    Honestly... I say just be you. Screw trying to be a girly girl if that's not your nature... you'll just feel like you're conforming to society, shaving off a piece of yourself to fit into the societal puzzle. Do what's comfortable for you hun, if you think you look good in your style, then that's all that matters in my opinion!

    Always remember, you're BeYOUtiful :).

    I would go to a good hair stylist and see if they can give you a very easy, quick hair style that you can do yourself Also lipgloss and mascara go a long way. As for clothes- still be comfortable but like others say get clothes that fit. You want to be comfortable so I wouldn't go overboard.
  • Watch "What Not to Wear" and "How Do I Look" . Both shows give great tips but they also address some issues that keep women locked in comfort zones that don't always feel good.

    This may sound silly, but I would shop for one inexpensive thing (a necklace, pair of earrings, or scarf) that you see that shouts feminine or sexy to you. Pick something you like, maybe it is whimsical and you haven't let yourself be that. Maybe it is ultra sexy which is a part of you that has been hiding in sweats. Wear that for a bit and admire it, remembering how much you like it and the image it brought to your mind. Then make other small steps like that.

    On a more practical note, Goodwill, thrift stores, consignment shops are a great way to get a cheap wardrobe.

    I am a diehard tomboy and even worse...horse girl.

    I am working on becoming girly to.

    Play with makeup, just a little bit goes a long way. I wear mascara and eyeliner everyday even if I just put a ponytail in.

    I also have finally stop biting my nails. I get manicures and my nails look pretty.

    I have long hair and actually do it everyday.

    I stopped wearing baggie clothes all the time also. I wear heels and boots now.

    To me, being girly is about being confident and having fun. You can be girly and watch the football game. If you're going to the park or the grocery store, heels and a dress aren't sensible. Save those for date night (special occassions). I would suggest starting with little things (e.g. a little make-up, a cute top w/ your jeans, paint your toe nails, etc...). As you become more comfortable w/ yourself and expressing yourself in a girly way, being girly will become easier. When you dress it up, be ready to graciously accept compliments.
  • Girly girl, to me, is somewhat about how you feel on the inside. I am a girly girl even though alot of times I wear a tshirt. I do not like getting dirty outside. I don't like hunting or anything like that, etc. I like watching makeover shows and the E! channel! :) But when I really want to feel girly- like if I'm going out... I will put on a big pair of earrings, polish my nails, wear super cute shoes, jeans that make me feel confident, REALLY style my hair with a curling iron, and put on makeup with eyeliner and eyeshadow. :) It's how it all comes together to me. You can't just have one and appear to look girly. I've seen plenty of tomboys wear earrings but still not look girly.. One way to boost yourself and make you feel more feminine- go get a haircut/style or a pedicure!! You will feel so good! Good luck. 14076513.png

    The quickest, easiest, cheapest way for me to feel girly is to paint my toenails. Especially with being at home all the time, it's so easy to just run around the house barefoot, and whenever I look down, I feel girly. Right now, they are purple and will remain so through my son's basketball season. GO PANTHERS!!
