oh god, really? that first mini-skirt/thigh high boots post is a god damned disaster. That pixie cut does not suit her at all ( and I freaking love pixie cuts) and everything is a post about shredded jeans and loose sweat shirts. I'm confused.

Come sit by me. Skinny jeans, boots and a scarf aren't "stylish" no matter how well they fit or how much they cost. They are just another version of the same uniform everyone else is wearing.
The most stylish woman I've ever seen in DC was pushing ninety. Every day she dressed head to toe in either baby pink or powder blue. She was fabulous. Sadly, she passed away about a year ago.

That said, I've learned a lot from fashion blogs about how to dress better. Not runway chic, but not yoga pants either. It's totally possible to do that!
Could you suggest some good blogs for that? Thank you!

People treat you differently...trust me. And guess what, it takes me LESS time now to get ready in the morning than it did before. You know why??? Because I've gotten rid of all the ugly clothes in my closet. I cleaned it out. I only have things that go with other things (not that they all go together) and that fit me well. Everything else is out. If you are organized you can dress fashionably and get dressed in less time.
I used to sit in front of my closet, not be able to see anything, and then just grab stuff that didn't work well together to just have clothes on my body. I felt disheveled and I didn't like to feel that way. Now that my closet is more organized I can get dressed in about 5 minutes because I already know what works together. I do the same for weekend clothes now too and I can be super comfortable at the part but still be put together. Its really not that hard.
