I had a meeting to attend tonight and was amazed and encouraged by all your wisdom and kindness. Thank you so much for providing a lovely ending for the day, sunshine after the clouds and rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657854 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:27:31 +0000 catgirl 1657854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My post did not go through! I think you look amazing. I just read an article about a young woman who supposedly has the perfect facial ratio scientifically. She is very pretty, of course, but one male commenter stated "her face tells no story" and that really struck me. The people I truly find most attractive are the ones whose faces look like they have stories to tell. Nothing wrong with perfection but so called "flaws" are what add character in my mind. </p> <p><a href="http://sfglobe.com/2015/03/19/florence-colgate-has-the-most-beautiful-face-in-the-world-scientifically/" rel="nofollow">http://sfglobe.com/2015/03/19/.....tifically/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657820 Tue, 10 May 2016 02:43:42 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1657820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! You look so beautiful, and I think Rachy's description "wonderfully at ease" is perfection. Do you know how many times I have looked at your WIW's and thought how nice it would be to look as trim and fit as you do? Thank you for following Angie's example and embracing your summer body, I need to do the same... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657809 Tue, 10 May 2016 02:31:12 +0000 rachylou 1657809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I love this.

Joy you look as gorgeous as always. Good for you to get the ball rolling right away, overheating is SUCH good extra motivation isn't it? I hope you felt as breezy and comfortably elegant as you look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657668 Mon, 09 May 2016 22:12:14 +0000 kerry 1657668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for this, Joy. Most of the ladies around me at your age have given up for the comfies. Nothing wrong with that but it's nice to see you here so stylish. You're a great role model. And, like everyone else, I don't see flaws but rather beauty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657663 Mon, 09 May 2016 22:08:19 +0000 Suz 1657663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you look beautiful and elegant -- full stop. Brava for choosing to wear what will be comfortable in the heat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657642 Mon, 09 May 2016 21:41:04 +0000 Anonymous 1657642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF. Joy. I love how you paired the skirt with a long cardi, it looks so elegant. </p> <p>I appreciate your diving in on the summer challenge (still too cold for me, but I will be jumping on board when it gets above 80). This outfit is a perfect example to me of how artful, stylish dressing can hide perceived flaws, even those we believe are in plain sight. The classic sophistication of your outfit and your poise in the pics mean I don't notice the issues you mention. In these pics, you look like you're feeling confident (even if you aren't) and that confidence is what catches my eye. </p> <p>To delurked's point: since the challenge is designed to help us work past our various concerns, I think we need to name those concerns so others know where we are coming from. I don't think this means we are negatively focused on flaws, just pointing out what we are either trying to accept, or we *do* accept and we think society doesn't. (But if I got that wrong, please someone enlighten me so when I do post, i don't sound like I'm being too hard on myself). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657579 Mon, 09 May 2016 20:07:00 +0000 Anonymous 1657579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Joy, you're an inspiration.

That's the word that would not come to mind...another joy of aging, all those words and names that you know but just don't manifest themselves when you need them.<br /> Thank you each for your encouraging words.<br /> Chris, I've found that while adults don't mention our aging bits, children do. They notice and younger ones will ask about big blue ropey veins or chin hairs.<br /> The shock is looking in the mirror and seeing your grandmother when you feel that basic inner you is still the same as it always has been. But time ticks on and there is no stopping it or turning it back </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657352 Mon, 09 May 2016 13:37:50 +0000 Angie 1657352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look WONDERFUL.&nbsp;</p> <p>I see lovely legs and décolleté.

I guess there are some fools who might say negative&nbsp;things&nbsp;but I don't run into them. &nbsp;It's like we are all afraid of something other people are really NOT thinking </p> <p>Love your comment about how doing damage control can ruin your life where accepting the new reality is much better.&nbsp; I think it applies to a lot of areas beyond fashion. Best to&nbsp;accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative...(like that old song from the 40's)</p> <p></p> <p>Love the outfit!!! You do neutrals really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657324 Mon, 09 May 2016 12:58:51 +0000 Colette 1657324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you look beautiful and are very inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657320 Mon, 09 May 2016 12:43:34 +0000 Judy 1657320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my first post. &nbsp;I love hearing that I'm not alone in my obsessions! &nbsp;Your photos show a lovely, classy woman--yet I understand that your own close-up view would show imperfections that the rest of us can neither see nor care about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-a-stand-spotty-legs-and-aging-skin#post-1657223 Mon, 09 May 2016 08:31:56 +0000 Ledonna N. 1657223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for being so bold.
