Dressing Up

#1 Postby Janice » Sat Jun 17, 2006 9:51 am

How many times a year would you say you really dress up?

A nice black suit or tux for the guys and a nice cocktail dress or gown for the ladies.

Me... I dress up when I am on a cruise only. Most functions we attend just take a nice dress, suit or pant outfit, nothing fancy.

Never LOL. The last time I dressed up like that was at least 15 years ago, the last time I was a bridesmaid.

I guess I had better not plan on going on a cruise if you need evening wear!

I trot out my blue suit once a year...other than that, it's T-shirts, jeans and slippers for the streetsoldier (makes it easier to get in and out of bed...which is mostly where I've been lately).

The same for me. Most of the time I look like a bag lady on the street. I can care less what I have on. Its been that way since I was a child. There was always something wrong. Torn petticoat or a rip in a stocking and lots of hems torn and hanging. It takes true love and caring and a special event to force me to put some makeup on.

Same here, I don't follow no crowd, I couldn't care less about make-up, jewelry, all that fancy expensive waste of money. Been like this since I was a kid, as long as I'm comfortable, clean and do my job, couldn't care less what people think.

I never wear jewelry or makeup at home. And most of the time, I just wash my hair and let it dry naturally. I am casual all the way at home. I do wear makeup and look a little better when I run to the store :eek:

Never wore make-up in my life and the hubby and other told me I don't need it so that's a plus (and a huge savings too)Guess I lucked out on that :D

You know what, I buy one bottle of makeup, one eyeliner, one blush and one lipstick once a year. That is all the makeup I ever buy. I buy good makeup, but about 4 items is all I have in my bathroom.
