the worse with her constantly spitting up on them. And also being a mom for so many years as well I've pretty much given up on dressing spiffy everyday. Jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, sneakers, flip-flops in the summer is my thing. The only luxury I afford myself for everyday is doing my hair and putting on some eyeliner. So I dont "look" tired all the time LOL. I say, as long as your presentable be comfortable.

Actually, you made it up quite some time ago! :D Check out your reply to this thread:
http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...highlight=haft

There are a total of 65 threads on bp.net that have the word "haft" in them.

Now before you wonder why in the world I know this or care, I saw this last night and was going to reply but decided I was too tired. Then today I couldn't remember what thread I saw it in. So I searched for "haft". Go ahead and wonder why I thought it was important enough to search for it, because I'm not sure I can answer that! :oops:

My boyfriend teases me all the time when I start talking about "hafting" to do things. I grew up in So. Cal., so I assume it is something I picked up there.

I live in So Cal. I've never picked up on that word...

Granted I was born and raised in Nor Cal, so "Hella" was part of my vocabulary for a long time...

I aint picky about what I wear, but it helps to have a friend that likes to dress up. She will get you to wear all those nice clothes after beating you with a leg of lamb.

It also helps to NOT BE IN A STABLE RELATIONSHIP. When your comfortable with someone you truley care for, you won't be motivated to look cute. (because frankly you dont care anymore!)

Some girls always like to look cute, to make herself feel better, but those of us that are comfortable with our bodies often don't care what others think.

Tips, when you buy what you like to wear, (ie. hoodies, jeans, shoes, hats) Buy things that make you look good. Don't just buy it because it's on sale, but buy it because your attracted to it, you like how it fits, and you also think you look damn sexy in it.
Let me reiterate: BECAUSE YOU FEEL DAMN SEXY IN IT (that is the most important part of dressing, you want to feel GOOD about yourself!)


That is just about the hardest thing to do, but when you put some time and money into it, the outcome is worth it!!!
