I think being stylish is not about being dressed up versus being casual, I think its about being pulled together and looking nice even if you are simply wearing flats, jeans and a sweater. I mean it tates the same ammount of time to put on jeans as it does sweatpants adn it takes the same ammount of time to put on a nice looking sweater as it does a ratty sweatshirt. It is actually quicker to put on ballet flats than tennis shoes, and the ballet flats are so much more sophisticated
to me "doing the fashion" isn't about trying to impress anyone or getting all dolled up, but instead about trying to present a neat, clean, well groomed appearance to the world. Always putting your best foot forward so to speak.
makeup is not so much something you want to do to add to your appearance, but to hide any flaws. Some young people have perfect skin, they don't need makeup except perhaps mascara. only with age does skin discolor and lips fade, and these problems should be corrected with makeup, otherwise you are showing the world your flaws
I do wish more girls would do something with there hair. I don't like sloppy ponytails all the time. If you are poing to put it up, why not try some kind of bun which is nearly as easy and ten times as chic?
I wear heels a lot, but I would never expect other people to. I wear heels because i love them, and I find them sexy and powerful and femenine, and that's my thing- but of course they aren't for everyone, and there are lots of ways to look nice without them. It's just a matter of butting a little effort into it
I have no problem with people dressing casually, I just wish they would do it with more class.
