“Beauty—or the desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. Someone (I forgot who) once said, ‘Does the person who loves someone for their beauty really love them?’ So don’t focus on beauty . . . a respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul. It is the sum of our experiences that makes us interesting, and having been through a time in your life in which you were in a bad place (or what you perceived as a bad place) physically can be useful. It can even be necessary.” — Karl Lagerfeld (from “Karl Lagerfeld’s 6 Most Audacious Beauty Quotes” by Calin Van Paris, Vogue)
So Karl Lagerfeld says that focusing on presenting a respectable appearance is sufficient. Your true self is what is the most important, of course! And that’s what you want people to see, right?

The November issue of InStyle magazine contains an interview with Drew Barrymore, “The 5 Beauty Products Drew Barrymore Swears By.” But what’s really important about that interview, and what drew me to read it, is the highlighted quote where she said:
“Instead of beating yourself up about what you don’t have, figure out what you do have and make it work.”
I have a simple little thing to tell you today: Make the best of what you have. Age doesn’t matter. No matter what age, size or body type you are, you can always appreciate your good points and take care of them and play them up.
A long time ago, when my children were small, I had a woman come in to clean my house to help me catch up on things. I was apologizing for some old parts of the house that I wasn’t able to replace because of the cost. She reassured me, “Just make the best of what you have.” Then she polished it up and when she was done, the whole place felt so sparkling and new.

Your body can be like that, too, and your wardrobe. Continue Reading
