People getting dolled up for simple places

I've been told that I do this by my friends. I remember I had on a regular shirt and jeans and sneakers and my homegirl said I looked cute and dressed up. I looked basic as hell. Another time I was going to the supermarket with a friend and I had my hair in big twists that look like celie braids. I went to take them down and she tried to throw shade talking bout I look like I'm about to go on a date.

I am what some people would call stay "dolled" up. Whatever that means. Us people who care about appearances call it taking pride in one's look.

Some people would say I am overdressed (the ones who did not take any effort).  I would rather be over dressed than under dressed and looking a hot mess. Usually I find its the ones that really do not care about what they have on who judge the most. Those are the same ones that once I come sashaying by,  they start patting/smoothing down their hair, putting on gloss, etc. You knew what the heck you looked like before you stepped out the door. No need to try and clean it up now lol.

Not saying one has to be done up all the time but at least look like you tried. A woman should always be clean, neat, brows groomed and hair did. The extra's are just icing on the cake.

Will go back home, have a drink and watch TV the rest of the day.   'Dressing professionally' = equals trying to build something for yourself, an education. a serious savings account, a job promotion .. owning your own business.You mind look over dressed at Mc Donald but people expect you are off to bigger and better things when you leave.

You say that likes it's a weird thing (or at least that's how I read it )
