Question

What does it saying mean when a woman "lets go of herself" in terms of her appearance... (serious answers only?

Answer 1

It means she doesn't care anymore what she looks like.  That she doesn't fix her hair or care what she wears, etc.  For some women they let a lot of other things go too.  It's not always a pretty picture.

Answer 2

it means she doesn't dress and care for herself like she used to.  she doesn't do her hair anymore, and walks around all day in sweats.

Answer 3

It means when they're comfortable in a relationship, they might gain weight, stop pampering themselves, stop dressing up and stop trying to be s**y for their significant other. They might wear sweatpants and a face mask to bed instead of lingerie, stuff like that. It's not a good thing to just stop caring.

Answer 4

I think you mean lets herself go.  That means the person no-longer cares about their appearance, gains weight, stops wearing make up, stops brushing or grooming their hair.  I know of women who let themselves go after getting married.  I guess before the wedding she needed to look her best to attract the opposite s*x.  After the wedding she feels she's got a man so she doesn't have to work so hard at her appearance and begins to "let herself go".
