Coutner question for ya Doc! If you dress strictly for yourself, and yourself only, why do you post pics in the name of vanity?
Your clothing is your expression of self. In several cases, such as a job interview, they become a projection of self. People wear what they do to be seen, knowing full well that anyone that sees them will form their first opinions, however vague and non-committed, on what they see.
I've been to a couple of formals where two gals were wearing what was close enough to the same dress... line of sight between the two was a dangerous place to be. I will never know why that was - and still is in some circles, but I suspect Alpha Queen type stuff. I've also had a girlfriend that would only wear a dress to a formal event once - not even for two in different countries (let alone different ball rooms in the same city!) - she called it a fashion faux pas... I called it snobby... but that's the image projection she was after with her peers (ie, the "other women" to dress for).
No answer is one size fits all. You can't take my old gf's opinion and say that "women" in general are like her, but you can't discount it either.
