It's different for different people, and for a woman it's important to look as good she wants to look. But you don't need to do it for someone else or to impress some male out there. You do it for your own sake. You wear what makes you feel good, you put make-up and jewellery - whatever gives you self-confidence.

There is no conflict in looking good. You buy things you need, and then you do something good for society.

It's very important to balance things; it's imperative to do something for the society, and women in particular, and help women who aren't in position to help themselves.
