Heather: I feel prettiest after a lovely facial and haircut!1 year ago
Michelle: Like Karen, it’s my husband who makes me feel prettiest. Getting ready for a night out, I often drive myself crazy getting hung up on every perceived flaw–a blemish, bangs that won’t fully cooperate, the ghost-like hue of my sunshine-deprived legs…I can ruin my good time before it even begins by beating myself up over my imperfections. But then I’ll walk out of the bathroom and my husband will smile and tell me I look great. He doesn’t notice my smudged manicure or that one hair that won’t fall into place, or even the blemish that I’m convinced is taking on a life of its own. He just likes what he sees. If he notices any detail, it’ll be something I hadn’t appreciated at all–how much greener my eyes look with extra liner, or the way my long, dangly earrings brush against my neck. Those small things are enough for him to think I look amazing. How can you not feel pretty when someone sees the whole package and loves it for what it is, instead of caring about what it isn’t?1 year ago

Now I have vintage pumps in every color, plus pink alligator and teal lace! Something about the clickety clack of bustling down the city streets in a perfectly fitting pump (paired with a strand of fake pearls that go down to my waist, at least!) makes me feel like I’m in a 60s movie about a metropolitan gal.
