I think you were being self conscious. Sounds like you were slaying and feeling good, but then started over analysing a couple of comments.
I felt like an older woman trying to be a little girl not a sensual woman.
Do you think all the guys giving you the eye and trying to flirt saw you as a little girl they just want to play hopscotch with lol?
Experiment with your presentation by all means. However, it *seems* from your story that you were comfortable with your choice until these two comments. This suggests to me that working on your internal confidence is more pertinent atm. I wrote another post further back, but I think when changing presentation one should still stick with what makes you feel good and radiate, rather than what you think you should wear.
The very first compliment my SO gave me back when we were associates was that I looked "so cute" one day. Even though I was very connected with my sensuality/sexuality at the time I didn't over analyse it. As a sensual, confident woman, take compliments. Say thank you and KIM.
Later I found out that cute is very important to SO, as much as sex appeal. Yes, he found me very sensual and "hot"

but having a cute type face also made me more of a catch in his eyes and also it's a more appropriate compliment for the situation
. I think this is a good example of the benefits of not reading into things too much.
JMO, but I don't think there is an automatic cute vs sensual unless you make it so. They are not divorced. Halle Berry and Janet Jackson had the cute factor back in the day, but were still seen as sensual women. Same now with Mila Kunis, Jessica Alba, Kylie Minogue etc.. Mya has been mentioned too and she always had a cute/sexy factor in her promos. Stacey Dash had cuteness too. Really harnessing the two can be one of the killer combinations imo.
