Style judgement

`Why do many women look so dowdy? There is so much choice in the shops` - asks my husband when we see a particularly bad case of frumpiness. He is not the only one who pays attention to what women wear and how we present ourselves. One of my colleagues` PA told me recently that he was aghast to see me wearing a set of crystal-decorated eyelashes; the other commented lately on `that horrid looking TV presenter`; and a stranger complimented me yesterday on `looking glam` in a Michael Kors silk dress and a tiara. Well, men notice but don`t always tell us what they think of our style choices. And if they did, would we want to make more effort?
