What fashion and beauty goal did you want when younger that you have achieved?

[Britpopbaby]

To be able to purchase Clinique to get the GWP
Own a Mulberry Roxanne bag

To not feel obliged to wear make up and smart clothes. I have achieved both and I am really glad. I do occasionally scrub up and look ok for my age but not having any pressure to do either is so freeing.

I do own some clothing and handbags that cost me hundreds but it’s because I loved them, not any other reason.

To get a nose job - life changing
To get rid of acne and rosacea
To control my curly hair - get compliments every day now
To feel confident without make-up

Chanel bag, good skin (which only happened recently in my 40s!). I have many more not achieved.

Cashmere instead of cheaper knitwear

Yo feel more comfortable looking natural. I used to wear a lot of makeup but now wear none day to day. I do think it van make me look nicer but I'd rather the default be natural then if I wear it, I look great. If I don't, I just look nice(ish) and normal.

There's a very very pretty young woman I know who always wears enormous eyelashes. One day she wasn't and her eyes almost looked kind of bald?! So if that's what you expect the reality often looks worse. Despite the fact she's stunning and doesn't need it.

Got rid of my teen acne and have great skin at 54.
Wear v little makeup after trying to cover up my acne when younger.

Forming strong cheekbones. Never happened. 😢 I even made a piece of art about it.

Know my own sense of style/ have a strong style identity

Hair in good condition (thanks to keratin treatments)

Have a capsule wardrobe that works for me

Same with make up and skincare products/ routines

Have ‘a good watch’

Am slim

Proper hairdresser done blonde hair.

I wanted to be thin. Now, because of GLP1s, I am. It makes me sad that this has been a struggle for so much of my life. And it also makes me sad that, actually, when I felt I was gigantic as a teenager, to the point where I wouldn't do many things (swimming, most sports, wearing jeans, wearing trousers, it is a long list), I actually wasn't fat at all.
It is a relief to not have to think about it now.
