[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that you need to be stick thin or toned to be attractive or "put together" is complete b.s.

As I say this I am thinking of an acquaintance of mine who is quite large. Her weight goes from large to chubby and lets just say she is not the most svelte or lithe woman around. However, her personality is FABULOUS! She is loud, feminine and loving. Makes friends everywhere she goes and has a horde of male admirers. She is about 5'6 but probably a size 10-11.She ALWAYS looks put together and STANDS OUT in a crowd because:

- She obviously has weight issues due to some health problem and not lifestyle choices. Her arms and legs although chubby are always toned, tan and strong looking. She is an active yogi and cross-fitter
- She never leaves the house without looking done up. 
- Her brown hair is dyed a bright blonde and is always perfectly cut and colored and styled. She is rich so she shells out on fancy salons
- Always has a bright orange/pink/red mani pedi
- Always has dark eyelinger to highlight her eyes, and a bright pink lipstick and clean white straight shiny teeth
- Her clothes are all J Crew or Kate Spade and she tailors each item to fit her chubby body perfectly. 
- Has a large shoe collection; wears wedges to the mall but always looks put together

The way she carries herself you'd think she is Kate Upton. She also has this whole "blonde bombshell" persona going on that guys find very attractive. For women, she is the cute friendly friend and for guys she is the fun blonde bombshell.

[b]Your friend sounds awesome.[/b] I keep picturing Donna from Parks and Rec - I love that character.

I'd love to know how to look more pulled together as someone who is not high maintenance - I don't have bright pedicures all the time (I get peds with no polish), I don't have hair that is always perfectly cut and styled. I'd like to know what the low maintenance version of pulled together would look like. I know it's not going to be AS pulled together, but there's got to be a lazy girl's guide to this as well.[/quote]

Really? A loud, overweight, fake-tanned bleached blonde? She sounds wretched to me.[/quote]

To each her own![/quote]
