I'll offer my opinion if I think it would help, or if vanity is particularly egregious, but it's quite the subjective topic. I find women who don't shave their legs and pits to be less attractive than if they shave, and that's purely vain. Likewise, I maintain my hair length and very briefly style with a paste.

At what point would vanity be going too far? If I got highlights would that be too vain (I'd never be interested in that BTW)? If I carried around more muscle than necessary is that vanity? At what point does excess muscle constitute vanity?

We're talking about landscape design, and that's mostly vanity. I could let whatever grow and it would be fine.

My loose definition of excessive vanity is when happiness and identity are contingent on vain pursuits. Not a great definition considering everything is ultimately in vain.
