It sounds like your friend has some self esteem issues that she needs to address. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942582 Mon, 27 May 2013 12:37:42 +0000 Suz 942582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Tracey. Sad about your friend, but hopefully over time things will change for her. Maybe one day she'd like to go thrifting with you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942567 Mon, 27 May 2013 11:30:16 +0000 harmonica 942567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and your confidence shine through! Continue to be proud of yourself, it is really inspirational </p> <p>You seem to have been generous and willing to help her take some steps on making a change and that is really kind of you! It just sounds like she's not quite ready to take the first steps. I would still continue to complement her and&nbsp; be supportive, not just when it comes to style, but whatever she is good at. Everyone has skills and sometimes it can "rub off" from one area in life to another </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942532 Mon, 27 May 2013 07:42:42 +0000 Lyn D. 942532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it sounds as though you have been very generous in the past and that she is just not ready or willing&nbsp;to be helped!<br />Such a shame as she sounds as though she would really benefit from your experience and fashion-expertise.<br />Anyway, keep looking your FAB self around her and if she ever asks try again then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942527 Mon, 27 May 2013 07:14:31 +0000 TraceyLiz65 942527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is a bigger size than &nbsp;me and last year I gave her a brand new coat and a nice jacket for work as a gift since she didn't own a coat of her own and was wearing her boyfriend's and complaining about not feeling feminine. &nbsp;I chose a blazer that was a color she complimented on me and mentioned was a favorite despite the fact that I had never seen her wear purple&nbsp;and it belted to give her a waist line. &nbsp;I also bought her several V-neck tops as she was wearing her boyfriends tshirts and with her large bust they looked awful. I left a box of all things I purchased on her doorstep and she called me in tears thanking me. &nbsp;I asked if they fit telling her I could exchange and she insisted they did. &nbsp;I have never seen her wear any of them...</p> <p>I have offered numerous times to go thrifing, but she swears she never had any luck...I make sure to compliment her when she meets us after work and looks nice. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Her mother is coming next month for her daughter's graduatiion and is a Lifetime member of WW and plans to teach her the program, so maybe if she loses some weight she might feel better. She gained this weight once she began dating the guy and going out more often... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942522 Mon, 27 May 2013 06:38:54 +0000 Lyn D. 942522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps you could start a conversation by offering to her something you no longer wear that would steer her in a new fashion direction. She obviously has thought about it, or wouldn't have made such a comment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942512 Mon, 27 May 2013 05:06:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 942512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Deborah said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942511 Mon, 27 May 2013 04:59:44 +0000 Deborah 942511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great that she thinks you look great but i guess the next step is to encourage her in her own presentation and self confidence.&nbsp; Do you know her well enough to be able to have that kind of input? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-must-be-doing-something-right#post-942509 Mon, 27 May 2013 04:54:16 +0000 Liz A. 942509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a casual person, and even I wouldn't call this dressy.
