[quote=Anonymous]I am frumpy.  I'm almost 40, a mom of 2 young kids (baby and toddler), and I have become unfashionable and frumpy because I don't have extra time to spend on my appearance/maintenance/shopping.  I've also aged a lot since 35 and have lost my looks.

My weight is not the issue--I'm still the same size I was in college (size 6).  However, the issues are:

1.  My hair--I'm 30% gray, brunette, and if I don't color every 5 weeks my roots are hideous.  I don't have time to go every 5 weeks, I usually go once every 4 months, so I always have roots.  It's 3 hours in the salon for cut and color so I don't have a lot of time for this and I never color at home.
2.  My hairstyle--I can't find a hairstyle that looks good.  My hair always looks awful.  It's fine, naturally wavy and frizzy, and does not hold a style well.  In the summer it's a frizzy mess.  I don't have time to style so I let it air dry and it curls in an unflattering way.
3.  My clothes aren't that stylish because I don't have a lot of time to shop.  I have a few okay items.
4.  I have an ugly face.  I have a large, unflattering nose, very pale skin, strong features, and I just look harsh in general (the graying hair doesn't help).
5.  Makeup--generally I don't bother because I don't have time.  I look much better with blush and lipstick though.

I feel down about my appearance and frumpiness and I see so many moms who look so put together and stylish and I have no idea where they get the time for this.

Any suggestions about how to de-frump and look cute and stylish again?[/quote]
