And I was actually agreeing with the Colorado stereotype. I live in the mountains and most of my friends only wear makeup and do their hair for prom! Part of why I'm going to college in the South and going through recruitment is because I love things a little more formal and enjoy dressing up.

It isn't that serious, what is serious is how expensive the shoes that fit me that I want are, most start over $100 and that's unacceptable.
At the root of all this is confidence, being comfortable both physically and mentally/emotionally. If someone's feet are killing her, she can't walk, looks like she's playing dress up, she falls or trips, and just puts off a vibe of not being okay in a situation, it won't help at all. I got a horrible allergic reaction the other day, I actually scratched myself in my sleep I broke the skin, I was blotchy, puffy, and had hives, but I still managed to be flirty with some guy in the grocery store and forget that I wanted out of my skin.
I really was lucky that I got over being highly concerned what other people thought in early high school, and as long as I am appropriately dressed people can eat it for all I care. I've been served well that I can go into almost any situation and be okay, if not down right charming, even if I am covered in dirt, wearing dirty clothes, and haven't showered in days. I wouldn't show up to rush like that, but I know if I got a call to be ready in an hour to meet the Obamas or leave for a week at a site I'd be able to handle both in dress and manner.
For some it comes naturally, and others not so much. Fake it 'til you make it is not a bad idea if one doesn't over do it and come off over confident.

LOL at the defense of Colorado. That sounds like everyone here the other week when Pgh got on GQ's worst dressed list and they ragged about everyone wearing Steelers gear all the time. |
I've been eating a lot of brown rice and vegetables, there's always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after me
Oh, like how everyone in Boise wears bluorange all the time because they are bandwagon Bronco fans? The team has that gimmick blue turf and since they just changed conferences they were told they can no longer wear their blue uniforms while playing at home on the blue turf. I swear there was more upset with those uniforms than telling us we can't have matching rush outfits anymore.
I think they should go with all orange uniforms. I mean since they were ranked so highly by CBS/SI
