I had the day off on Friday, so I decided to experiment a little with fully dressing with the goal of creating a look that I would feel comfortable going out the front door with. After hours of trying on different clothing combinations and makeup, I concluded that I really don't have the slightest clue as to what I'm doing! My physic is broad shoulders and narrow hips, my face is narrow with prominent nose and chin. I just look pathetic.

When I see the pictures posted on this board, I am amazed. I feel like such an amateur! Maybe it's easier to pull off a great look based on what you are starting with? Now I am wondering if I need to acquire all of the accoutrements, padding for my hips, a waist cincher, corset, breast forms, wig, proper makeup... ugh it just makes my head spin! How does one get started?

Sorry, I just had to vent. Does anyone else feel this way?
