What's a word for a woman who cares about her appearance, but with a positive connotation? Vain is too negative, dapper can't be used. Help!
 
I made a mistake at work, then instructed another person wrong so she made a mistake too. It wasn't entirely my fault, and it can probably be fixed, but feels shitty anyway.

In addition to that, my relatives that are pretty much my only human contact nowadays had their kid possibly in contact with Corona so they are now in quarantine for two weeks. Well, perfection at work and human contacts are overrated anyway.

Several Croatian words come to mind that can be used contextually, one is the exact match for your case. English translation per internet would be "elegant"

A well-groomed woman
(a well-groomed person is very neat and tidy, and looks as if they have taken care over their appearance)

A fastidious woman
(very attentive to and concerned about accuracy and detail. "she dressed with fastidious care" / very concerned about matters of cleanliness.)

A well-kempt woman
(of hair, etc.: carefully combed, neatly styled. Of a person: having carefully combed or neatly styled hair; (more generally) of clean and tidy appearance. Also in extended use, esp. of a garden, park, etc.: diligently tended or cared for; tidy)

That might be the best. I am not sure if there is such an word (for this) having a (per se) positive connotation, per definition.
Perhaps, looking at this topic, this is rather a matter of interpretation. A subjective opinion.

I mean, if a person is a bit less tidy or less dressed / accurate, people may not per se always think less positive about them.

I've been absent lately because work was killing me (not in the way the previous job was, I'm just still adapting to my new role), but what was even worse was my internet connection. It was so fucking bad. It'd work, but slowly, for like 15 minutes, then wouldn't work at all for 15 minutes, and sometimes it wouldn't work for hours. Sometimes it'd work when I'm next to the router, but not in another room. So I got a new internet provider and they installed (mostly) everything and I'm really content right now.

So I'm gonna go back to being more active. VOTE in TCoE!
 
Almost everything my uncle posts on facebook recently is a link to some news source I've never heard of. So I look them up and discover that they all describe themselves as morally upstanding shining beacons of truth, but are described by almost everyone else as extreme right-wing nutjobs who are know for peddling false or misleading information :S
