That is understandable.

I read a survey done by a women's magazine back in the 80s that said that when women dress up to go out, 90% of women dress for the other women, not for the men. The implication was that a compliment on our appearance coming from another nice-looking woman is more reaffirming and we hold their opinion in higher esteem.

And as we all know men are pigs and will leer at cartoon characters, so their opinion doesn't really matter.  ;D  (Just kidding. Guys are so adorable when they fall all over themselves).

But a compliment from another woman has a lot of value. I don't think you were fishing for compliments, but it was the same sort of thinking when trying to decide what to wear. At least that's what I think was happening.

Lori,

Yes, I do not have any motivation to fish for compliments.
I politely accept them, but never try to get one. 
It is good to look professional when the situation calls for it and this makes it more comfortable for me.  There are situations where you should dress well.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I do love wearing dresses and skirts. With warmer weather, I'll also soon be wearing a lot of skorts, too. I can't wait!!!
With much love,

Intelligence is like underwear. It's important that you have it, but not necessary that you show it off

Skorts are best. Other wise biker shorts or Spanxs under Skirts.  I'm too heavy for summer dresses.
