Unless you are enemies it can't hurt to say something nicely.  [b]Why do folks have to go running to HR for everything?[/b]
Instead of you both having a brief convo she would have an embarring conversation on her work record.  Does she deserve that?

I would tackle hygiene only and not worry about the disheveled appearance.  At least not now.

Since you as also overweight you could say somthing like"gosh it so hot out, thank goodness I started using this new deoderant"  or "I am glad my mother told me to put gold bond in my bra on hot days like these".
You figured it out not help your fellow woman don't embarrass her further.

I am sure there is a time when you had something in your teeth, smudged makeup, a rip, a stain, something embarassing and when someone finally told you, or you finally noticed it yourself you thought "I spoke to 15 people today, I wish I would have known sooner".  Suck it up and say something!

+1. Clearly it's more awkward since this woman works in HR, but everything doesn't need to go through HR. A polite conversation is all that is needed.[/quote]
