Do you ever wish we could dress up more in our society?

besides for prom and weddings? I like being casual but I wish there were more occassions where girls could dress up. It just sucks that in our society its okay for the wealthy to dress up but not for average people. :-/



Who says you can%26#039;t get all dolled up?





Go on a date with your man to the theatre or opera, have him wear a tux and you wear your best dress, go out to a fancy dinner and just live it up.





Life%26#039;s too short to not do what you want to do. Have fun :)





ETA: Again... you can still do it if you want to. You%26#039;re just choosing not to because you don%26#039;t want to be the only one dressed up.





No prob :) Now go get dressed up! :P




HA! YES!





I have themed parties all the time just so we can have an excuse to get dressed up! The perfect dress up party: Oscar Night. We have a movie theatre nearby that screens the awards on the big screen. They roll out the red carpet and all. Some people just come in jeans and some get all decked out. Its a blast! I also went to a friends Oscar party once where we all got glamed out. Soooo much fun. Other theme parties: Guys %26amp; Dolls, Black %26amp; White Night, my friends and I even had %26quot;Winter Formal%26quot; once. I have themed parties every year for my birthday, some people get more into it than others, but its always fun. Down in New Orleans we also have Mardi Gras balls that people get all dressed up for too, but if you want to do it, make it happen.





Hell, sometimes I prance around the house in my prom dress just because I can!




I %26quot;dress up%26quot; frequently. who says you can%26#039;t. Even on days I have off of work I tend to dress in dresses, trousers, or skirts. There%26#039;s nothing that says you have to wear t-shirts and jeans all the time. I you want to be more stylish and done up, go for it.





* go to nice dinner. i wear cocktail dresses, diamonds, and heels to dinner all the time. It%26#039;s tons of fun!




I really wish we had more reasons to get fully dressed up. At the moment my friends and I are planning a girls night to the casino, and we%26#039;re also trying to find a masqeurade (?) ball so we can get dressed up for that. I just love all the old style dresses with the corset tops and large skirts.




While I tend to dress casual more often than not for comfort%26#039;s sake, I agree that it would be nice to have more opportunities to dress up. You could always create your own reasons. You don%26#039;t have to wait for someone else to come up with an occasion if it%26#039;s something you want to do.




I agree one hundred and ten percent! I love love love dressing up!!! YAY! :)




Heck yeah. I%26#039;m really stumped on when I%26#039;m going to ever wear my wedding dress again. I already feel guilty.




i agree it would be cool if girls wore dresses more often and that guys dressed nice too




Yes, I do feel that way. I love dressing up and putting on a dress or skirt, it makes me feel so elegant. In fact, in the summer time, I fill my closet with summer dresses and skirts. It%26#039;s way better than shorts and such.





I do like being casual, I%26#039;ll admit I don%26#039;t have to dress up for work and I love it. I work with kids and spend most of my time sitting on the floor, in kiddie sized chairs and bending down to tie shoes; so I can%26#039;t dress up all the time. I wear jeans about 99% of the time. I wish there were styles that were a bit more friendly for my profession and lifestyle.





But, I%26#039;d love to have more opportunities to get dressed up and go out. I really admire the styles from the 40%26#039;s and 50%26#039;s and women wearing dresses out while running errands, going to even casual dinners or an evening at someone%26#039;s home. I think it was fabulous how women had a dress and perfectly coordinated shoes, scarfs, sunglasses and accessories.





Don%26#039;t get me wrong, I love the styles and fashions of today. But, we don%26#039;t pay as much attention to detail today, as back then. Plus, clothing and accessories are so expensive now, you can%26#039;t have a pair of shoes/scarf and sunglasses to match every single outfit you own. I%26#039;d go broke, if I did that. Instead, I have basics and essentials that go with just about everything in my closet.
