So I am 20 years old and all my life untill recently, I was a plain jane - plain-Jane locks,wore glasses, absolutely no makeup,boring clothes,hardly dress up.But recently,I thought I'd have a makeover and have started wearing make up and doing my hair and stuff.It's not a huge transformation, all I've really changed about my previous looks is that I now wear bold jewellery, have started to wear makeup(ONLY mascara and lip gloss),put on contacts and try different kind of clothes that suit me.
Anyway, a lot of people have complimented me and say I look much better and that I look really nice(at home,college,everywhere), but it seems a lot are against my 'transformation' though they all agree that I look "amazing".My sister and aunt said that I look so beautiful that I should tone it down.Also, that there's no point cause I'm already pretty so I don't need make up since I'm a 'natural beauty'.The only thing they believe I should do is just my hair and change my dress sense.
Also, people keep asking me "why are you wearing jewelery?" "who are you trying to impress?" "how come you want to look pretty now?" "you've become vain" "what's the point of making yourself look nice now?" "You were already pretty even if you looked simple" Also, my sister joked "you look beautiful, now I will tell people you're my sister" but on the other hand she's saying that I shouldn't transform myself but she says it's cause I annoy her cause I ask her about make up and stuff all the time now lol
Also, yesterday my dad kept looking at me and he asked me "where did you go today" I told him I'd been nowhere then he said I look really smart and pretty but he prefers it when I don't dress myself up.He said I'm pretty as I am and he's worried that if I go out like that I might "not come back for the night" whatever he meant by that :/(no I wasn't dress slutty or anything). But he is overprotective.
But the thing is both my younger sisters have always been into fashion and always dress up.But now I have started to do the same people are not comfortable with it? why is that? They like it, but then they don't like it? if you get me.
It is kinda affecting I always think maybe I should just go back to my old boring geeky self and that it's not me.
