Fun Fashion Quotes
In line with Allure’s resolution above, I’d like to share two unattributed quotes I found on the Ladies Pass It On website:
“Fighting the ageing process is like trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has been. Don’t waste time trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to see the beauty in the new.”
“You will regret the years you spent berating your looks, the sooner you can make peace with the vessel your soul lives in, the better. Your body is amazing and important but it does not define you.”
