so here's the story. Im plain. But im going to change that and soon. I just have one problemo...I dont know where to start. My sister says to be more like her, i dont think so. She flaunts her stuff...if u know what i mean. And dont get me wrong u know if she wants to do it fine but me- doing that-idts! and when i comes to wearing make-up and puting my face on and painting my nails and what not, i don't think it's for me. The other probelmo is that i have no style. I like to be comfy and i dont care what ppl say about me. My husband gave me some extra money to bye makeup and girl stuff and i was like...lost. i have lived with this man for like almost 10 years and never has he seen me wear pink or sparkley sparkles. and thats what i bought. Of course i asked the sales lady for help and she helped me thank GOD!!
When i put on maskara it kinda burned my eyes and when he saw me he said i looked like a person who crossed the mexico border. I was hurt and insulted! but i quickly got over it and told him to stick it up it who-who..so im going to ask my sister to help me be more girl-ish like her.
I told my husband that if i dont like wearing this stuff that ill stop putting it on. Has this ever happened to u..or maybe a sis?
And wearing heels ouch! I wore heels once and they costed me almost a hundred dollars. I should have taken them back because as soon as i put them on and started walking on them, i feel and twisted my ankle good. thats when i decided to give them to my sister in law and vowed to never wear them or anything like them again!
I think im gonna have to bite my tounge on this one. heels these days are too cute and they make me appear taller! i just have to learn how to walk on them....challenges challenges...what am i gonna do. oh! u got a story like this one or maybe something similar to this? i wont laugh i promise(crossing my fingers!! jk!)

Hi. Dear, you are not as plain as you think. And, for one why in the heck would you want to change if it is not you? Is it just the heels that you think are pretty? You don't have to walk in those things to feel pretty. I love heels too but man my ankles do not. I would not want to have my leg in a cast just to look pretty for anyone on the street, just wear them for hubby at home if he likes you to be in them. As for the make-up I started using mascara at the age of ten, and i don't ever think it burned my eyes. You might have an eye allergy to them, try the hypo-allergenic kind instead , that is what I use. I have to cause of eye sensitives. The clothes, well you can still be sexy in comfy clothes but slightly dress it up abit, get rid of the sweats all the time and actually just buy a low cut T-short of something subtle instead. Slowly move up to it, it doesn't have to have a drastic change for you. This way your hubby and you will get used to it better. It takes practice to put on make-up. I used to also highlight my hair as a 12 year old. Nobody noticed.

to answer ur question y would i want to change if its not me...well its kind of a long story. 2 weeks ago while were were out(my husband and i) he kept pointing out the hot girls who were wearing high heels and jewlrey and makeup and their nails done and he told me u should do that. I have a deep curiosity about that kinda of stuff. however i wont hurt myself again!

That's right, we should never change for others. People cannot shape us in the way they want to see, it only shows the one who is saying is the one in need of changes.
To be girly is not to be more of a woman, there are plenny of insecure women taking care of their appearence when inside they are crushed but they don't take a look to what's really important, and that's our selfesteem.
Are your selfesteem ok? Cause if it is that's exactly the way you should be.

TO just copy your sister's look to me is a waste of your time. You need to get style. Your own style. I would buy a push up bra, some eye make up and maybe a pair of nice fitting comfy pants whether jeans or other wise. Have you thought about updating or changing your hairstyle? SOmetimes just changing the color or getting some highlights can do wonders. Good luck to you and hope you have some fun.

I think that being more girly is just being yourself and you know what no one should try to change that and not even your husband. I agree that your husband should have never told you what he told you when you came home with makeup on. Maybe he's just not used to you wearing it, but he should have complimented you instead of insulting you. Shame on him for that. Be yourself, if you try to be something else you are not then you're not going to be comfortable with yourself and you should be comfortable with yourself. Change for you and not anyone else. If you like being plain which I doubt you are, then be plain and flaunt it. Be proud of it. Who cares what other people think.
