No it doesn't happen to me, as a guy i don't give much attention to "dressing up" even when i should do, But I think there's nothing wrong in it, maybe you are just feeling optimistic or subconsciously happy about one thing or another and it reflects on your attitude :)

Yes it can happen but when I'm in love or if I really think that i have to, or if someone wants me to, anyway i think if I will have more organized and settled down life I would give more attention to cloth and small details, but up until now I just don't care much..

Do you never wake up some mornigns and decide to make the effort and put on your favourite clothes or the clothes you think look best on you. It doesnt even nhave to be all smart but could be somethign you think will make you look good.

This kind of thing happened to me quite a few times before... I'm glad someone brought this up... It is driving me nuts, and don't really know the reason behind it! Though I stopped doing that for quite a long time, I still feel curious. I didn't even notice it, until some people pointed it out to me. Even friends who don't live with me noticed it, and whenever I get dressed up, they'd go: "Uh-oh! he's doing it again!" Yeah it reminds me of when you have a crush on someone who is expected to show up anytime... but also happened when I didn't feel that.... What the f*** is that?

Yes in fact being a stay at home mother I am usually in my Pajamas all day. So when I go somewhere anywhere I will get dressed up. Alot of times I look really good just to go to the grocery store! Funny all the guys check me out .... It makes me feel like a person again because there is nothing glamorous about staying home with your disabled son! I love it but its not like being a celebrity thats for sure!

Just think how much of a special time you must have together and how much your son must appreciate you. Its good getting dressed up for ntohing. It gives you such a boost and when you have guys checking you out its even better. Lol. It must make your day. Lol.

haha...i think it's a normal behaviour. Sometimes, I also feel like putting on my good clothes and look good for no reason, and do the same. And also, put on makeup whenever i feel like putting it on even if it's before bedtime,and then would wash my face.

Oh yes, I think most women do if we're honest! Nothing makes a girl feel better than to feel good about herself, and wearing nice clothes, and some make-up, is a good way to do that without breaking the bank! o of coure you're not losing your mind - well unless I am too! LOL!

I do this too! Sometimes I just feel like getting all dressed up. Sometimes I don't even go anywhere either.

It depends, if i'm in a really good mood ;) Sometimes I really dress up when going to church or on our Friday night youth service. If I feel like dressing up, I would but if I feel like wearing something just comfortable but still stylish, then i'd go for that.

I do because I have to for work but I am sure that if I didn't I still would, I do stay in my suits after work before I get ready for bed and on day when I have nothing to do but work around the house I dress up a little still not as nice as I do for work but more than most people would.

I have to dress up daily for work, so I count the hours to get in my jeans and t-shirt. I have been known to dress up on the week-end for no apparent reason, but mostly I do not do it out of the work have to dress that way.

i'll tell you what happens to me... I always choose my dress at morning accordint to the weather or what I'm going to do (formal meeting, a day at the hospital, a day in laboratory, meeting with friends and so on) ..therefore sometimes I'm very formal, other times I wear jeans...but when I'm a bit depressed I take much care of me and the things I put on....that is I choose my favourite underwear, my favourite clothes, I pay much attention to make up...it helps me feel better, a little...in this way i turn the bad mood into another opportunity of loving me!!! Anyway clothes are a funny joke...one we start playing as a children..why should we stop playing as women? It is so funny matching dresses and shoes and coats...well..I must confess...I like the simple idea of dressing up!

As I can remember, I have never done dressing up like you said. But feeling just wanted to go out and got changed and finally ended up sitting on my sofa, ever done by me.
