I agree with all the others clothes makes a big difference and make up. You can always go to a salon that has makeup artists and get them to do your hair and makeup to make you look more mature and ask them to tell you what colors to get, what brands, etc. As far as clothes, I would buy smaller adult sizes, then get them TAILORED!!! They have those you know, tailors, crazy I know! LOL I have to get alot of my clothes tailored as well, so don't feel bad about it. Clothes sizes are just a general type thing, what you do is get a size that best fits in most places and get it tailored in the others. For me for example... pants, I have a big butt, hips, but a smaller waist then most with my size butt and I'm short. So I normally have to get pants that fit on the butt without smushing it, then I get the top part taken in, otherwise I have that back gapping thing going on, and I get it hemmed at the bottom so they aren't too long otherwise I end up walking on my pants! As far as dresses, jackets, etc. you are going to want to find ones that are narrow at the waist, dresses with the belts at the waist create a waisted look that will make you look like you have an hourglass figure. I agree that a good pair of heels instead of sneakers will make a HUGE difference, boots, etc. if you can't walk in heels you can get short heels or get wedged heels, wedged are extremely easy to walk in. If you must wear sneakers, make sure they aren't kiddish.
Now on the subject of makeup, MAC is very pricey, so if you can't afford it, I use Sheer Cover as my foundation and I LOVE it! It is guaranteed to match your skin tone and comes with instructions, you can't go wrong! I like it better than Bare Essentials, I have tried both. As far as mascara I use maybeliene (think that's how it's spelled), I use loriel (dunno spelling again lol) lip stain and gloss, and the eye shadow I use is from Coastal Scents it's the 88 eyecolor and I use makeup brushes, brushes are better in my opinion. Oh before I put my eyeshadow on I use a eye shadow primer. I normally buy my sheer cover when in the states from Bed, Bath and Beyond, they have it. The other stuff you can get at target, walmart, etc. I just don't see any point in spending all that money on MAC when other stuff works just as well.
Btw, who is that in your avatar pic?
