Please share your fashion and/or grooming beliefs that begin with "Life's too short to ___."

I'm sure I have many, but here's my first one:

Life's too short to hang onto things, hoping they'll come back in style.

...waste time feeling fat and unattractive. I decided awhile ago to either be happy with what I look like or, if I am truly miserable, actually take measures to change things.

Had to come back to this thread to say:

@April - good job closet editing!

@Marianna and Steph - counting calories can be utterly obsessive. I love hearing that you're celebrating the lovely bodies you have.

@Random thoughts and Taylor - that's getting to the heart of it

@Kari - you just made Taylor happy!

@Zap - you deserve to spulrge once in a while.

@Laura - that's why we wear voluminous dresses!

Angie, actually, I DO count calories (at times; it depends on where my weight is). It's how I keep my body looking a way that makes me happy. But I don't obsess about a few pounds and I don't allow myself to be miserable about my looks, if that makes sense.

That sounds like a perfectly sound strategy to me, Steph. Makes absolute sense

This is not my personal philosophy, but a friend shared this with me the other day, and while I don't agree, I thought it was too funny not to share.
Her philosophy is- "If my dog doesn't care, then why should I?"

. . . save your 'good' clothes for just the right time to wear them. Enjoy them now; don't let them gather dust waiting for that perfect opportunity! I'm learning this one. :0
