I am a very fashion conscious person. I like to think I have my own style. I absolutely adore shopping and putting together outfits and accessories and putting on makeup. It's an art form to me. I own upwards of 50 pairs of shoes.
I must admit that I have gone out and bought new clothes specifically to wear to thearpy, lol. Finally after two and a half years, T has begun to tell me, "You look nice." He has said, "I like your shoes," and refers especially to the gold flats or the patent leather pink heels, lol.
I often go to therapy straight from work so on those days I am extra dressed up anyway because of work. On the days that I don't have work I wear what is casual to me-- which might not be considered casual to someone else.
A lot of the effort that I put into looking good when going to therapy probably does have to do with erotic transference issues and having this desire that he will find me attractive, but all in all, I normally put in a good effort in appearance no matter where I'm going. I believe that you have to get dressed everyday, so why not make it fun? I don't even own a pair of sneakers.
