    When you dress, where do you start?

    For me, it's the shoes.
    If I can find a gorgeous pair of heels or wedges, I can build an entire outfit around it.
    Then comes makeup and jewelery. If everything looks right, I'll paint my nails in a color that compliments my outfit.

    But for me, A good pair of shoes is the foundation, and everything else compliments it.

    What about you girls? Where do you start?

    I start in the bedroom!
    Comfortable in my own skin.

    I start by slowly rolling my pink, fishnet Thigh Highs up my legs, followed by my thong, then to the satin teddy. Then I do my eye lashes, lipstick, nails. After that, I throw on a necklace and finally my long, brunette wig - for me the foundation is the perfect wig

    I start with a pretty dress. I choose what dress I'd like to wear, hopefully something that compliments the mood I'm in. It's no wonder to me that women often say they have nothing to wear when they have a closet full of clothes. I then compliment it with shoes and appropriate jewelry. Hopefully, when I'm done, I have a workable look going.

    Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

    That's an interesting question! Since I dress everyday it really depends on what I'm going to be doing! If I'm going shopping rather it be groceries or whatever I start with my makeup then my hair! Then my clothes! Shoes are last!
    If you don't like the way I'm livin', you just leave this long haired country girl alone:

    Like TGMarla I start with the outfit, suited to my mood and what venue I will be wearing it, then select a pair of shoes from 2 or 3 style options like open toed if suitable and I've had recent pedicure (prefered) , or closed pumps. Cynthia Anne is correct that you have to start with the makeup and hair, but even what makeup I wear and hairstyle has to compliment my outfit and shoes for that overall expression of myself.

    I start with makeup. I basically decide to wear whatever I end up wearing based on how I did my eyes. And I can roll this way because I only go out once every couple of years

    I start with a shave and a shower. Hate to put nice clothes on when I'm hairy and dirty.

    Where to start? Shaving, sadly… Every morning. Such a pain to rid myself of the xy to become xx.
    When lost, alone, or blue I know I can always get through the day, for I've always another shade of lipstick to make things right!

    It is the same story here, but I guess if I was to be a little more inspirational, then it would be on
    deciding what outfit I was going to wear and then to make sure that I had the just the right amount
    of bling to go with it to suit where ever it is or special occasion that I might be going to. Be sure to
    never overdo it.

    It pays to sometimes be a little under-dressed, especially if you are going to a wedding for example
    or you might make the bride feel like she is being upstaged & that you are making a move for her man.
    Don't laugh, because I know of situations like this where this does actually happen!

    It is quite common for natal females to believe that we are trying to outdo them when it comes to fashion.
    My ex-girlfriend got really pissed off when someone paid me a huge compliment about how I looked & not her.

    I start in my head. Somethings says HEY it's Jeannie time go put on some pretty panties, and a pretty bra then then find a pretty top and decide (and don't take all day) what kind of skirt you want to wear, then hair, jewelry and if I have time make up and but here lately it's been just lipstick and then your done. I am done until I hate what I'm wearing and then it's back to the closet. In reality I usually know what I'm going to wear before I start all of this. I don't have lot stuff to begin with so the decision is not that hard. In the last year I have been going more the casual but cute look instead of dress to the nines. I do this because most women I see are usually dressed casual and I just love the sleeveless tank top kind of tops. There kind, sorta like the female version of the wife beater but not really. Maybe?

    I begin at my lingerie chest...mmm, what to wear. What will I wear under that tight top, should I match my lingerie or just wear what I feel like wearing.
    Then it's off to the bathroom for makeup...and my crowning glory....my hair.
    Now I can decide everything else...I'm ready for anything.
    I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !

    I agree with Jeannie, It starts with the thought. then the shower with shaving. I usually have no clue what I'm going to wear until I have tried on my 4th top and 3rd skirt or set of capris. Then on to makeup. Still have no shoes (but that's coming soon!)

    Well, I come up with what I want to wear, leggings, dress, skirt? Then what to wear with it. Assemble the outfit in my mind.

    Following that I figure the makeup design.

    Then I strip, put on the hose that I shall wear with said outfit, then put on my make up. Once that is done I put on the rest of the outfit.
