Truth is, some girls just aren't into clothing and product like others. Some just don't see the point and consider it being fake, some prefer to be comfortable, some just have low self esteem and some think they just look
that good that they don't have to put forth more effort.
Personally, I love my jeans and t-shirts, but I also love my hair and make up. I dress up very well every time I go out, though. I didn't used to. My ex was pretty much a dick and wrecked my self image. After that split, it took me a while to become more comfortable with myself again and I took baby steps.
This might take a couple of months to pull off, but I would suggest trying this route:
1) Don't buy her something that is a far departure of what she normally wears. She will see this as judgement. It might not be a pretty result.
2) Instead, try to follow along her current style, just vamp it up a bit. If she like jeans and t-shirts, try to get her in a pair of jeans that are dressier. The trick is to get her more comfortable in her own skin.
These might work:

Doesn't have to be the exact same ones, but look at the color and cut.

3) When you get her into something more form fitting and showing just a little more skin, give COMPLIMENTS!!! You have to give a little to get a little, right? You have to let her know she looks great or she won't keep progressing.
4) Go a little more bold, such as:

5) Hmmmm... more compliments! Also try suggesting espadrilles to go with them. These will be a little more comfortable because they give more to balance on and you can get them in lower height. Remember, girls aren't born knowing how to walk in this stuff, we have to learn and it isn't easy. They hurt more the higher they are.
6) Offer her a trip to the salon. Girl's don't like shelling out $85 + for that and it takes a lot of time to do at home. If you offer, she'll most likely take you up on it.
Her confidence will be higher, making her
want to wear these things. Don't load these on her all at once! She will be defensive. Try one a week or so. She will get bolder on her own if you play your cards right. If none of this works, you've got yourself a woman that doesn't care about being a woman. Either accept that she just wants to be comfortable, or it's time to move on.
Good luck!
Very useful post. Thanks a lot.
Especially your last sentence is probably spot on. And i can already tell you that IF there is no way to change her clothing style, i need to move on.
Lets hope for the best. I'll give this time and go step by step. Difficulty is of course that i'm not into clothing stuff, i just see and judge on the street. Going shopping together therefore would be cool.
