- Dressing up everyday puts you in a different state of mind that is more motivating and positive. Dressing up also makes you want to get out of the house and be more active in your daily life activities. Take on the challenge and dress up for 30 days. Do it for yourself because it's going to make a difference.

Dressing well says that you respect those around you as well as respecting yourself.
great way of saying it!
+von voncarstein actually...attending funerals, dressing up for weddings, making the effort when you go to visit your grandparents, dressing up for a date, brushing your hair for work, looking nice when you have friends over...you are definitely being disrespectful if you show up in jeans and a torn t-shirt with three days of sweat smell...or else you just don't care. litlsecret's point clearly went right over your head but oh well, stay classy you !!
+von voncarstein I think it really depends on what you think "dressing up means", for me it just means looking sharp, like being clean (bath/hair removal/nail clipping), taking care of your skin (cleaning your face, adding face/eye/hand cream), and dressing well (clean ironed clothes that look good on you, even a pair of jeans with a nice shirt and nice shoes is fine).. I only put make up on for those special occasions..
+von voncarstein A narcissist would assume whatever they choose to wear should be admired by everyone else, as you do...which would make you the narcissist. Glad to see you took my advice to stay classy.
+von voncarstein There you go...a valid opinion stated without the drama. Personally, I slob out at home all the time, and the odd run to the supermarket...but I agree with Mimi that I have missed opportunities to socialise because I wasn't washed and ready to go earlier in the day and it's too much effort to do the whole routine just to have a coffee or go to the movies with someone at short notice. So now I shower/clean up first thing in the morning and can either slob out or go out spontaneously without having to think too much about it.
My friends always ask me why I dress business casual everyday and look like I'm going to an important meeting. I always dress my best. It helps you feel mentally better too.
I have decided that from now I will pay attention to what I am wearing
I dress smart casual every day & I agree. Ppl always question why I dress well. Meanwhile, I question why they don’t 🤔
I think this is very good advice, anyone who calls this shallow, let me tell you what shallow is.
Shallow are the people who ask you 'Why are you dressing up?", people who call you pretentious for putting minimal effort into wearing a bra, panties and a dress, just because you are not in sweatpants or rags. Especially because you don't look like them. They are the shallow ones because they are the ones judging you for your appearance, for what you are dressing, just for wearing the clothes you like.
There's nothing wrong in me wearing the clothes I love, if I don't wear them, what do I have them for? For special occasions that never come? One day you'll realize you are too old for these outfits you've always wanted to wear but never found the right time to. You know what's a special occasion? A special occasion is the day you realize you are not dead, the day you realize you still have two legs.
You can wear a gown to the grocery store if you want to (I am not including places where there's a dress code to be followed like workplaces). And of course I'll stare at you and judge you, or maybe you'll make my day a little brighter because I just saw something beautiful. Whatever it is, whatever my problem it is with you wearing a gown, it doesn't matter, because nobody cares what I think!
That is the problem with shallow people, that they think everybody cares about what they think, that people are gonna change to conform to them just because they care. They have to realize nobody cares that they care. I'll dress in my best princess outfit if I want to.
It was thank to an article in rookiemag or something like that that I've realized that if you want to dress up everyday, it's fine.
Gil CJ YES! couldn't have said it better.
thank you so much. I needed this
awesome words
I needed to hear this. thank you!
Gil CJ well said thank you
I agree completely! I know when I sit home studying in a messy room, with empty plates all around me, wearing sweatpants, dirty hair I get more prone to being lazy and eating junk food than being alert and up going to learn things. I'm gonna go right now, have a shower, get my makeup done and wear jeans instead.. and clean these dishes up! THANK YOU for starting my day! Much love xoxo
Fuck i do that. I thought i was the only one😓 i do end up eating junk food when im in a rut. Its like negative things cause more negative things to happen
its hard
i'm like this and have two little kids
i do dress up at night for my husband wearing sexy night wear but not during the day
i need to do this too! great post/commen
I agree!! I so needed this! I literally never dress up and I feel like I'm wasting my youth! What you said definitely makes a lot of sense. xx
I started to dress up initially to impress a boy in my year that I liked, with the hopes that he would notice me. I got rid of my glasses, wore contacts and started playing with make up too. But slowly over time it started to make such a huge difference in my confidence levels. Because it's YOU deciding in the morning that YOU'RE worth looking after. Choosing to wear a pretty dress with heels took the same amount of time it would have to grab a standard T-shirt with jeans. ( With make up a grand total of 25 mins =P ) . I've struggled with my self esteem, and never used to think that I was one of those girls who was pretty or the type that would make guys do a double take . But because I felt better it changed the way I saw things. Mimi mentions in her other video, but I also noticed that people were friendlier and smiled more when I dressed up. If you want to be a success you must first dress the part. You don't need expensive designer clothing - nearly all of my clothes are sale items from a British supermarket, but you need to pick key items that you like and work from there. I do have dress down days where it's just leggings and a basic T-shirt, but they make dressing up more fun. It is worth spending a bit more on quality items over quantity- if they're going to be worn everyday like coats and shoes. I dress up for myself now, but once you start one positive habit it spills into other areas of your life. Definitely worth trying for 7 days at first!
When you look nice you feel nice!
ah i wish that was the case with me. i always feel insecure when i wear dresses, even if i really want to wear one 😔
Dressing up everyday, even if I'm not going anywhere special or if I'm staying home, really makes me feel good, special, happier! Watching this video made me confirm it :)
I stay at home most days of the week and I'm always in my pjs with no makeup and a messy bun. I always feel awful about it but I also find it silly to dress up and do my makeup when the only thing I am doing for the day is sitting around watching Netflix. but you are right because it has an impact on my mood so I'm going to take this challenge!
exact same!! from tom idc if im at home, i will look good!!
+queeneva3 I am the same way. I am a stay at home mom and I have social anxiety so being around people is hard under normal times. My mom lives next door to us so when people visit her I will freak out afraid that they will want to come and see me. I will even lock the door and pretend not to be home just so people wont see me in my jammies. From tomorrow forward I am going to try and be ready for what every comes to my door.
+Rachel Clark looking back to this comment almost a year later I realized how much I've changed. now I am super busy with work and college I am out of the house for the most part of the day and I always try to look my best. it takes a lot of time and its tiring to always maintain nice hair makeup and clothes but it also makes me feel so good. I can't function without looking good I feel sick, less confortable and confident and more stressed. I can actually confirm that Mimi's advice is 100% truth and everyone should follow it. it also helped me overcome my social anxiety and panic attacks, so please don't give up ☺
Im so glad it helped with your anxiety! I am going to try it hopefully it will help me to
+Rachel Clark I hope it does!! I would like to hear how you're doing and if it works :)
This is true. The first thing any person see's is how you present yourself; the way you expose your personality through your style and how you walk etc. When I have lazy days and decide to go out in 'lazy clothes' I end up not feeling so great about myself, I even avoid my reflection! So I decide to just wear comfy clothes that are still chic and classy, so I feel good either way without effort or discomfort c:
I totally agree. If I don't get dressed in the morning, I tend to just sit around for the whole day and do nothing. If I put on an outfit I like, I will find an excuse to go outside, even if it's just for a walk around the neighborhood. :) I'm not sure it's that much about confidence for me, but knowing I look awesome is just a great push to do something with my day.
I just started doing this last week and I feel GREAT. I stayed in my jammies until ~2pm sunday, not wanting to do anything but just like you said, after I changed into my day clothes, not even putting on makeup, and got my ass into town, I did not want to go home! It was really good feeling dressed up!
Hi Mimi... I watch this video every other month, at it really lifts me up and reminds me how important it is to consider everyday as special and make the most of it!
Yes, it is important to work from the inside out, but why not do both? Mimi is a great example of that - beautiful on the inside and out. Looking your best really does give you a tremendous amount of confidence and not to mention, get you noticed. People love to say, "It doesn't matter what others think of me." Yes it does, hunnie! Regardless of which field you work in (provided you don't have to wear a uniform) the way you are put together and how you carry yourself really makes a difference. First impressions are key also. You can only make a first impression once so why not look your best?! When we exude confidence and positivity in everyday life, the possibilities are endless!
The only problem I have with this is when you say things like 'dress to impress' to impress other people? there is also a reason your ex is an ex so I wouldn't care what my ex thought about me. I dress for me, I wear what I want when I want and I often get compliments and comments like 'you always look nice' or 'I wish I had the confidence to wear that!' dress for yourself, not for others.
You can dress to impress yourself (: I know I do. "look at that sexy biotch"
people she dont say you have to put lots of makeup on or something, she's saying you have to dress up so you feel confident.. i totally agree.
"Every single day is that special occasion!" ❤️ Yes, thank you! 🤗
I dress to impress everyday and I'm always ready for anything! This video has really put my moto up for the world to see and I'm glad someone thinks its a great thing too :) besides whats the point of buying clothes you love if you can't wear it any time you want :D
I'm glad I watched this video. It's a lesson that I really needed to learn I used to think that the most important thing in life was to save money but what's the point in saving money if you don't use it to make yourself feel better? I barely have decent clothes and rarely special occasions so I was kind of feeling bad for myself or not feeling pretty but after this video I'm gonna look the best I can every si for day. Thank you Mimi
Haha my first quarter of college in a nutshell.
I used to get complimented every day on my cool fashion in high school.
Now someone was like "Oh yeah, sweats and flip flops are like your thing right?"
NOOOO THAT IS NOT MY THING! I HAVE GREAT STYLE!
THINGS MUST CHANGE!
Haha all my favorite outfits are still hanging in my closet untouched because I started living in tshirts.
I feel you 😂
Yes, Yes Yes! When I took off a large amount of weight, I also started looking forward to getting up every day and dressing my best. I love putting ensembles together with complimentary accessories and makeup. It's just the perfect start to a fabulous day. It really makes a tremendous difference how you feel and how you relate to others. You're happier, more interested and excited to talk to and socialize with other people. So glad to hear from all of you who are experiencing this wonderful secret to happiness ;)
Hi Mimi, this is such GREAT advice! I agree completely!! And I try to follow that advice everyday. "No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up and never give up"!
I love that quote :)
I absolutely agrre with you. Last year I used to go to the uni in the morning and then to work and even though it was kind of tiring and stressful I was really confident and I would look my best everyday. I never wanted to stay in the house, I was always out and about meeting friends! But this year I finished with my studies and I only go to work and I realised that I got really lazy with my appearance and that really had an impact on my confidence! Your video was such an inspiration, I'm def going to try your tips!!
Those who disagree with her, I agree you have to work on your confidence from within. But if you look good everyday, it highly raises your confidence. I know when I dress nice I feel empowered and influential. She's not saying you shouldn't feel confident when you don't dress up; she's saying dressing up will boost your confidence.
You don't have an idea of how you changed my life!! I would never thank you enought for making this video....thank you so so much ❤️
What happened? How did your life change?
thank you so much, really needed something like this. will definitely be trying it
So today I was talking to my boyfriend about needing a change in my life. I feel so depressed and down b/c I have been successful in life but I don't feel it. I work in an office and today I saw a coworker of mine dressed really cute it remind me of how I used to dress when I first got the job.... But now I dress so horribly it's sneakers and t-shirts all the time and no make up and my hair is always in a bun! :( And I'm only 25 years old! As a kid I used to dress up all the time changing clothes two to three times a day I'm not sure what happen. But after watching this video I will put a major effort to dress up everyday just me and no one else! Thank you for the inspiration!
Hiya I always dress my best I feel confident, and I love myself enough to dress my best all the time. Some of my friends say they like to dress good to go out, but what if you never go anywhere nice to wear all your best clothes they never get worn. I work in a school in the office also I look after the children at lunchtime I also clean there too. I did try changing into my old clothes to do the cleaning but I found this a pain so now I clean with my best clothes on if they get dirty I change them, I feel that I can do all my jobs a lot better when I feel good about myself. But this is just how I feel and I do have a lot of confidence to dress this way all the time but I do have a strong passion for everthing to do with fashion to me it's my way of life and all my friends expect it of me lol. Of course everyone is different as I say "each to their own" but this is just how I feel personally. Thanx for sharing x
true but also gotta mention that geniuses tend to wear the same type of clothes everyday so that they can put aside decision making resources of the brain for more important tasks.
ateK Yup, but those clothes don't have to be necessarily sweatpants. I think you are *implying* that the idea of dressing well and being a genius are mutually exclusive. Your uniform can be comprised by dress shirts and suits everyday. You are dressing well and wearing the same stuff everyday. Just because you are wearing a uniform doesn't mean your uniform can't consist of your best clothes: ever heard of capsule wardrobes?
Gil CJ
well said
those are men, we are women
This video made me smile hardcore. I was playing around in my clothes today, and I came up with some amazing outfits and I actually thought to myself, "I can't wear this, it's too nice. I need to save it for a special occasion." But this inspired me. I'm going to wear whatever I want because the results will definitely be worth it. Time to stop saving outfits!
I have been watching and re watching this video. Life changes, depression and just complacency had me down and dressing very frumpy. I bought a whole new capsule wardrobe, including shoes and underwear and I'm on my third day of dressing my best. Today a lady I don't even know said to me walking into church " your look so fresh and pretty". It made my day and now I want to go out and be seen. See people. Live life more!! Thank you thank you!
I work from home a lot and far too often used just throw on tracky bottoms, a jumper and no make-up, I'd feel so rubbish and sluggish, wouldn't even want to answer the door to the postman! Recently started putting on nice clothes and doing makeup every morning, even when just working at home...feel so much better, happier and energized, ready to seize the day and find so many more excuse to get out the house!
Thank you.. I subscribed to you because i think what u said made a lot of sense... I should dress up well everyday because we never know when would our last be.. And I also get my self confidence from dressing up and putting make up.. wherever you get ur self confidence from thats where you should start, and keep doing that , u will notice a lot of change in your mood and life.. thanks again :)

thank u to evelina for bringing me here! a very enlightening video!
This is COMPLETELY TRUUUUE!!! I use to go to online school in my sophomore year of high school and I would never dress up because I didn't have to impress anyone. At first I thought it was cool because I could sleep in and be lazy, but after a while I got so depressed because I felt ugly and every single day I wanted to go out so that I could finally wear cute outfits and do my hair and makeup. I decided to back to public school and I've never regretted it, I love waking up early to get ready for school, I feel so confident! :) and I've also met such great people
couldn't agree more. When I have a exam to take I like to put cute sweats on and do my hair in a cute messy bun and do a no make up makeup look. This look gives me more energy to think and more confidence that I will do great on my exam.
I know this is an old video but I just came across it and it was just the motivation I needed. I've kind of been in a slump because I got really lazy about how I look and it has really affected my mood. I want to look my best again and it really helped to hear what you had to say. Thank you so much!!
Lady Luna I've practically given up on myself. I've gained so much weight, my hair is unkept, even my husband complains. I'm going to try to do better.
That was the best advice ever , I always try to dress to impress but always think about what other think but now I'm literally like 'I'm wearing my heels and leather jacket and my mini skirts everyday ! '
I've been suck in my house for nearly a year since my car accident, with spinal fracture and my increasing weight i haven't had the confidence to go out. I rarely do. Im going to try this challenge because I used to take pride in how I look and be out and about everyday. Thank you x
this is so so true. when i started doing high school classes online to graduate early, i didnt have to wake up and get ready for school anymore. the first month or so was amazing of course because it was like having vacation or something. but then after that i started to realize i was changing. i didnt want to put on any makeup anymore and i started loosing interest in getting dressed and finding new outfits to put together. i was getting into a slump. after a couple of months of being in a slump, i realized what was happening to me. so everyday after that, i made it a priority to make it like i was getting ready for school, and it TOTALLY changed me! i started going out more and i even gained soooo much confidence in myself. so guys, it really works!!
I love your motivation, energy and enthusiasm! This video totally picked me up and I needed it so much, THANK YOU ❤️
I feel the same way you do.
this is way easier then keeping up a workout schedule for the new year hahaha x)
you prolly dont care but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the password. I would love any tips you can give me
Omg you are so right, I was doing that. When I didn't have plans I will just be in sweats all day and my hair in a bun and I didn't want to go out or even be outside in my garden. But since the Holidays I haven't stop dressing up like it's a special occassion. Because just being alive is for me a special occasion. And when I take the extra time on my make up it boosts my confidence. Thanks a lot for the message
This is a realization that I often have. I'm like "starting tomorrow I'm going to get ready as if I were meeting my first date" but then I get in a crappy mood or lazy or just not feeling myself. Thank you for the reminder and inspiration !
I have this EXACT same thought almost DAILY.
Hi from Mexico! this video has helped me a lot, I'm also working at home now and I was doing just the same as you did, but now I'm feeling great, going around the house I was avoiding every single mirror cause looking at me was making me feel so down and depressed, now I stop at the mirror, smile and say to myself "hey girl you look sexy!" Maybe its crazy but dressing my best made me happier, Thank you!
I know that this is an older video but I really needed to hear it. I work part-time at a daycare in my gym and the rest at home but I've been feeling blah lately. I'm a make-up hoarder and I have more clothes then I'll ever wear or need. I've been getting the itch to get back organized, weed out clutter and start taking more pride in my appearance. I also use to work in an office about 1 1/2 ago. I DO feel better when I feel I look better and besides, I should dress up for me, I'm worth it!! Thanks for the inspiration. XOXO from Memphis, Tn. : )
i agree with you !! i think the first thing people see is how you present yourself not you inner values, although i am a firm believer that having confidence is what makes a strong women, i also think the way a women dress can say a lot about her. Thank you mimi keep up with these lovely videos !!!
I strongly believe that... spically if u add a smile to it
when u look your best ppl will be happier around u, starts acting nicer with u
I actually see it in u and just watching u make me feel better
It's not about new clothes everyday, it's about making the best of what you already have:) Start somewhere and things will get better:)
❤️❤️❤️ watching your videos. You're always so sweet and positive. It's funny when you dress up people always ask why or who you're dressing up for. Uhm my damn self!!! ☺️
This is eight years old gem. So much needed video during this pandemic where most of us are living in pyjamas!
love this video, and true on what you say dress up every day. I have started up doing that again. Just because i volunteer doesnt mean i have to be in jeans and shirt all the time. I started do that again and i felt better liked doing volunteer work gave me more confidence.
Hmm... This is the best thing you've done for yourself? What if the best thing I've done for myself is get my gym clothes on, no makeup and go for an extra mile on my run? Nothing wrong with getting dressed up, but looking and feeling beautiful comes in many forms and is different for many people. I don't think it's shallow to want to dress well and look put together.... But I think putting on makeup and wearing my best clothes wouldn't necessarily result in me putting my best self forward.
+Miss KayCee Yeah. I can't agree you more. actually, I think put a lot of chemical make up on face is a burden of skin. it's better to let your skin breath.
Hi Mimi! I just accidentally see this video and everything you said is correct. That is also my outlook in dressing up. I feel more confident when I see myself in the mirror in nice dress and I don't care if that dress is for special occasion. As you've said everyday is special. :) Take care!
I completely agree with this and it's the greatest advice. I'm now a stay at home and have been for 2 years and no family near me so staying home was all that I did. With young children it was hard to get out but I totally agree that when I did dress up I was kinda forcing myself, in a good way, to get out, and every time I went out I felt good about myself. I felt like I did something for me! It doesn't mean staying home is bad but it is once your body and mood and feelings change. Balance!
I'm really glad you posted that video as just that day I walked out of the house not looking my best. As a result, I didn't want to be seen and realized after, that I was avoiding eye contact. I spotted a guy I knew and literally went in a different direction. Watching the video made me realize the connection and since, I've tried to leave the house proud of the way I look, therefore feeling good about myself and wanting to be seen vs avoiding eye contact. Thanks!
i am IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!!
True words. Love this video. No one thinks or puts it this way... Thank you Mimmi for putting this smart view into my head. xoxo

Ach, I love this. I was working full time in a busy office and dressed up every day, but now am a missionary, volunteering at a school in Vienna. I get to choose my hours so I'm not out all of the time; I'm also a mom of a 4yo so I'm home with him a lot. I noticed my self-esteem had drastically decreased since not having somewhere I had to be all of the time, and I LOVE what you have to say here. If you look crappy you feel crappy. :)
It's great that dressing up works for many people. But it may not be true for all... I guess the take-home msg of this video for me is to do something different from routine and break the rut, even if you don't have to. Be it cook something totally new for you, or go paint/ doodle/ create something. Something that you can do by yourself and makes you feel good.
I LOVE this, I dress up everyday because I feel happy doing it. I love all of this girly things.
I watch this video from time to time for motivation x
Excellent advice..I just said the same thing to a friend..it is a way to respect yourself and those you meet everyday...put out good energy and good energy will come your way...it starts with you...cheers Mimi.
amazing mimi you have changed my whole point of seeing myself :)
i dress up for the weekends when im with my husband or if im going somewhere important other than that no.. no point in my opinion
I totally agree. Whenever I take the effort to look nice I feel way better during the day, and I get more done.
You're right...dressing up makes you feel better. I try not to stay in PJ's if I'm going to be home, just so that I can feel motivated to get out. Dressing up definitely gives you a boost of confidence!
Thank you so much! This video helped a lot :)
Such a great point! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You just made me realize what brought down my confidence...my lack of dressing up and looking my best all the time the way I used to. I know what caused it, and I'm changing this mindset starting tomorrow. :) HUGE thank you! All the best, A u r o r a
This is so true. Looking nice everyday boosts your confidence and self esteem a little. looking good makes you feel good. Days that I look like crap, makes me feel like crap. I don't want to talk to people and will be embarrassed if I were to be seen by the wrong person. That's why I always try to look my best
Maybe many people don't understand what you mean by 'dressing up'. We're not talking about formal dresses, diamonds and evening bags. We're talking about looking your best. Such as wearing boots instead of running shoes. Wearing pants instead baggy old sweatpants. Or doing your hair and makeup instead of a ponytail and no makeup. I don't mean curling your hair for an hour and putting on loads of makeup (although you can do that if you want).
One thing I noticed about my grandmother, she always wore some lipstick and powder and got dressed up more than 'just casual' when going out of the house. I learned from her and always try to look at least presentable, even going to the store. My daughter went to a school where the kids used to make fun of her, 'Why are you so dressed up?' They'd ask, but this was just the way she dressed. Gladly, she refused to listen to them and conform to their way of dressing just to have friends. Most of these kids were dressed in stuff most people wear to laze around the house. I moved her to a different school shortly after that, for other reasons, but ones that were related to that poverty mindset.
this is soo true! such a motivating video
this is very true.
I was recently watching your video with Alex about your likes and dislikes of each other. And he mentioned that he likes that you take the time and look good every day even if you are home that day. I gave it a thought and decided I should try it. I am a stay at home mom. I have been definitely feeling better because I look better. I get many compliments, and even recently from my husband :) he says I am most attractive now than before!!! So thank you! Appreciate this video.
Yep I dress to impress every day and I have found t ups my confidence and mood. I also find when I don't dress up people come to my door and I look like a slob or people want to see me and I am not ready like you said. Great reasons! Great video! I wish more people would out effort into their outer shell too.
This is so true, I am starting tomorrow :)
I think I will take up the challenge to do this every day for a month! :)
This was so refreshing to watch - it is on my playlist anyway but I reach to it when I need it - I did need it as I lost my job 2 weeks ago and then I got diagnosed with osteoporosis- loved this thank you x
You're so right! Ive starting working home too just recently, and I've gotten soooooo lazy. And I am not a lazy person at all. But being at home more, not seeing people, etc, makes you not care. But you're right..you have to be the one to change that. Do it for yourself and everything else will follow :) Thanks Mimi
i dress my best every day because i love my self hahaha
Wow I will watch this video everyday!
This video is life-changing ! I used to dress up every single day and now I feel I'm stuck with all the work I have to do and therefore I don't dress my best !! Definitely goin to follow your tips ! Thank you very much !!!
This year for the first time I really started doing this, making sure I looked my best and wearing makeup every day & it's paid off, I realized when people say "you always look good"/
"you have great style", "you always look nice"
Please do a morning routine.(=
Evelina sent me here
I remember a year or so ago, I watched this video. At the time I was very self conscious of myself. And more and more I always tried to dress my best. I didn't think much about this video at the time, but now looking back to it, it has affected me immensely. I'm definitely way more confident now, and this video definitely contributes to it. I would like to thank you for sharing this with us, it has made a difference x
So true Mini, When I had my daughter my mother always told me "you better not be one of those people that forget to get dressed in the morning" Just because I was home with my baby didn't mean I couldn't look good. Now 7 yrs later my mother is no longer with me, this yr I was laid off for the 1st time in 20 yrs and I was at home more often. I had MANY days at home with no makeup or boring clothing and I started to feel depressed and not happy , i would not go out and if I did run into someone I looked like a mess and felt embarassed. So I started to watch youtube videos and alot where on makeup, I am not an expert on applying it but I enjoy it. I am one of those faces that need it to enhance what I have :) lol, I need it bottom line. Sooo I decided to do my makeup in the morning and I may still where cute sweats but I still felt good. My mom was right, if makes you feel put together and better about yourself. Its not about what others think about you , its how you feel about yourself. You explain it very well. Thank you for the video!
"oh shit"
Thumbs Up if Evelina brought you here!
WOW!!! Thanks, I'm retired and I remember when I first retired(early) I still got dressed up withingn reason. I even wore a little
makeup and you're right. I did more things. So now I am going to start back wearing my casual dressy things again thats just
sitting in my closet,(even though I have donated tons of clothing). Thank you for this "kick in the butt')!!LOL!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I was about to go out for the day to run errands. I listened to your video as I was eating breakfast and thought, she is so right. Now I am about to dress up and feel good about myself and yes more confident. Plus I am a better witness for my Lord. It feels good to dress up!!! Thanks so much...just the advice I needed.😊👍❤️🎵
Honestly, I believe I don't need to dress up everyday. I feel uncomfortable when I do. God made me beautiful the way I am so why should I strive to impress others and get their opinions when what God says is the only thing that matters? Girls, God made u beautiful just the way u r. :)
Also, I believe if you don't feel comfortable dressed up then it might be a sign that your clothes are not OK. Being dressed up should not mean feeling uncomfy. On the other hand, I agree with sunshine jo :) Do as it feels the best for you :)
well i am a tomboy so ya i dont like dressing up in dresses and stuff. im saying that God made everyone beautiful the way they are and its the truth from the bottom of my heart.
Shannon Farmer you don't have to dress girly to dress up, you can wear nice clothes no matter what your style is :)
ik
true. well said. its just i feel uncomfortable wearing clothes like dresses cuz its not me. im not girly. and im not trying to impress anyone. honestly God takes me as i am no matter what i wear so clothes shouldnt matter but they should be modest, which they are. i have my style and it fits me. im a tomboy. all that matters is what God says about me not others opinions. if u worry too much about others opinions then thats a bad thing. more is to say but thats the gist of what i have to say in replu.
Confidence should NOT be enhanced with clothes and make-up. A positive attitude has nothing to do with dressing up. Crazy shallow advice.
It's not about dressing up for shallowness. I don't think that your confidence NEEDS to come from dressing up but it can be a good tool to make yourself feel better. Also people often forget that you're dressing for yourself. What's so wrong with feeling a bit nicer because you appreciate the way you look that day?
By " dressing up" I mean pulling yourself together. It can mean different things to different people. We have to take care of ourselves without worrying about others and how they will feel. That's their karma not ours... For me seeing other people who look great and take care of themselves inspires me to do the same:)
You're right, everyday we are alive is a special occasion- it's a blessing. Thank you for this video!
I totally agree, I have been in a slump these last couple of months...not going out much, eating bad food and not sleeping enough. I want to make a change too!
i know exactly what you mean, there have been so many times that i have passed up doing things because i don't feel like i look my best. It becomes a slippery slope and then you end up isolating yourself and not wanting to run into anyone even when you do get out of the house....i think you really have given some great advice. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank God I found your videos...I started to work from home sometime ago and I thought there was something wrong with me for not wanting to go out....thank u Mimi!!! I'll try to dress up every single day so I can feel myself again. ❤️
yea I think being confident from within is very important however, if you do love yourself you put effort into yourself. This means you do dress up and exercise and eat healthy almost everyday because you always want to be your best for your own self. Never worry about anyone else's opinions as long as you treasure your self :)
For me, straightening my hair and wearing concealer under my eyes is the equivelant of "dressing-up" for most people. So when I do this I instantly feel super confident to go out and meet the world even if I'm wearing my PJs!
