What do you think of my style/appearance?
I don't have low self esteem, I'm just curious how strangers think of me. So here are a few of my pictures, give me a rating and your personal thoughts. Thanks. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk61/queen_of_hearts_101/8cda4372432737ea188754838c3bf2fe.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk61/queen_of_hearts_101/1549894_4.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk61/queen_of_hearts_101/1549894_2.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk61/queen_of_hearts_101/10426604_914577.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk61/queen_of_hearts_101/10426607_962495.jpg
Do you think appearance is everything?
I like your question. I personally believe that appearance affects everybody's life. How you dress and hygiene definitely affects the job you may get. An employer will most likely give the job to the person who cares about how they dress and look opposed to the one who really doesn't take the time to look nice. If you have style people may give you more respect, but you don't have to have the best and most expensive clothes to acquire respect from others that's for sure. I don't want to sound too shallow. Dressing nice and looking good boosts my self confidence tremendously. A nice outfit that looks great on my body makes me feel great, it can change my attitude. My style is very classic, I love to layer clothes in the winter and wear scarves and gloves. I am a huge fan of purses also. So style and appearance is important to me but I try not to let it control how I judge a person.
Do you like your appearance?
Well that pretty much depends. to be honest sometimes I feel like I look really amazing but on the other hand sometimes i feel like I'm the most ugliest human who has ever lived on this Earth I know I'm over exaggerating a bit.Actually my thoughts on my appearance depends on how people around me percieve meFor example:A girl came to me and said“ Girl your height is amazing”I would literally stand in the mirror and just admire my overall personality..“I am beautiful”Someother girl approached me and said“You will look amazing if you loose some weight”I'd curse myself for eating a chocolate 2 days ago…“Gosh I look ugly”I'm pretty sure you must be thinking this girl is crazy af….but hey I know you must have been through this stage of over thinking at least once in your life…well I go through this every day.If you'd ask me right now how I feel about my appearance presently I would say“I love myself eventhough I have a pimple on my left cheek my hair is down and falling over my face giving me a total Bollywood movie vibe.why? Because today my grandma told me that I have her facial features and yaa she looks beautiful ” let us see how long this confidence of mine lasts ..If you are willing to judge me here I am a simple girl who thinks she looks”theek thaak"..
What is your ideal personal style (clothing and appearance)? How close is it to your current style?
My own personal style definitely goes against what is typical for my demographic, as I’m over 40, a father, a husband, an engineer, and a churchgoer. I like to wear shiny materials, lots of paisley, animal prints, and other prints, and lots of bright colors. I hardly ever dress in a way that would be considered conservative except for important office meetings or funerals or something like that, but I tend to dress in a put-together way pretty much every time I leave the house. For instance, I’ll often wear leather pants with an iridescent paisley shirt and a black velvet blazer to work or church.I don’t know anyone else like me; most everyone else I know chooses clothes that are inconspicuous, such as gray or beige khakis, normal fit denim blue jeans, polo shirts, and neutral or blue shirts. They seem to choose clothes based on what’s comfortable, practical, cheap, and professionally/socially safe. I, on the other hand, choose outfits to reflect my personality and to have fun. Fortunately, my friends, acquaintances, and coworkers seem to accept me being myself and seem to understand I’m not trying to impress anyone but am just having fun when I pick out each day’s outfit. (Thinking beyond clothes, I also put some purple streaks in my hair last spring; I’m hoping to do that again.)I’m fortunate that my ideal personal style has become my current style. It took a long time to feel comfortable wearing the clothes I wanted to wear. I used to worry that people would misunderstand me and think me weird, eccentric, or arrogant. However, I’m lucky to have discovered that my friends will love me no matter what and that people appreciate when others show uniqueness. I used to worry what people at church would think, but people have mostly been very encouraging. I’m also lucky to be at a workplace that gives employees a lot of leeway.In any case, I’m glad society seems to be becoming more accepting of people’s personal styles. For some people, that means wearing what’s comfortable and cheap and easy to wash and that avoids attention. For others, that means being sort of artistic with their outfit choices. I feel blessed to be in a spot in my life where I can have fun with my appearance and just be myself, and I wish that for everyone else.
My appearance...Depressing me :(?
How do i get over this, I hate the way i look.I see other girls my age and theyre all so pretty and it just saddens me to think that ill never be anyweher near as pretty as them.Reasons: Im 14 years old, and I'm as flat as a board,Unlike other girls i see,My face is alot longer than any girl i see.My legs are short and kinda big. I have horrible posture,my shoulders hang down.I'm very knock kneed,and ive tried fixing it ,but wont work even after 2 years.My teeth cave inwards,which leads to my lips being thin and just plain ugly. Ive got a weird shaped nose, thats so bolbousy. My skin seems discolored and very pale. My eyebrows are thick, and my hair is almost receeding because i always wear it in a plain ponytail, which looks terrible when you have long hair and no bangs. Ive tried losing weight, but im not huge, but my thighs are big and my mom says i'm not fat, but i really look like it. Please, any ideas what i can do to look even the littlest bit prettier? or less self conscious?:(
I'm too 'scared to change my 'style' and appearance ?
I went through this last year. Last year my fashion was....blechhhh, and I was also afraid to change because I though people would be like "Oh look at her. Shes changing. Shes a poser. Shes fake. Blahh Blahh Blahh!" But the only reason someone would say that is because they're too insecure and they wouldn't be able to do what I was wanting to do so they brought me down. Well everytime they said something to me I was like "I really don't care. If you don't like it then thats your problem so you can get over it." They didn't say anything else about it to me. This year Im more upbeat and even more fashionable than last year so people always say "You are so pretty! I love your clothes!" and all the stuff like that. So by just saying what I did, people respected me because I stand up for who I was. Thats what you need to do. Hope it Helps!!
Do you think people are too concerned with physical appearance and not concerned enough about intelligence?why
The media is who I blame. They always are suggesting we should look a certain way. Look at models or magazines for example. They are all 2 inches around, or ripped. and its human nature to want to be like someone else, someone better. I think media plays a huge role though.
Why am I embarrassed about changing my style?
I'm 14 and at the moment all i usually wear t-shirts, pants, and basketball shoes. I'm kind of tired of the stuff I wear and think I look kind of look messy in those clothes. I want to start wearing stuff more "dressy/casual", but the thing is I'm kind of embarrased people at my school will judge me for what I wear. I know how to dress but my mom doesn't want me to choose what I wear, she thinks I'm too young but i'm almost in highschool. How do I overcome a fear of being judged for what i wear?
How can I deal with people copying my style (mannerisms, clothes, appearance)?
Stop caring. Why does it matter?At a certain point during high school, I was the “King of Goths.”I noted that, soon after, a number of student began copying my manner of dress. Suddenly, combat boots were all the rage. Oh look, dyed hair! Wait, is that… Black eyeliner? Hmm, fishnets… Alright, alright, where the fuck are you people getting leather pants!? Cause you sure as hell don’t know where Trash & Vaudeville is!It bothered me to hell and back - but I grew up. I matured. And you know what?I realized it doesnt matter. Fashion is a conscious manifestation of external image - an overt attempt to modify the manner in which we are perceived.As an adult, I learned to cycle between an elegant business suit and fedora, comfortably casual or utilitarian dress akin to an office assistant or construction worker, or - on rare occasions - you may see me put on my high-end velvet-lined trench coat, a nice velvet brocade vest over a pressed dress-shirt, some fine cuff links, form-fitting slacks, and proper Italian black leather dress shoes. Admittedly, I still have a penchant for wearing far too much black, but I’ve learned not to take it so seriously.Still a goth at heart, though I no longer call myself such a thing. It is far too stifling and simplistic a label. I am, yet I am far more.As are you. You are not the measure of your dress. Others copying you is, frankly, flattering! It means they liked what they saw so much they just had to memorize it, track it down, spend valuable money on it, and then risk looking like a copycat by wearing it.Be proud, my friend. You’ve started a revolution. ;)
