I recently bought my first house exactly one week before my 29th birthday! I feel like I'm finally starting to come into my own as a grown woman and I want my appearance to reflect that more. Right now it's not very cohesive and can honestly be a little disheveled and juvenile at times. My hair is currently in starter locs so I can't really do anything with it besides waiting for them to mature and my specific taste is quite different from yours (I guess "alternative" would be the right word). But I would still really appreciate your advice on clothes, makeup, and any general tips on how to look more put together and grown. Thank you!
Congratulations on your first home! That's such a huge milestone and is very impressive especially in this market (assuming you live in the U.S).
I would suggest seeking out beauty gurus and content creators that best reflect what you want to achieve for inspiration. I emphasize beauty gurus because I think you should look into ones that actually teach you instead of a 2 minute tiktok thrown together with many cuts and time jumps.
These are just a few for a starting point:

Look into different magazines (whether physical or digital) to subscribe to. Some of the best inspiration comes from the least thought of sources and most people tend to run straight to tiktok or YouTube or instagram but I think flipping through a magazine and bookmarking pages or even cutting out pictures is a lost art.
iD, System, OE, and Dansk are all great magazines to get alternative inspiration from.
Learning how to piece things together and look more put together will take a lot of trial and error. What looks put together on someone else might not have the same effect on you. Look into The Kibbe Body Type Test and if you choose to follow this guide then it'll help guide you on how to dress for your body.
