I feel like I am one of the only women on the planet who don't paint their nails. I guess I don't feel like it! I always smudge them. I hate fake nails! I can't stand the way they feel, ugh!

C. Black nail polish. You cannot tell if it is nail polish or an actual nail condition. I have a co-worker who has a nail fungus and she tells me the reason she uses that color is to cover the fungi. When one chooses that color polish (or ANY very dark color ones), the dirt that can accumulate under the nails cannot be seen.

D. Tail hem dresses (or skirts) like the one below.




E. Mini skirts worn by the 30-year-old (and above) crowd.
30 is not that old, what are you, a teenager

Between you and nz, can your expand on what you mean by dressing like a man? Are jeans, t-shirts and runners in that realm or are we talking when a female dresses up in a tuxedo? Just wondering....

There is a woman where I work, she is pushing 60. She wears short skirts, high heels, to work. She is overweight, and really, the whole look is just not attractive. Her clothes looks like she buys them at "Forever 21", okay, she is wayyy past 21....

She would look much classier, elegant, and I think, even sexier, in a nice skirt, blouse, jacket, and modest heels....come on, F Me shoes, are just not appropriate for work, on fat, old women. She has cankles, for gosh sakes! Just don't do it!

lol! So you think painted nails look childish... except for the most childish color? Example: "Yeah, I'm emo."

(I like painted nails.)

I am not a fashion expert either, but...

Fake Nails - I do understand the logic. But why would a woman want to hide her nails instead of the natural look? Well some if done properly do look that way, just as any other item that enhances instead of replacing a woman's natural beauty.

Generic brands - dont have to be tacky if selected tastefully, nor should they suppresses individuality if a woman's personality is appreciated more importantly

Painted nails - I consider this along side number one, along with make up in general.
It is not inappropriate if applied moderately.

Gladiator type shoes
that seem to wind all the way up to the ankle. We dont live in the 1970's either, but if the retro Mustang and Camaro cars can be interesting, so can this type of footwear, worn on occasions that compliment them.

Lipstick that is a bit too bold - Yes, I agree that it and over-application of gloss, draws attention away from other facial features. And yes, the minimalist can be attractive. But not everyone should have to appear this way. Too many people are different and likely appeal to lots of other people who are also unique.

I like it all except for fake nails (which don't bug me, but I won't wear them) & generic brands (although brand itself makes no difference; all in how you pair it). You guys are pretty dull!

I love RED lipstick and would never give it up for any man. And I like gladiators & other styles which have an "ancient" feel because there's something kind of whimsical & strange about it that I like. My nails often have chunky glitter polish on them & I'm not adverse to black polish either (but prefer it glossy & neat, like lacquer, not chipped & matte).
