Most people who dress to impress are doing it to get something from others. Their approval, their validation, their admiration, their respect, their lust...
You should dress nicely because you like to. You enjoy fashion. Some reason that serves YOU.
Not make up some stupid story about self-respect.
Yes, yes, self respect.
I couldn't care less what others think of me but I certainly wasn't raised in a hog house with pigs.either.
I mow my lawn and keep it neat .
To impress others?....NO
Look, I don't really CARE what random strangers wear out in public as long as I don't have to look at their butt or their underwear or bare boobs, but there's a difference between caring and NOTICING. I notice when people look good, and I notice when people look bad. I don't think I'm all that unusual.
As for myself, I figure that if I notice when other people look bad, some people may notice when I look bad too. It just doesn't take that much effort to brush my hair and put on something I haven't slept in. Oh, and brush my teeth.
You never know who you'll run into for that matter. There ARE people I'd rather not be around looking like I just rolled out of bed. But for that matter, being married and caring that my husband finds me attractive, I brush my hair and my teeth and wash my face and make an effort not to look like a bedheaded bum around him anyway - after I've had two cups of coffee (but I get up before him anyway so he rarely sees the bleary eyed, bedheaded me). And I appreciate when he does the same.
I agree on the "care" and "notice" difference. I couldn't care less what other people wear but sometimes you can't help but notice! lol I'm generally too busy to see much of anything not right under my nose so I don't notice a whole lot either, probably. I see that bed head thing a lot but figure it goes along with the piercings and tattoos. And done that way 'on purpose'.
When I go shopping I look about the same as when I go to work which is pretty darn casual really. I shop where I work and don't want my co-workers putting me up on People of Walmart! lol I've already been on there but not because of ME! Because of my customers though.
You probably use that same excuse not to bathe, comb your hair, or wash your clothes.
Lack of pride definitely !
I bath, comb my hair and wash my clothing regularly.
I have plenty of self respect and pride
What's the difference between wearing pj pants/yoga pants and jeggings to the store? They're both the same material, but one is considered 'trashy' and one is considered fine. I don't see why me wearing black yoga pants and a fleece jacket to walk half a block to the store to pick up some tortillas is such a pearl clutching event.

Mind your own business.
Is that how your parents raised you?
Did they send you to school in PJ's ?
