24 May I’m Not Dressed Up…
… I’m just wearing a dress.
Could anything be more annoying than someone asking you, ‘Why are you so dressed up?’
When did it become so odd that someone would not want to resemble a homeless person as they go through life?

I wrote a paper my freshman year of college about how our society’s lax attitude about wardrobe spilled into so many other areas of our lives and I think this idea is still revelant today.
Does that make me superficial because I take pride in my appearance? Because I like to look nice?
For myself?
Is it so wrong to not wait for a special occasion to paint my nails or have my eyebrows threaded?
When did that become ‘fancy’ instead of the usual upkeep?
I hope I don’t sound like I’m venting.
Just wondering out loud.
Don’t you think our society is so much more casual though?
