I do know how to look conservative, a style seen everywhere here in the south. I'm surrounded by older women with age-appropriate short haircuts who you just know, like an aura of conservative value, would never, ever go out looking liberal in tshirts and straight, unfeminine bobs after 50, much less without their makeup and earrings. And that's the problem. They just try harder, all the time.
