Sometimes you may want to fit in, sometimes to stand out.

Your confidence in your own appearance may go up and down.

If you get into good habits, this will become easier and more fun, and will leave you plenty of time for other things. Put together a basic wardrobe of clothes that make you feel good and that work for your lifestyle. Look after your face, body and hair. See if make-up works for you. Shop carefully and in the right places to make the most of your budget.
