[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I know what you mean and marvel at this. I see it as a combination of the following:

- fit and toned body
- well cared for and styled hair
- beautiful clean skin
- good quality and well fitted clothes
- well coordinated shoes and accessories

It’s A LOT of effort, time and money. Some women seen their presentation as an essential part of who they are and their self worth.

This. It takes a lot of time and money, especially as you get older.

OP, if you want to do this, then find some outfits online and try to copy them, or go to a personal shopper. I think Nordstrom might still offer this as a free service. Don't try to recreate the wheel and start shopping from a blank piece of paper. Just copy others. If you don't have an established sense of style, then you need to buy complete outfits, including accessories. Don't buy anything if you don't know what to wear it with. Say you settle on a pair or two of shoes for a season. Make sure everything you buy works with those shoes. Start off trying to look polished even if you're copying some basic looks. Don't jump into trying to look like a high end model right off the bat. And don't buy anything that doesn't look fabulous on you. You can get some things tailored to fit better too.

Find a skin care expert or influencer you like and copy them. Follow tutorials for your type of hair. Get a good haircut. Use dry shampoo so you only have to wash your hair a couple times per week. Follow makeup experts and copy them. Go to a few beauty counters to find products you like. It will still take you a lot of time to get ready, but this is how to get started if you really want to do it.

Finally, you have to get in good shape or nothing will look as good on you. I focus on exercise and diet and only occasionally do my hair and make up. I have a decent sense of style so I have some casual pieces that look cute while I'm doing activities with the kids. It's just not worth it to me to look Instagram-ready every time I leave the house. I feel like I get more bang for my buck staying in good shape anyway.[/quote]
