Looking into the mirror this morning, the first thing I noticed was my hair frizzing and stubbornly straying into directions I wasn't fond of. Examining myself further, I discovered some blackheads I couldn't remember having been there the day before and the never fading dark circles under my eyes seemed even more apparent than usual. I looked rough and not very glamourous at all. No need to panic, I thought calmingly, some straightening balm here and cooling pads there and this won't all that bad.
But after having taken care of those little problems, I still felt somewhat uncomfortable and found new flaws to pick at. Getting dressed, the tiny bit of fat around my hips and stomach seemed immense all of the sudden and my butt seemed to be extra prominent while my boobs couldn't jut beyond my potbelly.
My wardrobe didn't seem to bear the right clothes or rather covers to conceal my flawed parts, either, and so I felt even more uncomfortable and frustrated with myself than before.
Ugly days, fat days, uncomfortable days, days when all you want to do is burry yourself under a pile of cushions and blankets and let nobody see you - who doesn't get them every once in a while? Women who are usually very confident and thought their body wasn't all that bad one day get completely discontent with their looks the next day. Even stunning Kate Beckinsale has admitted to feeling so ugly on some days that she won't even leave her house.
But what is it that gets us so down and changes the views on our bodies so drastically? One thing is for sure: it is not actually our bodies that change, but our minds.

What do you do to cheer yourself up on days like these?
And on a fashion related note, what do you wear to feel more comfortable when you're down?

To cheer myself up! Okay - don't laugh, this is beyond corny - I google pictures of puppies! God I'm a freak, but it works.
oh i haaate ugly days !
the worst thing to do is wear your unflattering clothes on your ugly days. you'll look like a monster.
I guess the best thing is just to think that everyone has their ugly days. i would turn the volume to a good song, bundle up in front of a new magasine with a healthy snack.
or google pictures of puppies that cracked me up ! aha
:)
I think almost every girl has those kind of days (even if they don't admit it). When I have those yucky days I usually have a nice bath or shower and paint my nails and do pampering stuff like moisturise and read some nice books :) The only good thing about these days is that they will usually be over in a day or two x
p.s. I love love love your blog
Ugh, I hate those days! But listening to the right song can completely change my mood. And then I rely on a fall-back outfit, one that always looks good (bandage mini and tights, or jeans with a baggy tee and blazer)
fat days.. my worst enemy... ok so what i do is i put on one of my sack dresses (thats what my friends call them) and wear my spanx (yes i won a pair, shame on me). i swear they suck in all you have! but in general i would recommend avoiding mirrors, full stop :)
