I for one do not fall for the exaggerated magazine looks. They have been there for more years than I have been around, which is a lot more than most here on this site. Those "looks" are seen in women's and men's fashions, automobiles ads , tools ads, and whatever else they sell in magazines, billboards and television. I don't think that the tgirls that may try to copy those looks are fooled by the sales pitches. I think that like the look, feel and internal opinion that they look good in what they wear. I also think that they truly do know how they "really" look, but enjoy it anyway. That is good. It goes with the saying "Dance like no one is watching you". I think that most here have their personalized vision of how they like to dress and what they actually look good in. I say dress like you want to, but do not expect everyone else to like it. When I look through the magazines, I am looking for what may look good on me, in my own opinion, and how to put together an interesting and attractive outfit for going out on the town. Yes, I am concerned what others may think, but I am also not afraid to break the "age appropriate" rule that so many here recommend. I also find that almost all the time I am OK and do not really dress inappropriately.
In summary, I think that most know exactly what they are doing in comparison to the real world. If they are happy, that is all anyone can ask.
