What can I do to look my age?

Question

I am a 22 year old female who is graduating college. I am trying to get into the work world, but I feel like my appearance is not taken seriously because I look young. Most people assume I am 14 or 15. Actually, I am told, "Wow, but you look so young!" constantly and it is not so flattering anymore. I want to be taken seriously and respected, but I feel like this appearance issue stands in my way. I am a 5'3 brunette who is in shape and dresses maturely. I don't expose much skin, I wear very natural makeup, and I don't get it! Any advice would be enormously appreciated!!!

Answer 1

I don't know but I have the same problem. I am 21 and people said I look like if I was 15 but I didn't care cause I rather look young then my age cause by the time I am 40 I will look like in my early 20's =)
