I’m attempting to try some things that are more of the “feminine” nature. I’m not much of a girly-girl these days, and I’ve let it get to the point where it might be somewhat off-putting. I’m working on this by doing small things like painting my nails and toes, growing my hair longer, wearing a tiny bit (really tiny bit) of makeup, and smelling really good all the time.

I tried to pluck my eyebrows the other day, and it was a disaster! Who came up with this torture? Perhaps I’ll leave that one to a professional. 10 months ago

The hand-knit scarf got some attention while I was out. The sweater thing is new (and comfy). I still feel like I looked a little sloppy, but maybe I’m just being critical.

This is still an improvement from the outfit I would usually wear, which makes me look like a 12-year-old boy.

I put forth some effort into my outfit today, even though I was just going to my parent’s house. I’m really going to try to do this because I need to feel better about myself. Times are hard.
