Lovelyish

since you’re still young, you want to look fun, but since you’re growing up you want to look mature too. here’s what i would suggest:

since i don’t know the shape of your head, i can’t tell you that much about what to do with it. assuming you’re not attached to length, i’d say go with an asymmetrical bob like kate gosselin’s, it’s edgy but still grown-up. dark wide-leg pants are good for apple-shaped bodies. pair them with a top that has an empire waist to give the look of your middle having more of a curve. dresses with deep v’s and empire waists are also very flattering to your body type, but i’m assuming since you run a youth group you’ll want to be modest, so put a cami underneath it. the color green looks great with reddish brown hair, stock up on it (be careful what hues of green you choose though, emerald green is fantastic but something like lime will wash you out). big slouchy bags are fantastic for carrying everything while still looking stylish, they have some nice ones at decent prices at places like target and jcpenney. hope i helped!

As an apple shape, you’re going to want to exaggerate an illusion of a waist, so I’d recommend wearing shirts or dresses with a thick belt/sash type thing around your waist. I’m not sure exactly what they’re called, but I’m sure you’ve seen people with that. I love thick hair and wish mine were- wear your hair wavy! Don’t wear those skinny type of heels- esp stilettos. They do not look good with apple-shapes.If you have the money, get a french manicure&pedicure, they always make me feel pretty. Maybe get some blonde highlights to de-emphasize your roots, especially if you’re trying to grow them out. Sorry I know these tips are all scattered, I wish I could give you more but I’d honestly need a pic of you.

Well maybe look through hair cuts and style magazines, find something you like and go get it professionally done. This way you fix the blonde roots with red hair thing, but you also can find a length or style that will be easy for you to manage.
As for your nails, those are more of an option to paint than anything. The best thing you can do is just keep them at a decent length, don’t bite them and file them evenly if one ever breaks. Some women just use clear nail polish to at least give them a shine. As for time to do your nails, some girls do them at night after dinner as they’re watching a fav prime time show or on the weekends when there’s time to relax.
As far as make-up goes I’m not sure. Sometimes you can find great tips on the kinds of make-up that work well for your skin tone. I know the bright colors for eyeshadow is out and that the smokey eye is being pushed aside by natural tones such as light and dark brown tones which look good with just about any eye color.
With a purse, I’d go out and shop (I go to Target cause you find cute, but reasonably priced stuff there). This way you can look at the different clutches, totes, purses, and bags to find which one would suit you and could fit all the things you wish to carry. Hopefully that helped somewhat. 

How unfortunate.

for makeup, i’d say go to sephora and schedule a makeover. buy some makeup products, ask them how to use them and practice at home.

first, get your hair done. that will make a huge difference.
get blonde highlights that match your natural color, and some brown lowlights.
get them fine, so they look more natural.

wear liquid foundation instead. it will stay on longer, and it looks better.
wide leg jeans will probably look good.

hope this helps

I also have insanely thick hair, and I keep it manageable by getting it thinned from time to time. They just cut it with a special kind of scissors (I even have a pair at homes, since I have since learned to do it myself.

If you’re a bit chubby, try empire waist tops (the waist is right under your bust rather than at your waist)

Jewelry can really jazz up an outfit, as can a pretty scarf or headband, or a cute pair of shoes. 

As for roots…the only way to get rid of them is to dye your hair again…

i don’t see anything wrong with tshirts and jeans. just be happy with who you are as an individual.

get some jeans that make you look/feel great. get some solid color tanks, and some cardigans. (i really like wearing cardigans over graphic tees, so you can do this and still wear your band tshirts. c:) get some boots — winter’s coming up. try getting some of those crest whitestrips; you can wear these anytime you find the chance. go to walgreens and buy yourself a hair magazine and decide on  a cut/color, if you’re wanting to change that. for makeup, go to macy’s at get yourself a makeover, and if you like it, buy those products. if there’s an origins store anywhere around you, i’d check it out — i heard they give out free samples like mad. get some good belts, too; they’ll define your waist. start with a classic brown one and work from there. look for some scarves at thrift stores. for a bag, i suggest target — they’ve got loads of big totes for twenty dollars or less.

if you can, post a picture of yourself on here. look at polyvore.com, too. (:

Remember,  your husband loves you for who you are. So if he wants you back in the tees and jeans, comply.

I recommend flared jeans to even out your apple body-shape. A long blouse (that covers your buttock, and slightly hugs your waist, with ruffly/wavy t-shirt sleeves. Do not wear red. Lose the two braids, unless your husband is fine with it. Keep side bangs. Don’t have your hair grow past your elbow, and don’t have your hair cropped short past your chin. Wear black. (:

That’s what I’d like to see.

@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - i agree. 

I was in the same position as you two years ago. I finally decided in my senior year of high school to start making efforts to look cute. The main advice I can give you is this: Don’t do anything drastic all at once. If anything, just start wearing more jewelry everyday; sometimes it makes a huge different in even the dullest of outfits, just be sure to try and match the jewelry somewhat. Also, I too hate getting up a little earlier in the morning to get ready ahead of time and look cute. So here is what I do:

I take about 15 minutes the night before the try on clothes and find a cute outfit for the next day, and even if I don’t lay it out I know which items they are the next morning and can grab and throw them on quickly without thinking and wasting time on what to wear.

I also think of what jewelry will match that outfit the night before, and think of a hairdo (if I’m feeling really organized) ahead of time, because some hair ideas are simple and can be prepared the night before and only take 2 minutes in the morning to fix. Some really easy and simple examples:
When you get out the shower and your hair is still wet, add a LITTLE amount of gel throughout your hair and braid it; the next morning it will be dry and once you take out the braids, it’s already cute and curly and just spray a little hair spray. You can also put in mousse/gel the night before and put it up, and the next morning it will also have a little, yet simple flavor to it.
In some cases with the right hair, you can straighten the night before and in the morning it may have gotten a little frizzy, but straightening the night before is the difference between 15 minutes of straightening and 5 minutes.

Finally, don’t try to change yourself at once. The only thing that will come of it is a feeling of hopelessness, confusion, and stress. Don’t go on a huge shopping spree, just go out every other week and buy three new items for your wardrobe. AND don’t buy things that you don’t think you will wear, meaning don’t buy something that you see everyone else wearing but you know it is a big step for yourself and may even feel uncomfortable wearing it. I started out by just buying cuter, more form fitting jeans, t-shirts (even though that’s all I wore), but they had just a little bit more class, maybe brighter colors, more feminine. Bought some cute, inexpensive jewelry here and there. Next thing I know, even just a couple of months later, I had made gradual yet moderate, tiny little changes that made a world of difference.

The bottom line is, you don’t have to wear high heels everyday and spend 3 hours getting ready in the morning. Honestly, It only takes me 30 minutes from the time I wake up until the time I leave to get ready, and I would like to consider myself who presents themselves (image wise) nicely. Little changes is all you probably need to feel comfortable with a more upgraded look. Good Luck and keep us posted!

Sounds like you’re trying to conform into something alien and uncomfortable. If you like your T-shirts and jeans, then keep wearing them. 

Okey here are some tips for your teeth…..

—> Use Colgate Plax Whitening Mouth wash for one minute before washing your teeth…. Brush your teeth with a whitening toothpaste and use Colgate Plax Whitening Mouth wash for one minute after you wash your teeth… Do this every morning and every night and u will see wonders in no time!! That is my routine and my teeth are reaaaaally white~^_^. and don’t forget to floss!

Go to a hair stylist (A real stylist, not a barber). Get your nails done, that way they can at least be shapely.
Get friends who know how to dress and shop with them.

kay first things first i think you should die your roots..it’ll jus look more put togeather. if you don’t have time to dye your roots often consider going back to your natural hair color. and for your clothes you should really read some magazines like to figure out what your style is and then go shopping. i like going online to do that =) good lucks <333

Hair:
I’m not sure about the face shape you have, but there are many guides to what kind of hair you should have according to your face shape online…if not you can always ask your hair styles that will flatter your face shape…but since you have thick hair, you may want to consider having straight hair instead of wavy because wavy hair gives more volume, but if you have thick hair already…then maybe too much/overwhelming…and ask your hair stylist for a hair style that is easier to manage, since you seem to have a very busy schedule…You may also want to touch up your roots, since they are not the same colour right now…

Clothes: For apple shaped bodies, try clothes with an empire waist line…if you wear darker solid colour tops, it will make your body look leaner, and boot cut pants work for most people, or you can try pants with a flare or wide leg, to help make your body and legs look more proportionate…

Nails: I don’t find this too important, as long as they’re cut, and they look neat…do not paint very eye catching colours on them, like black, hot pink, yellow, blue…etc. especially if you’re trying to look more professional and mature/your age

Bags: I definitely recommend a bigger sized purse for you since you do seem to carry alot, but make sure that the purse isn’t too big/you’re hidden behind the purse…a good rule of thumb is to make sure the purse is not bigger than from your wrist to your elbow…or else it’ll look like luggage…

Jewellry: Keep it simple, make sure you don’t have too much going on, but also if you want to dress up a bit, then you wouldn’t want to look plain.  You can try having from your head to neck/shoulders…if you have studs, than you can wear a nice necklace, but if you’re wearing dangly/big chunk earrings, than skip the necklace, or it’ll be too much.  If your necklace is very flashy, than you can consider nto wearing any earrings at all…

For your body, find a balance between your belt and bracelets, make sure there isn’t too much of either, or if you’re wearing a chunky bracelet you may want to skip the belt, but if you’re wearing a flashy belt, you may want to skip the bracelet…

Shoes: Definitely something with a bit of a heel will give you that extra omph, it will make your body pushed forward with more confidence…since you’re really busy, and may run around alot/be very active, I suggest a wedge or a heel that is not too high, so it’s easier on the feet…and you can walk around more…if you’re wearing clothes that are rather plain, you can also dress up with some colour funky shoes! Because you’re still very young, only 20…so definitely have some colour =)

Make-up: There really isn’t much of a need for this, for a natural look, most people would look fine in this: light eye shadow, a soft liner…probably a dark shade/colour of whatever eye shadow you are wearing…black just look’s too harsh on the eyes sometimes…especially on young people…mascara really is optional….foundation is…optional as well depending on if you need it, I suggest trying to use as little as possible…your lip colour depends on what kind of eye make-up you have on, if it’s bright/eye catching, you may want a more neutral look on your lips, but if your eye make-up is very plain, you may want to play it up with bolder colours…(but at work you’d probably still want a neutral colour…the bolder colours are really jsut for going out).. using a blush or bronzer does really help, but it really depends on what kind of face shape you have…you can find alot of tips/videos online to help you find out which way is the best for you…and eye make-up (shadow/liner), use colours that will accentuate and flatter your eye colour, like purple with green eyes, neutral warm brown shades with blue eyes, and if you have brown eyes, you can use many colours like blues, purples or champagnes/pinks…if you’re not sure then you can always go neutral, which will look fine on any colour(beige to browns…)

Other:
1. When you go shopping, ask a friend who is honest, and has a rather decent sense of fashion to go shopping with you.
2.  Make sure your tops/pants are easy to match with each other, so you can switch it up and keep it fun!
3. Try out different looks with your make-up on the weekend or whenever you are free, before wearing it in the morning, so you become more familiar with it…
4. If you don’t have enough time in the morning, try and pick out your clothes the night before
5.  Because you seem to be so busy, make sure you have enough time to destress, relax, and sleep everyday…make sure you put out some time every week for yourself, it’ll help boost your mood/energy too!
6. Relax, take it slow, changing in the long run is probably more effective than changing so quickly, because you may want be tempted to go back to your old ways because it’s way ‘easier’ and ‘quicker’ so try changing things one at a time…and remember 1 hour is plenty of time to get ready in the morning, really it’s not worth it to put in 2-3 hours every morning to get ready…especially with such a full sechedule like yours, relaxing, and making sure you get enough rest is a way higher priority.
7.  Even if you want to try and change and dress more maturely, just remember it’s always okay to feel lazy and bump around in big tees, sweats and what not, as long as you’re not doing this at work….or to any special event…like I think just going grocery shopping or running errands like this is fine…

Great! And good on you!
First Id say git ur hur did =D
You will notice a huge difference after a good hair cut and styling in how you feel about yourself.
As for make up and cloths…
Forget the latest trends, Designer brand names or what they tell you.
You don’t have to spend much too look and feel good.
You know what you like. And you do have your own style.
If you like wearing jeans and a t shirt? Well shooot!
Hit the shops and buy a really cute pair!
Gradually throw out your old wardrobe and you’ll be looking and feeling beautiful in no time!

“I want to look good for my husband”

You should want to look good for yourself!!!

Good luck

for hair, just go to a salon and ask them what type of hairstyle/colour would suit you. a hair makes a lot of changes!

this is going to sound like a self-promotion, but honestly, i think you should check out my site. I’m 20 years old too, and used to be the girl in the band shirt and boy shorts as well. I’m absolutely in love with fashion now, and my blog is all about how any girl with any budget (and i mean any) can pull off trends and be ahead of the fashion in their town. Every item i feature is easy to pair with things in your own closet (may even already be in there and you just havent thought of how to wear it) or can be found for under $20 (often under $5). Check it out if you want.

as for makeup and hair, I’d right off the bat say get it bleached back to its natural color or dye the roots. no offense but I hate obvious roots on a lady lol!

As for teeth, get a baking soda toothpaste or one of those whitening strip kits. If your makeup is too light and comes off easy, try a better quality foundation, preferably a liquid kind rather than powder (just make sure it matches well). I’d say wear eyeliner rather than maskara. I swear by it! it stays on darker and longer if you use a harder coal that you have to hold over a lighter to sofen enough to apply. The kind that’s already soft wipes off too easy. I forget the name, but the kind i get comes with 2 in a pack and the pencil is red if that helps lol. found at any walmart or drugstore. pretty cheap.

I know it sounds cliche, but get a big fashionable purse. I’m in college and I sometimes carry the normal purse stuff along with textbooks and a laptop in my purse. I go for a color that goes with anything, is durable, but isnt ugly. Look at places like TJ Maxx for things that look designer but are much cheaper.

Hope this helps!

Forever21 or Charlotte Russe(great for business clothes?, but also fashionable). 

I don’t have much time for my nails these days either, but I have found that using a fast drying nail polish is the best thing to use if you’re short on time. I like Seche Vite (sp?) top drying clear coat. You just paint it on a minute after your 2nd coat of polish, wait 5 minutes and it’s set. Wait 10 minutes and it’s completely dry.

I’m in need of a transformation as well :/ I can confidently do my nails, but when it comes to the world of make up..not so much. I’ve read every all the tutorials and watched all the Youtube videos and I know make up theoretically but I can’t seem to apply it. Thanks for posting this because I find it helpful as well

get rid of the chucks and flip-flops.

they are for teenagers, not someone ready to start a family.

look in fashion magazines, go to sephora, look on the internet for hair styles you like, save up a lot of money to buy a whole new wardrobe. heels are good!

TIPS: Youtube.  On whitening teeth, I learned a simple solution from a girl that use to work as a dental assistant. you go to walmart, you buy one of those mouth guards that football players wear. u stick it in some hot water to make it more malable, then you get some bleach cream (?) and you put it on on ur teeth and then the mouth guard for 5 min/3 days.  actually, if you youtube it, i’m sure you’ll find the girl who taught me that trick. its great, and a lot cheaper than getting crest whtiening strips, etc.

(sorry for spelling errors, i’m tired but can’t sleep)!  haha
also, I’m an apple shape (my fat likes to accumulate at my belly). I highly suggest wearing flowy tops. there are so many tops out there now, that don’t cling to your belly, that you can very well hide it.  check out forever21.com. no matter what your age, you’ll be able to find some pieces that can add style to your wardrobe. plus, they’re so cheap and free shipping over seventy five dollars. definitely check it out! take care and good luck!

start with hair. if you want longer hair then cut it so its maybe at an angle and cut the layers so theres none or new ons.  Also maybe lighten it a little and get highlights/lowlights.  it will make a huge difference if you leave it wavy or take 10 minutes to blowdry/straighten. 

Teeth.  Go to sights like dazzlesmile.com theres free promotions you only pay shipping and handling. use peroxide before brushing(gargle) then dab baking soda or charcoal on a toothbrush and follow with toothpaste. 

Nails.  Get a french manicure/pedicure.  Its smart, sophisticated, if you get acrylics then you take 1 hr. every 2-3 weeks to get them filled in.  It does make you look more professional.

makeup!! big thing.  wash in the a.m. use a pore minimizing toner(neutrogena makes a nice one) and put moisturizer on.  Follow with primer use a makeup wedge and let dry. 

 Follow with liquid foundation, then concealer under eyes and imperfections.  Next do setting powder and BLUSH on the apples of your cheeks or by your cheek bones.  Mascara/eyebrow powder and eyeliner brings out the eyes. 

As for clothes, wider legged jeans, maybe empire waisted things and jackets and ballet shoes or high heels. 

I have a high stress run run run kinda life and up until a year ago I was always in baggy clothes, no makup and hair up in a twistd bun thing. 

were sun dresses and get some big fluffy curls……………………………hope this helps!!!!!
