I usually dress very casual but I always feel the need to get my make up on whenever I leave my flat. It´s not that I want to impress anyone (I dont give a damn about that), it is basically about making myself feel better. I guess I got used to that since I was a teenie with acne problems and still have this horrible skin...
![]() Also I am of the opinion that we all should be really selfish about these matters and do it all just for ourselves´sake! ![]() ![]()

I am not one of those types of people that needs to be meticulously groomed and pressed 24-7 but I do like to look decent whenever I go out in public. It's an extension of 'treating others the way you would want to be treated', except for it applies to clothes. I don't think you should fully dress for other people, really it should be for yourself, however my philosophy is that no matter what you are wearing you shouldn't look like you rolled out of bed.
I think in certain situations you ought to think about others when picking out what to wear. In high school and in college I have noticed that so many people come to class wearing pj's, dirty clothes, or sweats. I've always had the frame of mind it's disrespectful those those teaching you to wear any of those items. And so, even though many of my friends have laughed at me and thought I was being silly because I refuse to wear sweatpants to class, I always wear a nice outfit (it doesn't have to be anything fancy either... jeans and nice shirt are staple items). I want my professor to know I respect them even if it's shown through something as simple as wearing a clean shirt. Whereas the rest of the time, what you wear should be all about you! And Fashionista-ta, I totally agree about grooming and taking a shower. I know when I had my foot surgery I wasn't able to shower for a few days and I felt incredibly dirty and sick. But as soon as I took a shower I felt a bit better. I think being able to scrub myself clean really helped the healing process. It's a simple act of grooming yet it really can make a difference in how you look and feel (inside and out). Part of the problem I have with this article is that many of these women quoted take the idea of "dressing to impress" to the extreme, not only because they expect that they will always look good but that others will too. Not everyone in life has the means to look polished all the time (nor would it be practical for them to do so in certain careers/lifestyles). But they shouldn't be looked down upon simply because they aren't dressed to the nines. And I get the feeling that some of these women care a bit too much about what other's think. It sounded all so cliquey worrying that other's will see you wearing your sweatpants going to and from the gym (like really???). I just think that if someone's going to judge you because you wore your sweatpants out of the gym then you really shouldn't be hanging out with them. All I really care about is that a person looks decent enough for the situation they are in, and that more importantly, that they are a good person rather then just someone who wears good clothing.

That was very beautifully put Fashionista-ta.
![]() I knew this older women who was an artist, she lived on a rundown farm and didn't have a lot of money, but she had some of the most amazing sense of style I've ever seen. Whenever I'd go to visit I always looked forward to seeing what she'd be wearing. She was an artist, so maybe this was part of it, but still, when she showed me her closet filled with gorgeous shoes and hats that she'd collected overtime I could tell that she treated each item with care. And I think that this is part of the issue with how people dress nowadays, they see clothing as disposable thus they don't care if it's wrinkled or stained because they can always get something new. They don't have a sense of respect for the garments they own. And I think it can translate into how people dress.
