My Cups Runneth Over
What do you ladies do to feel pretty in a society that says women over a certain size CAN'T be pretty?
I don't wear makeup very often, but I do try to wear jewelry unless I'm doing housework or something. Since I make my own jewelry, I always have something nice to wear if I want to.
As for clothes... I used to live in sweatpants. When I was working, I wore professional clothes to work and always managed to look decent, if not great. I just didn't want to BOTHER with it. I guess I felt like it was pointless to try because I would never be pretty.
Now that I'm not working, I try to wear jeans every day and the top be flattering. If I wear tshirts, they are not stretched out and stained, but clean and fit well. When/if I find another job, I'm going to make more of an effort with my office clothes.
