Janet-You look beautiful and you are on step ahead because you recognize why you are feeling this way. Be kind to yourself. The holidays are hard and at least for me a little more emotionally vulnerable. Big hugs today.

I'm joining the chorus - you look killer casual fabulous in this outfit. I see a stylish lady who is confidant and enjoys fashion. That's an incredible goal to have achieved, and you have done so flawlessly. By-bye bad body image.

I know that today will be emotional, Janet. (((HUGS))). We are here for you - and your Pugs too - if you need some TLC. xo

That sweater color is phenomenal on you! And I love your hair this way. Sorry about your dad. It's been 16 years for me, but I still have dreams that he's around and never left.

Janet, today will be hard, I am sorry. I love your hair curly, it frames your face so well. And the burgundy looks very good on you.

Janet,

I'm not very good with words so I'm just going to tell you that you are not alone. The anniversary of my dad's death was on Thanksgiving so that was hard. On top of that, I struggle with body image on a daily basis and especially during the winter months when it gets even harder (hence not many outfit photos on my part). Luckily, these "down" days are rare and once I start exercising again, I'll feel much better. (BTW, I signed up for the Cherry Blossom 10-miler).

If anything, you haven't changed a bit and you look fabulous.

Sorry that you're in a funk, but I think it's wonderful that you understand what it's about (missing your Dad). I also think it's important that at times like these it's important to acknowledge your feelings and feel them rather than trying to get over them

Awww, sorry you were feeling so bad (while looking so pretty, which didn't help, I know). I still have my dad, and am anxious about his fragile health. Hugs to you, and you are so smart to not only figure this all out, but be kind with yourself.

This looks very pulled together and you look super pretty.

Things do sneak up on us and grab hold of our thoughts, don't they?

Oh, Janet--I felt for you so much when read this; my Mom passed away two years ago yesterday, and I've been having a rough time this month. It's especially hard at the holidays-- there are so many expectations and memories...
Your comfort outfit is a great idea, and you look beautiful. Good for you to be able to identify the cause of your funk.

Windchime, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. Sending you hugs and good thoughts.

You look wonderful, Janet, the curly hair is so impish. I hope good memories of your dad help pull you out of your funk.

I'm so sorry that this is a hard time of year for you, and that it's still difficult no matter how many years have passed.

On a much shallower note, the plum looks great on you and you look lovely -- a bit like a glasses-less Tina Fey, actually -- with your hair curly.

You look so beautiful. I am glad to hear that you are getting to a better place with being able to appreciate yourself. It's funny sometimes how being able to understand the source of an emotion can give us much more control over it.
