Hurt Feelings

This morning as I sit down to write my blog it is a little harder than usual. You see, I got my feelings hurt this morning and I am honestly having a hard time letting it go. I think it hurt so much because someone commented on an outfit that I wore that they didnt' think was good for someone in my position. I don't know who said it because the comment came to me third hand. I really liked that outfit and I don't know that I agree with the comment, but it still had an impact on my confidence.

What I will say is that no matter what a person wears, someone is always going to find fault in it. You can never please all of the people all of the time. You have to dress for you. When you look in the mirror, you have to be pleased by what you see. The reason for this is that confidence comes from that place inside. And, no matter how many people tell you that you look great, unless you believe it, you just won't show confidence. Bottom line, confidence is what makes a woman beautiful.

So, why do I tell you that someone else was able to hurt me and rock my confidence today? It's honest. I try and share with you observations and opinions that I think will help you. I want you to know that every one of us are vulnerable about our appearance. I have met very few women who don't feel self conscious about some part of the way they look. The point of what anatomyofstyle.com does is to help you love what you see in the mirror so that you can feel your best and project confidence. For me, our methods work 95% of the time. But, and this is important, NO ONE has perfect looks all the time.

Unfortunately, other people's opinions often do make a difference in how we feel. Therefore, I want to ask you to do something (if you aren't already doing it)....unless someone asks, don't share your thoughts about their appearance. It isn't fair to us, as women, to be torn down by someone's good intentions. Of course there is always an exception. If you see another woman who hasn't noticed that her top has come down below her breasts, by all means, give her a heads up. But, if what you want to say is just an opinion about not liking what she is wearing....keep it to yourself.
