I'm not doing anything so I think that I will dress up

I think its good to get dressed up once in awhile. Even if its just for your hubby. I always feel good when I look good.

I was raised to be a lady. A lady was always well groomed, well dressed and well heeled. So even today though I wear a lot of jeans, they are never without a crease, fit well (I will NOT wear baggy jeans), and can be dressed up with facy tops and jewelry. Even in jeans I ooze class! LOL Ask Annie, she'll tell you! But summer is here (well sort of - the sun is getting up at 5am) and it's time to break out the summer dresses, bare legs and sandles. WhooHoo! And I don't care that the casual mores of today make people look at me like I'm a freak of nature. I'm a LADY - remember those? LOL

I don't think it sets standards as such honey and in my own , very humble, opinion I think that as long as a person is clean and comfortable then all is well and good! I myself like to dress according to my mood and will sometimes get very smart in nice floaty feminine skirts and tops/dresses with nice frilly undergarments (sometimes just a wisp of light almost invisible fabric!) to make myself feel good and others will feel just as comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans, As long as we feel we are presentable then why shouldn't we dress for comfort - as you know I spend half my life in pyjamas but we are having a birthday tea for my Gran at my sisters today and I am just going to get a bath and dressed in a nice summery dress for the occasion - for me and no one else! xxxx

Hehe... You mean he works as fruit seller? I dont care what kind of job he is doing, everybody has freedom to dress up or not. Hm, anyway, the better you know how to dress properly head to toe for what situation and place, its actually attractive. Wherever i go, i always find a person who dress up for wrong occasion and wrong situation. we just have garden party but the girl wearing such clothes that fit to the night party in the lux building... what? she just makes herself looks gorgeous for wrong reason... yeah, she is attractive for her weird looks. Hmm...

I get dressed up for going out but that's about it. Normally around the house, it's jeans and a tee shirt which I guess some consider dressing up. At work we wear uniforms so that isn't an issue. I don't have any real need to dress smart but I do like to do it when I need to make an impression.

People always tell me that I'm always dressed up. I don't think I'm 'dressed up', I just like to look nice. I dress for me, the way I like, the things I feel good in. My hubby's always in either scrubs or t-shirts and jeans. I never wear t-shirts, not ever. I like being very femme, and I even like ruffles and lace and chiffon, and silk and all those lovely fabrics that feel so good against my skin and that make me feel feminine and pretty. I like heels too and even wear them sometimes when riding my bike. Not too easy to do in platforms, but regular heels are easy. I prefer skirts and dresses to pants, but I do enjoy wearing my jeans, to be sure, such an amurcan girl, ya know. But I like to pair up a really nice top with a pair of faded out jeans and wear heels too - something about that appeals to me. And earrings - always. Mind you, when I'm home in front of the computer, if I'm wearing anything at all, it's often very sloppy, but I've been known to wear lots of pretty nightie-type things too. Again, I like to feel feminine and pretty sometimes, even when doing nothing but watching movies or typing on the conmputer. What can I say? I'm a true girly girl. I say, if it suits you, wear it.

I don't get out much but when I do I like to be presentable. I like to go for the sloppy comfy clothes when I am at home, then I don't have to worry so much about staining my good blouse or other stuff. I don't get dressed up often for the heck of it, when I do dress up and put on my face(makeup) then he wants to know where I am going and thinks it is strange for me to dress up and no where to go. I don't think it should refelct "standards" because when others don't have to dress for work they are usually in casual wear at home most times. For me it is all about my comfort even my dressy clothes I choose for comfort. Who wants to be uncomfortable for hours with clothes? Not I.

that is a great question. I am a casual dresser. I mean when i go to work i wear my slacks and a nice blouse. but when i am home, i have a my pjs. or a tee shirt and jeans. I don't really get all dolled up unless i have some place to go. and being that i don't go out that often i got dresses in the closet with tags on it. LOL

There was a time Pike when I would not go to town unless I was dressed in pleasant attire. Now, heck I run out in a tee shirt and shorts with out thought. When my grand mother was alive, we dressed for dinner, not just on Sundays, that was even more formal, but every day. You did not come to my grand mothers table in jeans and a tee shirt. At least slacks and a blouse was called for. Sunday church clothes for Sunday dinner. There is something to be said for that to. it meant respect and not taking her for granted. The whole family eating around one table... well except for the baby table LMAO

I'm a lady, so suit a ties, not so much. I do like to dress up for no reason other than to me feeling good about myself. Example, I went to visit my mother in Alabama. She says that my Aunts and I "dress up" because we wear dresses and "good, nice" clothes daily. We also put on a little make up sometimes and I wear perfume everyday. Mother said she don't wear "dress up" or wear perfume any more since she retired from work. My reply, "why not, I do everyday." It helps me to feel good about myself. Many years ago I use to only wear my expensive stuff on special occasions. Then I thought, why only then? They are not often enough and what if I had an accident, heaven forbid. But why save these things for special times. Everyday should be special. We don't know how long we are going to be here, so everyday should be special. I started wearing any jewelry pieces I wanted at any time. I wear my expensive perfume everyday. I wear my expensive clothes any day, even at home all day. Once in awhile I think of what my granny said when I was young. Always dress and be at your best. You never know who you will meet and first impressions are the best and most important. Once you make an impression it is always there.

I never go anywhere either but I wish I had some good clothes to dress up in. I have gained a little bit of weight and cannot wear 99 percent of my clothes now. I do have some good clothes that I would really love to wear some day again though. I do not have any dress clothes at all though. Dressing nice reflects how I feel about myself and I have not felt good about myself for about 3 or 4 years now. I hate it too.

i have to wear the horrid uniform for work,which drives me nuts as it is so impractical,but at home i wear my old baggy,daggy clothes.i get dressed up if i go somewhere ,like out to dinner or a work function,but mostly i dress for comfort.cheers sue

I dress up if the situation calls for it. I don't want to be overdressed if it calls for simplicity..and you know what i mean. :-) However, you can be simple yet, not "lousy." Just make sure you wear clean clothes always, yet comfortable.

I didoccasionally dress up for the heck of it, but everyone was always asking me, where are you going.. I got so tired of having to explain the I don't do it anymore..

yes i am also agree with this that when we dont have to go any wehre then just live in ur ordinary dress. and dont need to be well dressed. actually in well dressed we dont feel easy so to remain at ease we should be in normal dress dear.

suit in a market place?? i guess he is ever doing it..i dont think its fit for that place...i dressed up depending on what places i go..

I still feel that there is a such thing as being under and over dressed. I like to be as comfortable as the situation allows. I went through the stockings at church when I was younger and that is just not my thing anymore.

I work for a company that has a business casual dress code with one day of dressing down every week. I can't do business casual. I have to do business. So I own A LOT of skirts, blouses, blazers, dress pants, etc. But dress down day I'm in jeans and T-Shirts. Having to do it for work has made me not care what I look like any other time. I am dressing up tonight to attend a formal event and have to start getting ready now at 1 for something that doesn't start until 6. Normally I don't have this kind of "me" time so I say break out the jeans and let me alone.

I will tell you as I have said before, I go to Manhattan I go dressed up. I am rarely out of the house, issues of working at home, you live at home, you become your house. So for me when I get to go out, dress for success for you never know who you are going to meet. Ainge

I rarely get dressed up anymore just for the heck of it. I do remember being forced into a dress and a hat and little gloves and all,oh and patent leather black mary janes for my feet very sunday without fail. no overalls no sir, no jeans either. a fancy dress anda hat. ugh. then to sit still for whole hour at least and sometimes a little more.oh the fun when I got home and put on blue jeans and a top and climbed trees. whee.now days I wear whats comfortable a tee shirt and loose skirts and my red slippers.
