I usually like to dress up a little. I've found that when I'm depressed, it can lift my mood to look nice. Plus, I find it fun to wear cute boots or a pretty dress, etc. I know that one day I was super depressed and anxious and tried to cancel therapy and seeing my dietitian, so (after convincing) I showed up in a random t-shirt I slept in and running shorts- so I bet that communicated my mood very much. Even when I wear workout clothes, I try to wear something cute. Part of it is trying to look my age a little more- I can be mistaken for a teenager instead of my mid 20s, closer to 30 than 20 age, when I dress too casual and am not made up.
