Hello everyone!
There’s just something about dressing up that makes me feel really good. One of my college roommates always commented on how I always got DRESSED for class. She said, “You never see you go to class in sweats.” I actually didn’t really own any sweats outside of my cheerleading practice wear and game day uniforms. My appearance affected how I felt, which affected my academic performance. I remember there was a time when I did go to class in my cheerleading sweats and I just felt like I wanted to put my head down and take a nap. From that day on, I made sure I got DRESSED for class.
I still live by the same rules today. For me, feeling good begins with looking good. Now don’t get me wrong, there are days when I stay in my lounge clothes all day. But when I want to feel pretty, I get DRESSED. Even when I am sick or in a bad mood, my outfit can give me a little boost back the other way.
An evening gown makes me feel elegant, ruffles and lace make me feel ultra feminine, just as a suit makes me feel like a CEO. Can an outfit change your mood or alter how you feel?

Thank you so much, Sheila!
Your confident style says WOW!!! I love how you can own your style with a lot of colors and pizazz. I’m a little wallflower and always feel too shy to wear anything that is noticeable. I need to take notes and claim it!!! I was sent here by The Tiny Heart!!!
I am so happy to have you from The Tiny Heart! I use to be the same way. I wouldn’t dare wear a lot of color, pattern, or texture. Take it slow, and before you know it, you won’t even notice!
Super cute! I agree that dressing us is the way to go, I always feel so much better too.

Isn’t that the truth!
Awesome color combo! Nice watch…and I LOVE your hair!! I thoroughly enjoy getting dressed up and I feel super good every time I get the opportunity to, but that opportunity is rare. Dressing up always makes me feel good, but living in a small town…with nothing to do and nowhere to go…I usually feel like dressing up is a waste of a good outfit!! I have a great work opportunity here, but I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN TAKE IT!! 🙂
You definitely have great style!!
I hear you loud and clear. I save my really good outfits for when I go out and a lot of people will see it, lol!
YES! Getting dressed just makes ME feel awesome, so I love dressing up. Sweats are not an option!
