I wear mascara everywhere but to therapy. It's such a relief to cry and not have my hands and tissues covered in black.
As far as clothing, I wear whatever I'd wear on the weekend hanging out in the city. I don't wear business attire, as that kind of outfit puts me in work mode and the work version of myself is all business and not emotional at all.
My T never comments on my clothing. I do compliment her on her outfits when they are bright or cheerful. She barely even acknowledges my compliments! She's her own person and not all that concerened with appearances, I think.
I saw how she evaluated me on my intake form. It said, "Well groomed." The only other options were disheveled and something else indicating that I couldn't brush my teeth or something. I think that the bar for "well groomed" is probably pretty low.
