5 reasons to dress up ...

... as soon as you leave your house/(dorm) room.

We all have those days that we just do not feel like dressing up. May be you were late, or you just want to dress comfortable. Regardless of the reason why you may not feel like it, it is important to dress up whenever you leave your place because of the following reasons.

First, you will really feel better when you dressed up. My personal mantra is: "Dress well, feel well". If I have a bad day and I am not dressed well, I feel twice as bad as when I have a bad day while being dressed up fine. 

Did I have a bad day? Can't remember, but I felt good because I was dressed up! 

Second, you never know whom you run into. It can be the cute guy from your English Literature class or the head of the admission committee from the special honours programme you wanted to apply for. In either case, you will want to hit your head against a wall if you walk around with your just-out-of-bed look. 

Imagine some hot dude sitting here while you are wearing your oldest, least charming clothes.

Third, you simply look better. If you are dressed up in class, you show respect to the teacher, because not only you are present, but you also bothered to give your teacher or professor something better to look at than a scarecrow. If you have an appointment scheduled for that day, you show respect for the person with whom you have the appointment. Of course, no need to go all formal, but just make sure you wear clothes! 

Fourth, it is important to distinguish night-clothes from day-clothes. As comfortable as your nightwear is, most of it is just not made to be worn at daytime. Most of my nightwear is too cold, too sporty, or too [insert anything making it unsuitable] for daytime. Under my blankets, a simple tunic is fine, but without them, I become an ice-brick at the spot! 

I don't like wearing thick clothes at night, so if I'd jump out of my window with the snow here, I'd freeze! 

Fifth is related the above: changing clothes for your hygiene. All girls must have read at least a couple of times in their lives that it is important to cleanse your face before you are going to sleep. The same goes for your clothes: change them when you get out of bed. I sweat a lot of night and I would not feel fresh if I wore my night-clothes to class. 

These are my reasons for dressing up during daytime. Do you dress up when you have to leave your place? Are you going to change the bad habit of not dressing up for leaving your place after reading this? Let me know!
