    I think my main problems with dressing smartly every day are a: my lack of full length mirror, and b: my laziness :o
    I can't even use the excuse of not having a full length mirror...so mine is down to lazyness
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    I buy smart clothes only and then you dont have a choice - I only own one pair of jeans and they get worn to work on Fridays with a shirt for dress down day!

    I am however happy to counterbalance this with no make up and flat shoes :D

    Sorry but this made me laugh :rotfl:

    I had plenty of days covered in milk but that was OK at the time - all part of it. If I went out tho i tried to look reasonably together!
    I find now that if I'm going out to work, I make the effort but if I'm at home working I don't always and it does make a difference. Today I got half dressed but it was cold so I put my dressing gown on top "just for a minute" - I've been sat at the computer for nearly 2 hours now tsk tsk...
