I agree that people treat you based on how you are dressed. I remember that it was fairly easy to get a seat upgrade at the airport years ago if you were dressed nicely. I don't know if they do that anymore. It's so rare for me to see someone nicely dressed these days, but the ones who do really stand out as having their act together!

I like to wear day clothes and a light bit of makeup even if I'm at home and not going out anywhere. It's the bare minimum of effort sometimes :) but I feel better than if I've left my walking gear on all day.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-80649452712179192912017-01-27T05:05:43.886+13:002017-01-27T05:05:43.886+13:00I can't believe workout gear has become the un...I can't believe workout gear has become the uniform of the stay at home/work from home woman. I pick my kids up at school and they are all dressed like clones. Leggings, neon running shoes, no makeup and hair in a ratty ponytail. Being comfortable can still be stylish. I want my husband to see me dressed nicely and know that I put some effort to get dressed this morning. Workout gear is fine on occasion but not every day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642441551282365162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-12151769369471745202016-08-04T10:48:47.094+12:002016-08-04T10:48:47.094+12:00Well, this was wonderful!

In my "neck of the woods" it's accepted to see people dressed in their "barn" gear, or riding clothes when you run into town, and a great many them are wealthy.<br />If I were judged by what I was wearing, I would often be taken for a stall mucker.lol I try to dress appropriately for the job, or event. You should see what I wear when I fly, and we have our own (Cessna Encore and Pilatus) plane. I wear clothes and shoes to give me the best chance of surviving a crash. I change on the plane when I get to where I'm going.<br /><br />I think these books are fun, and I buy many books on the "Rich" to stock in my library for my friends amusement.<br />My favourite, and I think the most accurate (in my experience) is The Natural History Of The Rich-A Field Guide, by Richard Conniff It's funny; but true. lol.<br />No Sacrifice Bagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768755519910407042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-31832321139006464762010-06-22T12:31:19.654+12:002010-06-22T12:31:19.654+12:00I agree, shabby is acceptable now so it's rare...I agree, shabby is acceptable now so it's rare to see someone nicely turned out.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289348366926684135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-48566797232616274782010-06-22T00:33:05.880+12:002010-06-22T00:33:05.880+12:00So true.

Looking shabby has become the norm, and I'm not sure people realize how they look anymore -- or what it says about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
