I came across an article on collegefashion.net titled "25 Reasons Why You Should Dress Up Every Day". After reading through the list, I compiled a tweaked list of my own, what I believe are the top ten reasons for dressing up daily. (By dressing up, I mean wearing something that you consider your style, something that makes you feel good, an outfit you put thought into.)
Disclaimer: While I do believe in the importance of looking your best, I also acknowledge that it is not for everyone. Also, I definitely have my days where I don't put as much effort into my look as I think I should.
With that out of the way, here are the top ten reasons to dress up every day.
1. Fashion is a method of self expression. What are you trying to say?
2. You never know who you're going to run into or whose camera you could end up on.
3. That fabulous party outfit in your closet cost too much to only be worn once.
4. If you've got it (amazing legs, great style, killer confidence), it's just wrong to not flaunt it.
5. Life's too short to blend in. Don't settle for average.
6. Fashion is one of the rare instances where art comes alive. What artistic statement do you want to make?
7. Dressing up helps you weed out friends who don't love you for you. If they have a problem with the way you dress, they're not the kinds of friends you want around.
8. It annoys close-minded people. The fact that it annoys them so much is all the more reason to keep doing it. They don't get to control you.
9. It's a test of your confidence. Dressing unconventionally forces you to develop the self-assurance necessary to stand out from everyone else.
10. It's fun and can boost your mood!
