[quote=Anonymous]Hey, OP. I had the same feeling after a long period of illnesses, passings, all sorts of painful, all-consuming things. I'm really, really cheap, too. But still-- I went for the paid help. Put myself in the hands of a nice stylist for hair and makeup. Went to Nordstrom and Ann Taylor Loft during a weekday morning when it wasn't busy and said, 'I've had a couple of hard years. I've gained weight. My clothes all look awful. I don't know what size I even am now. Help me.' And they did, and were very kind and helpful. This may sound kind of basic, but it doesn't occur to me to ask for help. But once I did, problem kinda almost solved. There are people out there that love to help with this sort of thing. So schedule one day for hair and makeup. Hell, get a paid shopping consultant if you can swing it. I also paid an organizer to come help me go through family heirlooms and keepsakes. We got done in a couple of hours what I had struggled to even start for months. And, babe, you aren't ugly. Tired, surely, but ugly? Eff that s;:/! You are a rock star. I guarantee your husband and kids think you're the most beautiful thing they've ever seen. [/quote]
