Does style of clothes matter today for a new generation especially women?

In my youth young women had to look well relevant for the fashion of the time. For my part, I even at present do not know what it meant. I had two pair of jeans and two blouses - a white one and a colourful one. That's all.
I was sort of an outcast really. But I really did not have the means to buy stylish clothes because internet was not that popular and popular comfortable brands which ordinary customers could afford and sort of united us-yes in a way, those who even belong to a bit different parts of community were not yet developed and available.

But in my time, we couldn't wear nice dresses or skirts with some bits of gothic hints or a bit of shabbiness that young people like so much. It was all pricey. I felt unpleasant in some way. I did not look like my style self expression so on was thought out. It didn't look like I cared about my clothes on the whole. I am obsessed about clothes - I read magazines and posts on new style a bit too often. But I know that I couldn't really make them part of my style bacause all those parts do not have some sort of consistency. I like something a bit childish that is stupid for some. Also, I often feel cold, I do not often wear anything that doesn't make me warmer (thick sweatshirts are the best).

I can't make much of today's weird diversity of styles. Way too girly or way too sloppy. Or vulgar or boring in colour. Or too trivial or revealing.

And because I am a bit tall, skirts are either too frivolous or the opposite look like parachutes.
I am sorry -maybe I am bit mad, but I would like to have some just a little bit of development in my style. I would like to keep bits of childishness or warmth in my style but to wear more maturely and with modesty. I have a specific built and I am rather thin in this case you don't want anything tight. Just something that would give you some feminine streak and a bit of good mood.
