Do you ever look at someone and think I really want to give them a make over ? There’s a Mum I see on the school run, probably about 40

[Lardlizard]

Lovely slim body, and I thjnk she could really improve her look as she wears these baggy jeans
Awful trainers and fleeces and her hair is like a bush
I think even if she wanted to dress casually, she would look so so much better with some jeans that fitted well, some nice smart trainers, she’s. It not making the most of herself, somedays she clearly works as she will wear a skirt with heals and a fleece

I wouldn’t want to be so rude or ever say anything but I just think could sill dress just as causally, bit look so much better

Always hated Cousin Helen's advice. The Victorians were obsessed with the sick and disabled being saintly though.

Oh dear,, have you been watching too many crap,so called Makeover things on the telly, are an appointed judge on women's clothes.?

Some people don't have the funds to splash on new clothes, some people don't actually care much about new clothes and facial things.

Don't be such a tiresome busybody, with designs on other people's looks.

I really think you should speak to her and tell her how to dress for you.

I wouldn't be taking makeover advice from someone who can't spell 'Heels'.

You can say things on here you wouldn’t dream of saying in rl

Ah so you're just playing billy big balls online then.

I'd love to see how you dress for the school run. I bet it's boring AF!

@Lardlizard isn't suggesting turning the woman into a River island wannabe clone (far too many of them about already) but come on, jeans that fit correctly and smart trainers are ALWAYS going to look better.

You wrote 'heals' for 'heels'. I stopped right there. No, I never look at someone and think about how much better they'd look if they did things my way. How odd.

What's a smart trainer?
Is that like smart leggings or wellies?

@Lweji smart trainers would be ones that look smart, as opposed to ones that look like they're fit for the bin 🙄

If you are done of these people who go around assessing the quality of other people's outfits, are you under the assumption that everyone is going around looking at you with some theoretical clip board with marks out of ten?

That must be exhausting.

I have smart leggings: they’re the ones that don’t have paint on them or a hole (well, not a home that can’t be hidden under my anorak anyway )

It's a trainer that allows you to use apps to control the white goods in your home, Lweji, and rings your mates, books tickets AND 'ALWAYS' looks better than those ordinary trainers.

yabu to talk about me like that :o
thanks, but I don't need a makeover, if I need to I can be presentable. but not on the school run on days I working from home...

hole, not home. My anorak’s not that big 😬

I’m going to google them now, I bet they exist.

Who are you to decide someone needs a make over, maybe the woman is struggling with depression or dv or any other bad situation and she certainly won't need anyone judging her appearance especially if they're not perfect themselves. Tell you what you post a selfie and we'll judge you

come on, jeans that fit correctly and smart trainers are ALWAYS going to look better.

I’d add clothes that are clean to that list too. Judgmental of me I know, but when I see people I know wearing the same clothes they had on yesterday with yesterday’s mud or food dried on, I am internally wondering why not change into fresh clothes for the new day.

Some of us are more interested in how we furnish our insides.

I rather like how Hannibal Lecter that sounds.

Can this poor unfortunate woman, as described by the OP, spell heels correctly, though?

Live and let live, not everyone can be or wants to be a page three stunner.

@teyem I know people judge, I really don't care, I don't expect anyone to care tbh. This post is about thinking it, not staging an intervention

You wrote 'heals' for 'heels'. I stopped right there.

Snap.

I'll stop fretting now I see River Island wannabe is the High Bar.

we all naturally feel our own taste is impeccable
Oh goodness no. I’m sure my taste is terrible. I don’t even have a “taste” other than “oh, that’s comfortable”

And I couldn’t care what anyone else thinks about that.
