 That's me too. I need a new wardrobe. I can't believe I've let myself go.... I guess when you have two kids, it's so hard to think what to dress up. I try to be presentable but I've been known to go to the shops in my track suit pants.

My husband dresses better than me. I guess it's part of his charm of being a metrosexual and proud of it. [/DIV]
   Um, I dont get why this is a problem.

I went downtown one time into a higher end clothes store to pick up a bday present for a friend. After wandering around in there for 10 minutes in a jackshirt and dirty blue jeans I started to notice people staring and getting out of my way. LOL!

I wouldn't worry about what you're wearing too much eiher Lise.  I often go out, during the weekends with no make up (not that I wear too much), in sweats, in a tee and my hair is totally messy.  It's comfortable.  Nobody stares or think it's weird.  I come home from rowing practices all wet, in grey sweats wearing pink plastic wet shoes.  

  My b/f always tells me  "who cares what others think"  "You're comfortable in your clothes."  "Who do you have to impress anyways?"    He's a wise guy. ;)

I think your guy is very wise, pl.  That's very good advice.
 
 According to Mr LM, guys generally prefer the "natural look" and that women do the hair/makeup/clothing to impress other women.  That's his opinion, and I'm not entirely convinced it's true.
 
 I go shopping in my sweats and PJ pants (clean ones!) all the time.  Funny thing is, I always get ID'd at the liquor store when I'm dressed like that.  The cashier looks at my DL and laughs.  I never got carded when I was 14, but I do now.  Strange.

LOL, that's hilarious!  I guess the lesson here is "dress comfortably with little to no makeup and look young at the same time!"  :)))

  Yeah, my guy tells me that guys like girls looking all natural with no makeup and hair pulled back.  Yep, I think that many girls dress up to impress other girls and get other guys attention.  If I was single, I'd dress up to get attention from other guys, but this isn't the case.  ;)  My guy prefers me naked.  LOL

Actually, I think we all prefer you naked too, purelife. ROTFL about the pants! Nice to know I'm not the only one.

  Ever get the feeling after watching a show like "What Not to Wear" or "Style by Jury" that your wardrobe is sneering at you? *sssshhing the cupboard now*

I like watching people who are stuck in an earlier decade.
My grandma's have that 1940's/1950's hair cut.

My grandpa wore stuff from the 70's.

Know anybody in your family stuck in a decade?

 He's right. Im more attracted to a girl natural looking. Not looking like a racoon. I mean, they are pretty as well.. but I go more for the girls looking 'eau naturale'

same here and tells me a lot about the girls self confidence.  I've always seen make up as trying to be something you're not.  Just be yourself and not ashamed.
