I have to be honest...I wouldn't take fashion advice from a designer seriously if they were walking around in a ratty house robe and bunny slippers all the time. But I would not dismiss them on a strictly personal level because of the way they were dressed.
I remember being out with a girlfriend once and a guy was hitting on her. This was not a problem, I was married at the time and had no interest in this guy's friend, but he wouldn't even look my direction let alone engage in a conversation with the "fat chick". That was years ago, but it stuck with me as the first time that I took notice that I was 100% judged on my appearance. I know that guy was a shallow jerk, but I took it as a good lesson in life. |

I have also noticed that my comments are not required or listened to seriously about anything to do with beauty or diet. I don't really care, as at 43 I don't need to impress anyone.. but I've definitely noticed it in passing.
I also have noticed that people are not as friendly as they were when I was say, 20 pounds lighter than I now am (which I was for many years). I would have been just on the cusp of overweight/obese at the time, which I think makes a lot of difference in appearance compared to now. I wasn't living in the same city as I now am, but I really am not so sure that the changes are to do with geography... I really think it might have something to do with appearance too. People I meet are friendly, but coolly so these days. Oh well, their loss. I'm a super-fun, smart and cool person to hang out with!! ;) |
