Has anyone found it hard to be a converted muslim, and a british woman?

I am british, and since meeting my now husband i converted to islam and moved to an arab country my life is happy and full. But when i return home for visits i find it hard. I feel that because i cover my body and my hair that i dont fit in anymore, and i dont feel attractive. When i am out with friends or family members, and when i attend parties i feel out of place and to be honest i feel like an old woman. Everyone else regardless of how old they are, are wearing nice clothes, have great looking hair, and just look fab, while there i am wearing hijab and loose covering clothes looking boring and like i shouldnt be there. Is there a way round this, can anyone give me advise? I dont want to feel like this as i love being a muslim but its how i feel and i cant change that.
