The way you dress impacts how you feel about yourself, too. Sometimes when I do not feel pretty and want to, if I take 30 minutes to put on a fancier outfit, accessorize, whatever I use to small good, etc, going through that ritual and putting that effort in will make me feel better. "Dress good to feel good," I call it.

I agree. I don't like dressing nice or taking selfies, but when I do dress nice, I can't help but take a selfie for the fun of it. Cause to be honest I'm a pretty clean cut guy already, but when I'm cleaned up and dressed nice, I look goooood. It feels great.

I see this a lot. It seems to be more prevelant in females than males where I live, I never really understood it. I feel better when I feel shitty in sweats than in a suit, even though I look awesome in a suit and pretty Rugged in sweats.

I get this feeling exclusively when I put on a suit.

This is true, I don't usually do this but I think my wife has. I am going to try it more and see if it makes a bit of a difference.
