Love the title of this thread. </p> <p>I also like that Blackbird is giving me a go-ahead to go shopping.....been thinking about going shopping for a few weeks now, even though I have no money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345574 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:25:36 +0000 blackbird 345574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a lot to be said for putting makeup on, doing your hair, and having a really great outfit that you know looks good. All you ladies who say "no" really need to do something nice for yourselves! Everybody deserves to look good and FEEL it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345462 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:19:43 +0000 anonysquire 345462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345445 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:06:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 345445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: I totally get the "not knowing what your style is" thing.</p> <p>I used to love Forever 21 and H &amp; M for cute little dresses and funky tops and now I walk in those stores and am like WTF... I am WAY too old for this stuff (even though I am still the same age!). I want to be cute but not look young, but I don't want to look old either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345441 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:03:19 +0000 Pink Champagne 345441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a struggle... I made the mistake of trying to go shopping yesterday when I still have about 6 lbs of pregnancy weight to lose (I'm 5'3, that's a lot of weight and it's all on my butt and thighs, for those of you who think "oh, that's nothing" ;) ) I don't know what I was thinking trying on SKINNY JEANS.<br /> WTF.<br /> I don't recognize my body, and have no clue what my style is anymore.<br /> I am trying to stay positive though, and I just started Weight Watchers which is helping me to feel more in control over losing the weight.<br /> I also am trying to get out of the house more, which gives me an excuse to put on makeup and actually blow dry my hair.<br /> I have, however, not shaved my legs for 3 weeks. I am a Wookie. Poor DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345381 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:23:53 +0000 DpeachLu 345381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its been a long while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345376 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:21:07 +0000 autumnlove 345376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345375 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:20:36 +0000 winniebee 345375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt pretty good a few weeks ago when I realized I'd lost my pregnancy weight - now I"m feeling a little frumpy b/c I need a haircut and eyebrow wax....and I've been in yoga pants for days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-345370 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:15:18 +0000 shinystraps 345370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh.

Exactly. I have no cute warmer clothes, and it makes me want to cry. I'm sporting workout clothes everyday. I fool everyone into thinking I workout all the time the way I dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-344934 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:35:02 +0000 Smurfette 344934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-344929 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:34:24 +0000 chopsuey 344929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to ..

And I definitely find it hard to feel "hot" in flats. But the day I got my non-fat pre-preg jeans on, I felt like I was on top of the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-344922 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:30:58 +0000 ladyfingers 344922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!

I used to all the time. I work in a professional setting and I used to love putting together my outfits and doing my hair/makeup routine in the morning, leaving the house feeling like I look great/professional. I used to love my clothes so much. Now it's a miracle if it fits and is clean. If I can actually blow dry my hair? Bonus! But usually it's some sort of a lazy up-do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-344817 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:56:53 +0000 Springtime 344817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't felt like that in a LONG time!

So 3 years ago! But I did feel like that once in a while pre-kids. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-344763 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:41:36 +0000 runsyellowlites 344763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, oddly enough I was a hot mess but I felt gorgeous! That was Monday...... getting back into my prepreg pants may have helped that though. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-look-at-yourself-in-the-mirror-and-think-wow-i-look-really-good-today#post-344759 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:38:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 344759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, I used to.</p> <p>I realized this morning that it has been months (maybe a year?) since I felt great about the way I looked. I mean, I don't hate my post baby body, but I don't really make as much of an effort anymore. I feel like I am in the yoga pants mommy rut. </p> <p>I need more excuses to get dressed up and feel great about myself. </p>
