People at my office look good. (It is a design firm, filled with interior designers, graphic artists, etc. so of course they look good.) I am just not nearly as stylish or put together. I don't dress inappropriately by any means, it is just that I don't look as good. This isn't coming from a place of sadness or despair. I also don't feel defiant to stay the way I am. I just want to learn and improve and make some gradual changes. For one thing, I never wear make-up, even though doing so makes me look so much better. I also wear my hair up too much. So, I have new goals starting this week for my appearance going to work:
Everyday, I must do one of the following:
- Wear my hair down (curly or straight)
- Put in my contacts
- Wear make-up (minimum of two items)
Also, if I am wearing jeans, than I need to do something to make the outfit a bit special (so far that has meant adding a necklace.) Dress pants, skirts, or dresses are special enough as is for the moment.
Once I get used to these small upgrades than I hope to add in more until I find it easy to look amazing everyday!

Often knowing you look good makes you feel better and more confident too.

Ugh I'm the exact same way. My office doesn't have a dress code, we are allowed to wear jeans...even sweatpants if we want. The problem is I'm applying for new jobs where that's not the case. I need to get back into the habit of putting effort into how I look. so much work...This is here.
Match a nice sweater or blouse with a pair of flats when you wear jeans. I used to do that whenever I wore jeans at work. Or a nice pair boots.
I find Old Navy has some nice clothes that are inexpensive, but well-made.
