Im a gemini and a complete chameleon. So I dress in what i like, but I also dress for the occasion.
I also believe that there's no such thing as being over-dressed as I always get it just right. I just worry about the people who underdress. (I am joking, honest).

I dress for me but always with a mind to the occasion. I make a lot of effort if other women are around as I don't like the thought of appearing dowdy in comparison.

I do dress to please myself, however I am conscious about how I look to others, sometimes if I really like an outfit, and my OH or my daughter comments a little negatively it does put me off...

I'm with Issi. I hope I'm always dressed appropriately but with a little 'edge', to reflect who I am.

For me definitely.

Re: Who do you dress for ? honestly !

Hmm, interesting question. I'd have said I dressed for myself (certainly not for OH as he never notices what I wear!) but during the week I do tend to plan what I'm wearing according to who's at work that day.

If I'm at home I dress for comfort.
Mostly I dress for me - to put my best foot forward so to speak. Sometimes I dress for my daughters - so their Mum looks a bit trendy. Sometimes I dress for my OH...or rather undress for my OH..oh I am naughty

Re: Who do you dress for ? honestly !

When I was going to my 15 years old son parent's evening, my son said "you will dress up, won't you?"
I wouldn't mind but I didn't dress that bad to begin with!
Back to the question. I dress for myself but look at others (and copy) to see what would suit me. I read articles in the Daily Mail about fashion but they generally haven't a clue as they're talking about avant garde edge to fashion. They try to get an angle about the High Street but I generally don't think it's aim at me.
And in the You magazine this week Twiggy still loves the gypsy skirt look and boots. So do I. She doesn't do sheer tights, only opaque. Loves cowboy boots, jeans. Sensible girl.

If we are going somewhere special I will ask OH what outfit he prefers on me then end up wearing the opposite! I think he has noticed this & so chooses the one I'm least likely to wear(complicated or what!)

I spent years dressing the way that was expected. Neat,tidy, inconspicuous, Didn't stop ex-OH and the tart.
Now I dress for me. I'm not an extrovert, nothing outrageous, and I dress correctly for work, etc.
But now I enjoy what I wear

Definitely for me but I do take the occasion into consideration.

Re: Who do you dress for ? honestly !

I would say I mostly dress to suit the occasion more than anything else.
I blame those cut out dolls on the back of Bunty!!
What should Bunty wear to the pony club/garden party/disco etc

I generally dress for me, but will dress to suit an occasion, I will ask my OH opinion and he usually tells me what he thinks, if he can tear his head away from his laptop long enough!!
I dress casual in the house, but like to be smart if going into town, never go anywhere without my earings or Lippy!!
