OP, I understand how you feel. I used to be in a really similar place.

I truly believe that every woman has a unique individual type of beauty, and that in order to look your best and feel your most confident and comfortable, you need to discover exactly what type of beauty YOU already have within you, and enhance it through your style.

It is possible that the specific style you're aiming for just isn't YOU -- but that doesn't mean you can never feel like a beautiful, attractive, feminine woman.

Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Greta Garbo were all very different women with very difference style essences, but they were all equally incredible and beautiful. If you are an Audrey deep down, you will never feel 100% natural and comfortable when attempting to dress like a Marilyn. But when Audrey dresses like Audrey, she maximizes her beauty by staying true to herself. Does that make sense?

Now, I haven't seen the movie you're talking about and I have no idea who you are, but it sounds like it could be possible that you're aiming for a refined, reserved Classic style when you're actually a fun, sensual Natural or a sassy Gamine.

The world of style and identity can be really confusing and stressful, but once you know who you are and how to express that, it's genuinely life-changing. A lot of people scoff at style analysis/identity systems (and true, a lot of systems are far too limited and a lot of analysts don't have a great eye) -- but looking into some of these systems can help you start to discover your own true style.

You can do it, OP! I fully believe that you can be the gorgeous, fabulous, feminine woman you want to be. It just takes a lot of experimenting, soul-searching, and trial-and-error -- and sometimes you need a helping hand! I really love chatting to people about style and helping people discover what works for them, so if you want, drop me a line at my Tumblr and I'd love to chat! I could point you in the direction of some really helpful resources and great supportive communities, if you're interested.

*derp, I should have specified that this passage:

"...it could be possible that you're aiming for a refined, reserved Classic style when you're actually a fun, sensual Natural or a sassy Gamine."

is just an example, and it may be totally, completely off in terms of you and your situation. Just a disclaimer. :)
