I'm wanting to "grow up" in my style. I usually wear nothing but printed t-shirts and jeans, and my vans. I'm turning 20 this month, and I've always wanted to approach a different more mature style. A couple months ago when I was visiting my boyfriend he came home from work and I was dressed in jeans, my vans and I had a black tank top on with a really nice tailored pink button down** shirt with small black pinstripes, the sleeves were belled at the ends and had the same snaps at the end making it more open around my hands (I wish I had a photo but I borrowed the top from a friend, I do not have it anymore). But my boyfriend was really into it, couldn't keep his eyes off of me, complimented me on how gorgeous I looked. I want to start altering my wardrobe to more stuff like this, but I don't quite know how to without being to drastic. Not to mention I'm worried about over dressing. Any help would be nice.
Also, I'm moving further south and spring is sneaking up. I hate wearing shorts, and skirts mostly because my tops don't look right at all with either. Dresses I'm not against but if I wear one just to be wearing one, I tend to have a home sick feeling, and slightly out of place (overdressed). I really don't know what to do.
**when I say button down it wasn't buttons but it was the same "snaps" used for bras.
