I Hate What You're Wearing..

Hey, Ladies! I' wonder if people close to you would ever REALLY tell you the truth about your appearance...I've told my KIDS that they dressed in bad taste, but they are young adults and they 1.Didn't think my opinion counted .... or, 2.Aren't impressed with my taste... But what about what you wear? If you were 'off the mark' in your everyday attire...say....too heavy for the clothes you wore, etc...would your friends tell you? If you're like me, you get dressed on auto-pilot. I've thought lately that I probably need to sharpen my 'look', and clean out the "monster".....you know... the 'closet'. What is it about me that I can't get rid of clothes? I bet I could clothe a small country, yet I wear the same things over and over. I tend to sometimes feel like I look like the 'cleaning lady'......(that's my perception!) What's your's? "What you do for yourself - any gesture of kindness, any gesture of gentleness, any gesture of honesty and clear seeing toward yourself - will affect how you experience your world. In fact, it will transform how you experience the world. What you do for yourself, you're doing for others, and what you do for others, you're doing for yourself." |

| Posted about 1 month ago I'm the very honest friend...I don't have a problem telling my friends or family that what they have on is not to my liking. I can't throw away stuff either...I got things in my closet that I know goodness well I will NEVER be able to fit again, but I refuse to throw it out. So my god-daughters come and raid my closet...and I fuss because I don't want to part with my items. And I always wear the same color...black...I've added a little navy and brown...and my friends say I need to add color...Isn't black a color? LOL Ms. Antoinette M.

| Posted about 1 month ago I'm pretty honest with my friends about how they look, if they ask. But I usually don't offer my advice when it comes to stuff like that unless I am prompted or something is over the top and I can't let my friend out the door looking that way. It's not who you are that holds you back. It's who you think you're not. - Unknown |

| Posted about 1 month ago I do. I say what I really think when I'm asked and just being honest sometimes when they dont ask .....especially if I'm going somewhere with them .I want them to look good....My monster is so big it's taking over my attic ..I never throw anything away I still have clothes I wore in high school and I will be lol 37 in 2 days...pretty sad huh! I just cant make myself get rid of anything and I think it may be because I didn't have much growing up ....just a guess..I'm keeping it anyhow... |

| Posted about 1 month ago A person's clothing choices are what make them unique, who am I to say what works for them? If they feel good about themselves then what they are wearing is working. Now if a friend ever asked me to help them change their wardrobe I'd be happy to help but I'd keep their taste in mind while doing so. I don't need to change them, in fact they are a friend because of who they are, if I try to change them I may not like the end result, then where would we be? All of my friends and family look fabulous. The only time I will offer an opinion is if they visibly look shaken up or upset about something, then they don't look good. That's usually when it's appropriate to step in and offer a shoulder anyway. I will only judge those clothing choices on women who dress scanky and who I don't know, and it's usually behind their back not to their face. lol |

| Posted about 1 month ago If someone asked my opinion, I would be honest. DH usually tells me if my clothes do not look nice; he even asked if he could throw out an old pair of worn, sweat pants. I only wore them in the house, but they were very shabby. |

Wow, I also get dressed on auto pilot. I have a closet that's a disaster. I fretted about it all weekend, but didn't do anything about it. I'm less than thrilled with 80% of my wardrobe (we won't discuss the body) Maybe we all think we need more clothes than we actually do. It would be fun if we could just clean out each others' closets. Imagination. . .is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared. (J.K. Rowling) |
