I guess everyone is different. I remember when i was about 7 and i was sick of wearing 'Girly' Clothes. I didnt feel right dressed all girly since all my friends were mainly boys and they were in jeans and trackies. I wanted to be apart of that and i wanted to dress as they were. So that was it mum started buying me what i wanted and i was mainly in jeans and trackies, At the age of 17 when i very slowly started to look more girly and got more female friends, i met a guy which i really fell in love with. Then i made more of an effort with my appearance. I ditched my tom boy image. Then got in to make up and clothes that i wouldnt normally wear. I went though a stage where i wouldnt wear jeans. I wouldnt leave the house without makeup or my hair done.
Now im 28 ive got to the stage again where im really not that fussed. I dont think i make to much of an effort unless im off on a night out. People think i spend hours getting ready when i dont, i dont make no effort unless im out on the razz.
What made me think of this topic. My 6 year old moaning about what he looks like. He has dress sence he knows what goes and what doesnt. He has been dressing himself from about the age of 3. So why is he asking me now when he has dressed ok. Everything he puts on looks alright. Yet this morning he has come down about 4 times in different clothes. Each one has looked ok and he has moaned about it.
So when did you start to think about your appearance more? How much of an effort to you put in to getting ready each day to say when you have an event coming up or some special day where you would think you need to dress up more?

True, but to be honest looks aren't everything. Looking back at my ex (I'm going to sound really harsh now) but she was no oil painting. She didn't have a nice personality either. Wonder what happened there? Maybe she was the first to look pass my wonky nose and weird looks :p
I have decreased spending time on my appearance and even just left the stubble to grow. I act professional and try to keep myself presentable (rather than fashionable). If I can get away with looking like I do then that's usually the option I take now.
As for shirts with creases, well, I'd rather put up with that than the 3 hours it takes trying to iron them... Ironing should be a degree course!

My 6 year old doesnt like me wearing skirts or dresses. If i have either one on and im about to walk out the door. He says 'mum you forgot to put your trousers on' He dont like me out unless i am covered head to toe.
I'm 35 and passed caring too much about what I look like which is maybe just as well as my 4 year old daughter likes to decide what I'm wearing. Fortunately she doesn't have a say in what clothes I buy... yet.

I did when i ws young which is why i hung about with the boys. They were my friends no matter what. It wasnt about looks to them it was about having fun. I still get called ugly even till this day. I just choose not to let it get to me. I make my efforts when i feel its needed. Other wise its 2 fingers up to those who choose to say anything bad. Ive got a good happy life so sod what people think of me.

I go for the minimalist approach, I got lucky with genetics so I'm tall, have olive skin, etc. So, I just shave my hair, wear well made, yet simple clothing, and work out.
