How to change my look to more feminine?

I want to start dressing/looking more like a girl. I have started by adding more pink and purple to my wardrobe, but to be honest I suck at fashion and make up. Do you have any tips for me? I work with a lot of women and most of them always look so feminine and pretty. I want to look like that too. But I don't know how.

My daily make up is eyeliner, mascara and sometimes a little eyeshadow( I don't know how to use more than one shade at once)I also use pressed powder because foundation makes me break out.

My daily outfit choice is usually jeans (flare, because skinny jeans look funny on me) a plain v neck top/tshirt either pink, purple, or black.

and then flats or sneakers (I don't like when my feet get cold.)

And I usually wear a necklace and stud earrings.

I either wear my hair down or pinned up if it is hot (My hair is very thin and baby fine)

That's about it.

I never feel good about my appearance. I feel as if I always look like I just got out of bed. I just turned

31 last week and I have decided to change my look so I won't feel bad about myself anymore. I do get teased sometimes about not being very girly. I just don't know how. Please help if you can

I have been talking to my husband about this and he says he likes how I look, that I shouldn't feel

like I have to change, but he will help and support me with my choice. I want to change to make myself feel better. PLease help if you can.

    How often do you go shopping just to take a look at what's out there? I find it helpful to grab my sister of a freind and just browse and try things on. Have a look at JC Penney. I just got some really cute tops there a week ago. You don't have to wear pink or purple to be feminine. It's more about fit and style. Wear more fitted tops. Some tops have pintucking that come in at the waist and give a flattering shape. Long tunics are cute too as well as fitted button down blouses. Play with your jewelry. Charm bracelets are super cute. Have a look at Brighton Collectibles and Charming Charlies if you have those stores near you. Try some big hoop earrings instead of studs. Those are super fem. Hair pulled into a ponytail is also very cute and feminine. Your makeup sounds okay to me. If you want a better makeup routine, go to the MAC counter or makeup counter at a Dept. Store. You can get free help there and product recommendations specially for you. Do you paint your nails? Having painted nails fems you up instantly. You can go with classics like red or a french manicure or have fun with pastels or pinks. Wear some perfume. I love Burberry and Juicy Couture. There is nothing wrong with flare jeans. That's all I wear (I'm 37) and they are still the classic gold standard for jeans. Tips to make them look cute include making sure they are fitted down to the knees and then flare out and make sure they go to the floor. Try some heels on. Flares were made for tall heels with just the toes peeking out from under the hems. Wedges and sandals are hot right now as well as platforms. I've gotten some great heels at Payless and they are surprisingly good. Flare leg yoga pants are great and even palazzo pants. Have you looked at skirts? Maxi skirts and dresses are on-trend as well as pencil skirts or looser a-line skirts. Patterend tights are all the rage for hosiery or pantyhose can be worn to make legs look perfect. Just dive in and give these suggestions a try.

    I'm going to include some Polyvore links to outfits I created as an example of casual chic everyday wear.

    adding more pink will not help .. First of all you need to know your body and what looks good on it. You can look at tutorials on youtube that help with makeup tips and hair. You can try a new hair look go to a hair salon dye it or cut it. You can also try wearing more fitted clothing and dresses, skirts and shorts perhaps. You should buy more sandals that look cute and wont make your feet so cold. Try new vibrant colors with clothes go to your local mall and ask for help if you don't know what to buy. Also for accessories try new things like longer and bigger earrings and wear long necklaces with various colors. Well i hope i helped and good luck :D
