[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a comfortable income and am thin.  I don't post judgy remarks about people's looks/attire.  Perhaps this post does not fully apply to me but I'll offer the following comments.

If you watch the show "What Not To Wear," Clinton/Stacy never tell anyone to lose weight.  They try to get people to wear clothing that is size appropriate and flattering to their body type no matter what the size of the week's guest.  Everyone has a body type and figure, no matter how overweight.  Pear shape, round, square, whatever.  Dress to that type. For instance, they point out that capri pants shorten the body and do not flatter.  Loud prints and blaring colors similarly are not flattering; neither is an all-black palette.

Work with what you have.  Dress with taste and with confidence.  And judgy women are never in style and no one on DCUM likes their obnoxious posts.[/quote]

This! Watch "What Not To Wear" and figure out what you look good in based on your body type. It's all about rocking your silhouette. And don't forget your confidence. It goes a long way to feeling good in your own skin and in the world. Have you considering a stylist? It's expensive, but they can teach you what works for you and target your shopping. For example, I have large breasts. I know I have to find v-necks, even when I spy pretty tops that would never work out for me.

I wouldn't remark on your capris, more casual mommy style ever. I'd be more likely to notice you struggling with your three kids in a metro elevator and offer to help. FWIW - I'm not rich or super thin, just happy with myself. I think you need to indulge a little in your inner sexy. Just saying.[/quote]

I tend to notice people's moods and presence more than anything else.  Maybe because I'm trying to work on my own?  (Less frantic, more calm!)

Anyway, confidence and knowing what looks good on your body type goes a LONG way!!  As does a genuine smile and a peaceful/happy mind.

On the other hand, being thin and wearing expensive clothes does not guarantee attractiveness.  We all know size 2 women with expensive clothes and hair who rush around with sour, angry looks on their faces (perhaps because they're starving and thinking of food they'll never let themselves eat?)  Well, I similarly know and see lots of women who are size 14+ who are the opposite -- put together nicely and radiating a sense of comfort in their own skin.  I love that and try to do the same.
