    if i'm at home, i'll sloth it in jim jam pants and a singlet - for comfort, and cos they wash and wear easily - and if i DO manage to snag them on a rose in the garden they're much cheaper to replace. anywhere else, i dress for ME, but i dress very differently. i sometimes wears jeans but mostly if i'm going to someones house for a casual bbq or something - mostly i wear dress-ish pants/crop pants and a simple top - comfy, looks decent, and matches most things. the only thing i really vary is the shoes i wear - or the colors (depending on where/what i'm doing - darker for a funeral etc)

    ummm, with jewellery - i wear what i'm comfy wearing and i don't look at who i'm going to be around when i choose what to wear. my engagement/wedding and eternity rings hve been fused together so i wear all three all the time, and usually will have a ring on the other hand - just change which one depending on my mood. i have a gold bracelet that i wear all the time, and an anklet that i wear when i go to health related appointments (got it made while going through IVF so it just feels right to wear it - like for luck or something - it's usually covered). i haven't done the girly girl nails things since our wedding - and only then cos of the photos - i keep my nails mostly short and functional.

    What I wear, I wear for me, usually appropriate to the venue. Now that I'm losing weight, I like to look good. Currently I'm not wearing any expensive clothing because I'm still dropping weight and don't want to waste money on it - but I am clothes swapping with one of my best friends since we're similar sizes (clothes & shoes). OK if I'm at home, I'm usually nekkid as much as possible or in grotty gym gear.

    The boy's reaction to one of my best friends and I mentioning via email today that we were going shopping on saturday was "again" (until I mentioned lingerie shopping and he grinned) - yet he is a bigger label queen than either of us, is really particular about what he wears out on the weekend and can tell my perfumes apart and will comment on my jewellery.

    I wear jewellery every work day - necklace, rings & watch. On weekends usually just necklace and rings. These change daily dependant on my mood.

    I wear make-up to work and on weekends (usually when I'm going out only), I wear perfume ALL the time, rarely paint my nails and I try to keep them at a nice length.

    Oh My .... I'm turning into a girlie-girl

    I wear what I want. I really don't dress for other people! I do check with my DH that he likes my outfit every now and then, but he usually does. I don't like wearing "slobbing" clothes (eg tracksuit bottoms) so don't own any of those. I like dresses and skirts, so own a lot of those.

    I feel more comfortable covered up, so I cover up. So long as I'm comfortable then I really don't care.

    Make-up: I like doing my make-up. So when I have time, I do it. Nails I do when DS asks me to do his (I put all the nail varnish on my nails so he gets an almost empty brush to paint his... I'm mean, I know). Eyebrows when I have time.
