I fully dig the power of wardrobe. 
On the other hand, €, I'd be a nudist, if I wasn't so damn cold all the time. Seriously! |
Seriously. I don't normally say out loud my feelings about clothes, moreso I just walk around looking at what is on the racks and either checking it out or not. I don't normally judge people so when I hear people I am with judge others it trips me out. So it is interesting to hear people openly and honestly share their opinions.
The professional clothes~Ah, I normally dress totally casual. For comfort, practicality and taste. But, the Hubster was attending city council meetings, very important stuff, and I was going with him. It was a lot of fun to shop for 'city council' outfits. Even he would point out an outfit and say 'Next meeting?'
And, some people surely treated me differently when I dressed that way than when I went in my Levi's and 'Made In Ireland' t-shirt{to his job}. But I still felt empowered because it helped me to realize how people were like. Sort of like going undercover. Like hanging around in a room full of other moms who don't realize I do understand Spanish...
Oh, and what you said about changing your wardrobe~mine was due to weightloss. But, the article of clothing I really yearned to wear? Jeans. For me there is not better feeling than pulling on a pair of Levis.
