Gosh, what strikes me about these pics is most of you look pretty stylish. I don't know how to word this without seeming like I'm saying "aaah, you all look hip and normal" --- I'm not really saying that, because I'm quite a poor judge of appearances.
I clearly dress odd - I stand out as dressing odd, and not in a "she has her own style" way. Just peculiar.
All I can say about that is that, though I might dress in a more stylish way at times...I still screw it up. I get too excited, and want to wear
all of the pretty clothes at once, and wind up looking weird/overdone/mismatched. Or I miscalculate and wear something MUCH too formal for wherever I am going, and feel incredibly awkward being the only person dressed that way. Then, the next time, I think I've learned and dress down, only to end up the only person in jeans, feeling dumpy.
I've given up, and have just started asking my husband, "Do I match? Is this appropriate for where we're going?" or, I'll get dressed a few hours before we have to go anywhere. If, in the time frame before we leave, I realize that I feel really uncomfortable in what I'm wearing, then I take it all off and start over again, usually in a much less complicated/elaborate outfit. I feel like getting dressed appropriately shouldn't be this difficult! Ha.
