This week I have been battling some self um...not necessarily esteem but rather, image issues. The question in my head is...do I like the way I look? I am not so sure that I do. I see myself different than others do, don't we all I'm sure. I see a thin, pretty, sorta funky chick. But then I look in the mirror and I see an overweight, sorta pretty, plain Jane. I think I could stand to lose more weight (work in progress) but that is not a major issue. I cut off my hair the other night, hoping it would somewhat change my perception a bit. I suppose it passed the test of the public i got some rather good reviews today but all from people who like me ( I think) so I can't judge it on that alone. I guess my ultimate question is do I like the way I am perceived? and how am I perceived?
That and I also wonder if I look the way I LIKE? I don't enjoy getting dressed in the morning. It's strange but I feel like I am wearing someone else's skin sometimes. I put on like 4 outfits and each one is worse than the last...sigh...I would rather go out in my Jammie's to be perfectly honest. I want like Stacy and Clinton to show up here and give me 5000 bucks and a crew to change MY LOOK! I could be on t.v one of my to do's before 30...hmm HA!
So my goals this month are to;
fix my hair to my liking
study some new looks maybe buy things outside of the box...jeans?
maybe switch up accessories
The other thing is I just want to feel great about my LOOK, although it is just my outside skin it's important to me to portray the me I want to be.

Andre has nominated himself as my own personal Stacy and Clinton. That's been helpful, truth be told. He loves me enough to tell me the truth. And I don't set him up by asking "does my @#$ look fat in these jeans?"
It's a part of coming up to 30, well, if you ask me and sorta you are asking outside of your head... you know I will tell you the truth so :P yes I like you and I ACTUALLY tell you because I like you well, and you can handle it...YOU WOULD TELL ME IF something wasn't right... therefore, the opinion I give you is yes, because I like you but also because it would be foolish of me to tell you something you wanted to hear being that I am just plain me... and NO YOU ARE NOT PLAIN JANE!!!
Denise - I think you should post a pic of your new hair do! I would love to see it. I am sure it looks great. Isnt it funny how we preceive our bodies? I sometimes catch a glimpse of my self in a mirror and am surprised at what I see there - it is not what I see in my head - that is for sure!!!
For the record - I dont see you as a plain jane - I see you as a vibrant, pretty, young woman. And I think you look pretty awesome!
Shall we call Stacey and Clinton? We could - but I think they might be inclined to say no- this girl doesn't really need us! Grab a few friends - friends who are honest with you and head to the mall. Try it all on- get opinions - who needs Stacey and Clinton! And find the perfect jean for you!
