Would you view me as classy, tacky, or frumpy

Corporate drone no style so frumpy.

Me:
31
5'1" 130lbs (still losing baby weight from my 10 month old)
Size 6 or 8 depending on brand, usually petite

Brown hair currently cut to chin length with subtle layers, don't color but no grey whatsoever

Wear glasses everyday; not super trendy (eg Warby Parker), just brown plastic rectangular frames

Wear wedding ring and engagement ring (1.5 carat emerald cut solitaire) every day

Always wear basic, light makeup (primer, bb cream, concealer, blush, shadow, eye liner, mascara)

Get my eyebrows waxed every 4 weeks

Typical work outfit (business casual, director level position)

Silk opaque t-shirt (Ann Taylor)
Navy pencil skirt (theory)
Tortoise shell scalloped flats (Sam Edelman)
Pearl studs
Delicate chain necklace
Tissot watch
Navy Michael Kors Selma bag

(Note: very rarely wear heels; wouldn't be caught dead in pantyhose)

Typical weekend outfit:

Skinny jeans (Paige denim)
Solid color tshirt (Everlane)
Chucks
Pearl studs
Plain black leather (no logos) Coach shoulder bag

Thoughts? What should I change?

It would scream "DC" (the Hill) to me if I saw you in an airport anywhere in the world.

As for what you should change? Not a thing. You are who you are. Everything you describe is completely acceptable.

If you want to take chances, ditch the pearls and try something different. If you want to change you life, change your glasses.

I'm a wear-all-black-all-the-time kinda gal. So be it. In the summer, I switch it up with white tops and long, patterned, casual dresses. I have a pair of crazy shoes I sometimes wear with one of my (many) sheath dresses. Whatever.

Do you!

And you look ridiculous wearing a pencil skirt without hose.

No. You 85 year old women need to go away and die with this pantyhose obsession

I'm glad someone else thought this, too. I guess what I wear would be considered no makeup.

Flats with a pencil skirt? Just no. Do your self a favor and at least get nice wedges or kitten heels.

Yeah, that's definitely not light makeup. I wear what I think is light makeup: mascara, gel blush, tinted lip balm. Concealer for the random zit.

None of the above. Not classy, tacky or frumpy.

Boring- yes.

You were raised right.

Boring. Typical weekend outfit is jeans and t-shirt?? Short brown hair with glasses? If you're happy with yourself then who cares what we think, but since you asked...

No such thing as "nice" wedges or kitten heels.

Op, the real question is why are you all of sudden worried if this is how prefer you dressing and I'm assuming for years now? Is this an insecurity problem? Over analyzing? Is your husband paying attention to other women or saying something? Or are you just ready for a change in style. In that case find a Hollywood star that inspires you in fashion and use their style as a guide. I like fashion and dressing up. I enjoy switching up my style everyday to work. I'm a visual person, so if you can post some google photos of your current style and I can give you some tips.

YOu could apply all those things very lightly. I do. DH didn't realize I wore makeup when we first were dating.

Self-obsessed for sure, and probably overweight.

Are you saying year round, even in the snow/cold, you wear a pencil skirt and flats with no panty hose? How do you make that work?
