I should have spent most of my 20s naked. . .

Ugh at 43 I'd love to look like I did at 30!!

Seriously I look back at my Fiona days as I wake up now in my 50s to my Shrek days

All true, but we can make the most of the age we are now. While "beauty" may be reserved for the young, nothing prevents one from looking attractive at any age....Right? (this is what I tell myself).

I was pretty when I was younger but always tried to wear frumpy clothes and minimal makeup so that my colleagues would take me more seriously and I wouldn't feel so insecure walking on the streets by myself. Now that I'm 45, I have the invisibility I've always wanted and I almost ALWAYS wear makeup and try to look put together. Ack, you don't know what you have until it's gone.

Problem isn't getting old, it's the weight gain as you get older.

I think about this all the time. And when you are 60, 45 will look great too. So be kind to yourself and get in the photo. A smile makes every photo look great.

When a woman is beautiful and gets older, she is simply an older beautiful woman.

I knew how pretty I was when I was a teenager, and I love(d) being beautiful. If it is any consolation, I'm in my 30s now and know I won't look like this forever, and that's really hard.

Yes, I have a full life and other priorities, but man, contemplating the time when I will no longer be pretty is tough. Maybe tougher than never having been pretty.

You’re probably still pretty.
I peaked in my early 30’s.

Im 31. I just realized how pretty I was when I was in my teens and twenties. I cannot believe I thought I was ugly and dressed poorly!
