(Anonymous) 2013-06-19 02:06 am (UTC)(link)For instance, I feel hella feminine and comfortable with my gender as a woman, and fairly regularly get comments on how nice I look (not bragging here, as you will see). Despite this, I'm mentally allergic to hair straighteners, can't do a braid to save my life and my hair styles literally consist only of out, ponytail or bun. Bobby-pins confuse me. Similarly, my make-up routine is just BB cream, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick - and that's if I want to look nice. Maybe a bit of eye-shadow or eye-liner at night, but nothing fancy. When I want to try something new, I look up a make-up tutorial on youtube and see whether I can be bothered, lol. Re: clothes, I just wear the colours and styles that I like - I just naturally like wearing clothes that emphasize my waist (sometimes a form fitting top can do all the work for you, whether it's paired with a flow-y skirt and heels or jeans and sneakers). Basically, I'm immensely low maintenance and purposefully so, because I have better things to do with my time. But I still manage to have a feminine style.
I've also seen a lot of my tomboyish friends gradually incorporate make-up and tailored clothes into their style as they've got older and joined the workplace (PBQ, damn you) - so I know it can be done looking from the outside as well. They found it pretty helpful asking people at shops for advice - that's what shop assistants are there for, after all! Working out your body type and colours will really help in this, btw - it will mean you'll have a guide to what to try on that you know should flatter you, instead of blindly picking things off racks and then getting disappointed when they look off. (We've all been there - my achilles heel is shift dresses, which will never look good on my unless I cut off the sides of my hips, and yet I still try them on.)
Tl;dr: take it slow, OP, and don't stress too much, just wear what works and then work from there. Dressing femininely is just a fashion like any other, and one that anyone can do - they just have to tailor it to their personal style.
