I am so frustrated b/c I'm 36 & I still fell like I can't really dress myself right. I usually just wear jeans,T shirts & very plain things. I feel like I dress almost like a kid. I don't understand fashion like other people do! Most women think it's fun to shop for themselves, but I just feel frustrated & overwhelmed, then really annoyed...I usually just leave the store without buy anything! HELP!

    You need a brutally honest friend to shop with you (one who understands you and your style, not somebody who will push you into wearing clothes that aren't you). Also don't feel like you have to take risks. Simple classic looks are the safest and the easiest. Read fashion magazines, look at blogs, pay attention to what the people you are drawn to are wearing. Avoid super trendy. But most of all, don't worry too much about it. If you are happy, confident, and comfortable, that's what matters.

    Most people fall off the fashion wagon. It's normal, just find stuff that you feel looks good and feels good when you wear it. Its not about anyone else but yourself. Don't worry about it :)

    I suggest you stay true to your style and try playing with those two fantastic pieces of clothing. Well cut jeans and awesome T-shirts are always in. Spend a little more on one pair and on one fab tee as an experiment. There's also something else you can do: accessorize; necklaces, purses, shoes, etc. can do wonders on a simple jeans + solid color T-shirt. Oh, and please don't do online shopping, you have to try on the garments first to see how they fit you. Good luck! ;)

    I am in my 40s and am the same way! Never found my style. I've been watching What Not to Wear on youTube for ideas. It does help.

    Try to stick to online shopping, it's much easier than running round the crowded stores and those awful sales racks and you can find fashionable things that you like too so much faster, or maybe try reading a few magazines before going out. I'm 18 and I often cant find things I like in store!
