20 things you’d rather not hear about your appearance

No one should put too much stock in the opinions of others, especially when it comes to their take on your own personal style.  Make yourself feel your best and at ease, and then looking respectful in the eyes of your peers will naturally follow.  But sometimes you hear a comment and a red flag goes up.  Often you’re glad it was said so you can rectify an issue.  Other times it would have been best if they just would’ve kept it to themselves.
