[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's not confuse "letting yourself go" with "getting older."  Many of the things cited here as "letting yourself go" are actually just consequences of aging, which every single one of us will do.  Most women don't go from caring about their appearance in their 20s and early 30s to not giving a flying fig in their late 30s/40s.  So the women in their late 30s/early 40s who might look like they've "let themselves go" are more than likely just older versions of the same person they were at a younger age. They didn't necessarily "let themselves go" but rather, your looks simply become harder to maintain and control as you get older.

My point is that women who look like they've "let themselves go" are probably the type who have always been very low maintenance and who have not cared all that much about how they look.

I agree with this. I'm pretty much the same person at 53 that I was at 25. I can dress up when I want to and look very nice, but mostly I'm a casual person who wears just a bit of makeup, uses chapstick for lipstick, and wears very curly, wash-and-go hair, never straightened. I wear glasses, never contacts. Most of the time, I prefer casual clothes and comfortable shoes. (I used to wear great shoes more regularly, but my feet can't really take heels anymore and require a good supportive arch. So it's sneakers for me much of the time.) This is me; this has always been me.[/quote]
