@Creagan, Coldwater Creek carries a number of linen pieces. They're a bit pricey, but you might find a nice pair of slacks or a good jacket that would be really versatile and make it worth the price. I think Uniqlo also has a line of natural fiber garments, and I found this site: http://cheekscapemay.com/index.php I didn't have time to look through and see what all the styles were like, but they might have some things for you. Granted, shopping online isn't ideal, but it probably broadens the range of availability for you.

They're also going out of business, so I think everything's on sale or will be.

Take a look at how you're wearing your hair. There's no one length or style that reads "grown-up" on all people, but make sure you're maintaining your cut, styling it neatly, and avoiding whimsical hair accessories. Unnatural hair colors don't help with the whole looking younger thing, either.
Maybe this is part of the problem? My hair's waist-length and auburn (my natural color.) I generally wear it down, with my bangs (which are shoulder-length) pinned out of my face or pushed back with a nice head band. The ends are trimmed evenly and I keep it very neat, but I've never actually been to a salon. For interviews I'd put it in a bun or french twist. But maybe I should look into getting a professional cut? (I can post a picture if that'd help.))
Yes yes a thousand times yes, even if it's not a drastic style change just having your hairstyle cleaned up by a professional will go a long way!
And I'm surprised you have a hard time finding cotton clothes, pretty much all of my clothes from Gap/American Eagle/etc. are 100% cotton. Linen and silk are much tougher cookies because they're both naturally expensive materials, but Ann Taylor/LOFT have a decent selection and their clearance racks are a treasure trove.
It's not a universal rule, but a lot of the time wearing long hair down will make you look younger. Though I know you said you put it up for interviews, and that might age you up a bit. Anyway, seconding a professional cut regardless of the outcome.
Well first off she's mad at whomever it was at the optometrist's that helped you, because any optician worth their salt should be able to fit you in a pair of glasses, that you need, that you're paying lots of money for.
Problem 1: The frame you have on is too small. You do not want the temple (arms) to flare out, they should go straight back without pressing against the side of your head.
Problem 2: They're not deep enough. The lens size needs to be deeper (taller vertically is how I would word it as a layman).
Problem 3: the temples are too short. they should be long enough to curve around the ear. It doesn't have to cup the back of your ear or anything, but the temple should be long enough that they can adjust the bend in the temple. If you have trouble finding frames with temples that are long enough you should look at Nike with Flexon, or Oakley frames. They go straight back with no bend whatsoever.
If you want a plastic frame, you need to look for a pair with a rounder/wider bridge or more square bridge. If you get a pair with nose pads they can adjust the nose pads and the bridge doesn't matter.
An example of the square bridge:
The shape of the frames are fine, in terms of complimenting your face.
If you're near DeWitt, Michigan you can stop by and she'd be happy to help you look at frames.

Put your hand up on your monitor so I can high-five you through the internet.
It depends on what jobs you're looking for. If you're going into business, you probably want to shave it. If you're going into investment banking, definitely shave it. If you're looking at more artsy jobs, it's probably fine.
Also, I'd like to thank everybody for the advice! I'll start looking into getting a "real" haircut. Is the hair-washing thing standard in salons? I'm not sure how I feel about that.

You do not want a dry cut. Not unless the hairdresser knows your hair really well.
The hair washing thing is just someone washing your hair. It's like a massage for your head. It's relaxing.
I'm really sensitive to pain. And massages hurt. So does having other people wash my hair. That's kind of the main reason I haven't gone to a salon ever. That and I don't like strangers touching my head.
But I guess I can tolerate a wet cut if it gets high school boys to stop hitting on me.
Well, i mean. They're trained professionals who should be very gentle, and you can tell them you have a sensitive scalp. Look, it's up to you. I'm just saying if you're gonna blow the cash on a proper haircut then may as well maximise the chances of it coming out excellent.

If you have naturally curly hair, you definitely want a dry cut from a curly hair specialist. Otherwise yeah, wet cut.

I think you'll appreciate this, but I need advice from the thread at large.
I need to decide whether to shave this thing off before I graduate.
I'd trim it up so that it has its own well defined shape. And clean up the mustache a bit, since it looks like they'll probably never blend together I'd try for good mustache and good beard as two separate things, or just go for one or the other.

That would be really flattering on you.

edit: especially for hair like mine which gets very static very easily.
I just bought those shoes last week for my trip to the Bahamas tomorrow. What I'm saying is that you have excellent taste.
