Fantastic Life :)

I don't know why, but something has happened this semester that just makes me feel fantastic about everything, my home, myself, my baccalaureate project, my relationships... Everything! I feel myself becoming more mature and responsible, more organized, thus having more time be become a well-rounded person.

One of the things I wish I could change is my "look", my style, but I think it will take either a big move or a career beginning to be able to change that, too many clothes and a pretty mellow style. I just don't have the energy in the mornings to do more than drag my sorry ass out of bed, throw on a tank top and jean with a pair of sneakers and brush my teeth, let alone spend hours on my hair and makeup, then get in a dress and traipse around in heels all day.


BUT I wish I could! The girls that do look so pretty, and I watch these movies (Chocolat, 2000) and the women are so elegant and womanly and romantic. Then there's me, jeans and t-shirt, barely brushed hair and definitely not womanly. It's not that I look bad, I think I'm fairly attractive, but it's an athletic, could-survive-if-the-world-went-all-Road-Warrior kind of attractive. It's strong, not delicate and womanly, warm or soft.


This may stem from the being taller, playing sports and dominating in Gym class, but I kind of hate it. I want my boyfriend to look at me like I'm feminine and pretty. He says I'm pretty, but I don't feel the woman in it.

Any tips for an athletic girl wanting to turn feminine?
