Do you like clothes and ''dressing up'' sometimes?

Do you find ''the fashion police'' a complete bore?

I like dressing up sometimes.

Yeah, the what-not-to-wear police are a bore. I wanna spice it up sometimes, even if it is not customary.

If I could, I would wear clothing from way back in the day, like long dresses. Or even flash back to the 20s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Hee hee.

I like to dress up from time to time. I don't listen to the fashion police, I wear what I think looks good.

I do! And I make jewelry to go with what I am wearing. But, in my current situation of no car, my health and energy being squirrely, I don't get out much. But, I love looking at clothes and seeing what people are wearing. I go more for one of a kind pieces than mass produced.

I do like clothes and dressing up sometimes. My energy is low and for the most part I love comfy nighties and dressing gowns,

I don't mind wearing fashion clothes if they suit me but I am happy to wear what I like, without a care what the fashion police think.

Clothes can make me feel more confident. If I feel good in them, I feel happier.

I am happy to wear clothes from last year and many years before especially in years where what I see in the shops are not to my taste. Like this year. I am keeping the money in my pocket until I find clothes I love.

I do like dressing up, it makes me feel happy.

I am not massively into latest fashion though and tend to stick to what suits me/shape/colour.

Being born into a cult and living in a cult for 17 years and pretty much wearing the same type of dress your entire life I love the variety of clothing I have now and I don't have very much of it. I recently escaped this past Summer and now thanks to a wonderful Social Worker live in a facility with 9 other young women with various situations going on in their lives. My Social Worker has also been also to provide me with several outfits and nothing fancy but I think they are the most fantastic things in the whole world.

Yes, I like clothes and love to coordinate outfits such as wearing a shirt with owls on it and socks with owls on them--and matching colors, etc. I also love cute clothes and matching jewelry.

I don't follow fashion

even though I get annoyed at comments such as, well you look very plain or, that's not very smart, I just don't enjoy dressing up- most of the time I have no reason to

I'm a creative dresser, which I enjoy. The standard "dress up and heels" is not particularly appealing to me, but it's fun to see others dressed in that way.

I don't know if I like clothes! Because of my illness, I wear grey clothes. I love color, but wearing it agitates me...sensory overload! (It's the same reason everything I use has to be unscented.) But I love seeing someone wearing lovely colors and the scent of a pretty perfume, just not on me! I do have a few black turtlenecks, 2 navy blue t-shirts, 3 white thermal tops, and 1 pair of brown pants, but as a rule it's grey. (And one nice black and cream dress that was given to me by my sister that I wear on special occasions.) And my one pretty exception is my pair of light blue flip flops that I always wear at home. It's my favorite color and they're far enough away from my eyes that they don't bother me!

I have recently started liking clothes. Making outfits, choosing jewelry. I also now carry leather purses in different colors and I liked that. But I still enjoy an occasional day is sweatpants.. variety is the key for me.
