does it make you feel like shit?
I went to a party at the weekend with DH and all the other (younger) women there (who I know and like) are of what I would call the 'shiny' persuasion. ie they all look well put together, have regular haircuts, lovely make-up etc.
One of them spent an awful long time complimenting me on how beautiful I looked, how nice my hair looked, how nice my dress was.
My hair I had curled for a change rather than straightening it or tying it back, my dress was just a slip from Primark covered with a black top teamed with funky tights and about the only thing I can fit into at the moment apart from jeans as I am the heaviest I have ever been.
Anyway - I remember she did say a few times that I was so alternative, she might even have used the word bohemian. To be fair to her I think she thinks she called me fat last time I saw her and so she was trying to make ammends. She didn't at all but she seems to have got it into her head that she did.
I don't want to be 'alternative' or 'bohemian' and I feel like the hippy of the group now.
How do you all feel about your 'look'?
is there any hope for me at all?
