Very true. The people that I know that dress otherwise tend to be from out of state. The students definitely do not put in a lot of effort.
It's casual Friday at work today so I am wearing jeans. That's not the case on a normal day. If it's a regular business day, I wear slacks or a skirt and a nice top. I wear dresses a lot, because I like to. If I am meeting with a donor or going to an event, it's a suit, pumps and nylons.
My coworkers have commented that I am usually the best dressed and have had friends say I have excellent style. If you saw my closet you'd see that I love to shop. I even gave away A LOT of clothes before I moved.
My off the clock attire is more relaxed. However, now that I am getting older I prefer to not wear pjs or sweats to the store, but used to do that all the time. I will change out of my "work clothes" when going to the bar to casually hang out with friends.
I'm not so good with the hair and make up. I want an easy wash and go hair cut and wear minimal makeup if any at all. I have good skin, so I can get away with it for now.
I would actually love to live in an era with people who put more effort into their appearance.
