Would you sacrifice comfortable clothes just to look cute/beautiful? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes4 weeks ago

Recently, my girlfriends and I went out for lunch. Thinking it was just a typical day, I wore comfortable clothes: a cute shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes -- rugged and casual to say the very least. I was surprised when I went in the restaurant, 2 of my friends were all dressed up! I've never felt so dressed "down" in my entire life. Sounds funny, but I actually felt out of place. We had a friend who was running late, and I was wondering if she dressed up too as well. To my relief, she was also wearing the same outfit as I did, and we laughed as we were both wearing comfortable clothes.
On typical days, I like to wear comfortable clothes. But on days where there are special occasions, I try to dress up too, but sometimes, I still want to wear comfortable clothes. I remember one of my girlfriends said to me a long time ago when I was the one who felt uncomfortable for her choice of clothes, "Sacrifice comfort for cuteness!" I mean, you look good, but you're not enjoying too much, given the fact that you are uncomfortable. Hahahha. But I am guilty of it too at times, during formal parties and other parties as well w00tHow about you? Would you sacrifice comfort for cuteness? lol

Simple answer: NEVER. lol

Im sure there are those who would suck up all the pain and discomfort just so they would look good and have perfect photos. Im just not one of them. I also prefer the kind of clothes that you wear: jeans, shirt, rubber shoes, Id add my backpack and a tribal necklace(aside from the wristwatch). That would be my day to day outfit, going to school or just walking around the city. I prefer to be comfortable with what I wear so I can be ready for anything. Kinda like being "on-the-go" cause Im never too sure when Ill be messaged saying I need to submit this, or am required to go to this place and get that or something.

Of course, there are situations where in I have to sacrifice my own comfort, but not because of being cute, but because the situation calls for it. Like you mentioned a formal dinner, I certainly couldnt attend that wearing my daily getup. doh

As a rule of thumb for me: Ill wear jeans and rubber shoes whenever possible, if not, resort to slacks and high cut boots. lol
That's just me anyways.^_^

Since I live in a tropical country, the weather's a bit "moody" if you asked me. It would be really hot, then suddenly, it would rain. I wouldn't want to be caught wearing slippers or high heeled shoes during these times! Hahahah lol I once tried wearing high-heeled shoes for the fun of it. But it seemed the weather scorned my wearing them, and it rained so hard, I had a hard time walking. w00t

Hooray for jeans, shirts, and rubber shoes! lol Hahahaha


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2821)  4 weeks ago

I think we live in the same country, and yeah I totally agree with the high heels thing. I was actually required to wear them at a corporate event, but of course I had tricks up my sleeve that I was able to avoid wearing them altogether. lol

Hooray to that!lol

Clothes? No. Shoes, Yes.

I actually am not fond of wearing pumps or high heels but sometimes because of my job, I have to look good and presentable. Then I have to have shoes that match my outfit and sometimes, the shoes aren't exactly comfortable.

As for clothes, I don't recall ever wearing something uncomfortable just to look cute. I think if I don't feel comfortable then I don't look cute because it's not just the clothes itself that should look good. If you're not comfortable, you can't carry it well, so then, to me, you won't look that good. The clothes may look nice but it probably won't look good on you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

I like looking at high-heeled shoes, but I'm not too fond of wearing them either. Though I want to at times, the strain is sometimes just too much. I do agree with you! If you feel uncomfortable, you won't be able to carry the clothes that well.

i like to wear comfortable clothes. wearing other than comfortable clothes would affect my mood. i became nasty and bitchy. there was a time when my mom always nagging me to wear cute dresses when i was young. she said i look cute with ruffles. i don't like ruffles specially the garterred sleeves. ewwww... its itchy and i look bad in the pictures. you could always wear comfortable clothes plus be cute with it. i always go for good quality cloth and cute design. it is an investment. that way i can have both worlds


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

Oh cripes, I know what you mean! My mom used to make me wear clothes that were cute but were "hanging" type of clothes -- the type where you have to tie them above your belly button. Plus dresses that had lace (ITCHYYY), or tight sleeves (I hate tight sleeves, and so much more if it's tight at the armpits!!!)! Makes me cringe just thinking about those distant memories. Hahahah lol

For me, it is next to impossible to sacrifice comfortable clothes just in order to look cute.

Compared with looks, it is obvious that comfort is more important and practical. It is common that there are lots of people who are dressed up just for good appearance. In fact, the outer beauty is transitory, but the inner virtue is lasting. If one is beautiful in heart, they will look beautiful even if they are wearing comfortable clothes.

It is an unwise action to sacrifice comfortable clothes just to look cute. It will never be happen to me.


dressed up

myLot reputation of 60/100. syndrix (322)  4 weeks ago

Well for me, if for example i am the son of the president of the United States why not sacrifice Levis501 just to make it cute. Hehehe. But if you are just an ordinary person then i think or even not an ordinary person it is not good to sacrifice a clothes just to make it cute.


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

I liked how you said "If one is beautiful in heart, they will look beautiful even if they are wearing comfortable clothes". I wouldn't like to spend the whole day wearing very uncomfortable clothes.

Hello aixshaonline this is checkmail and often do think about peoples who try to be more fashionable even if they are uncomfotable or not matching the modern clothes.In mine case I would rather prefer more of comfortable clothes for any occasion and tradition, as clothes are for giving us some comfort.So there is no reason to sarifice our comfot fo it.Yeah you may get weight loss thing, or weight some to fit the new modern clothes if crazily desired.


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

Fashion tends to repeat itself in the future. I think it would be wiser to keep some old clothes (only the ones that still look new? hehehe) for future use. That's just my opinion though lol.

Thanks for responding! Happy MyLotting!

comfort makes you look much smarter in talks

just get relied and enjoy its party time yaaaar!!!!!! lolz


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

I really don't care what other people think of what I wear.. I think? Hahaha.. But I do get conscious at times when I feel overdressed or underdressed blush


myLot reputation of 55/100. kush20006 (336)  4 weeks ago

hi aixsh
whatever you may think but tell me dressing is only necessary when you have to show off
if you are at ground potential how will anything affect you!

hi aixsha, i couldn't do that, i am better off with more comfortable wear, although i get into the trial room and see how i look, well too shabby isn't good either and so have to choose accordingly but i am not going to sacrifice even a small part of comfort just for looking very good, i want to have something that looks decent or say smart at times coollol but yeah comfort and how you feel is the main thing...


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

Okay, being shabby is way out of the question! Hahaha.. w00t

Whoa, are you by chance a lawyer or something? You just mentioned trials...

In your case, I think it would really do good if you dressed up as it would mean a lot to the trial. I think it would exude confidence and readiness to tackle anything. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1437)  4 weeks ago

w00t lawyer! well erm...*imagining self in lawyer outfit* . . . trial "yes my lord the guilty is accused of wearing shabby clothes!" ... court adjournedwhistleglare... eh lol

i used to be a style freak years ago when i was younger and i would wear shoes that looked great but hurt my feet, now i am older i can still get stylish clothes but what are comfortable too, i would never buy shoes that hurt just because they look nice, i need my feet, so my answer is no, i would always go for comfort first....


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

I know what you mean! The shoes really look cool and good, but it can be torture once you wear them for quite a while. But at times, it might be good to invest in good shoes too, in the long run.

Once you are older and married you usually wear comfortable, SENSIBLE, clothes. Even your dress up clothes are comfortable, just in case you have to be in them longer than expected. LOL I think comfort can be "cute" so you don't have to sacrifice either if you want to be "cute".


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (290)   ranked 95 out of 1,970 in clothes  4 weeks ago

I agree! I wouldn't want to spend more than 8 hours in very very very uncomfortable clothes! Yeah, I think comfortable is cute too! lol
