[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of this is:

1) hair. I have curly frizzy hair. I’d have to get it professionally blow dried multiple times a week and never get it wet in order for it to look perfect all the time. So I’m never going to be that perfect straight haired girl. There’s a satc  episode about thisL curly vs straight haired women.

2) some women’s moms teach them how to do makeup and hair and dress well. And then they put effort into doing so. My mom dressed like a homeless lady half the time.

3) body. My body is fine. Tall. Fairly thin. But I have large hips and that makes It harder to look perfect. Some of this is body type. Some bodies just look better and more put together in clothes than others. We might still have nice bodies, but clothes just don’t hang as well on us.[/quote]

OP here. I feel all of this. Especially the thing about moms. My mom was so weird about appearances and self care when I was a kid. She HATED her appearance and was always dieting and changing her hair. She had no idea how to wear makeup but tried. No idea how to dress either and since she hated her body she slowly just morphed into wearing huge sack clothes that covered it up. Growing up I didn't necessarily know who I wanted to be but I knew I didn't want to be like that. I refused to loathe my body, no matter what. Like I said in my OP, I think I'm good looking. But maybe that's it -- maybe there's some key that confident, put together women pass on to their daughters and I just don't know what it is. I wish they'd share it with me! I don't have low self-esteem but I'd love to just feel more composed in my day to day. [/quote]
