10 Things That Happen When You Actually Decide to Dress Up

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.

Once every blue moon, there comes a day when you actually decide to try and dress up. Here are the things that happen on those days: 

1. You leave the house excited, looking and feeling good. 

2. People notice you and you notice them.

3. The compliments just keep coming!

4. At this point, you feel like you can take on the world.

5. But then you run into the well-known dress and backpack struggle…

6. Somehow as the day goes on, you feel more and more uncomfortable.

7. You realize that you didn’t anticipate how much you would be moving today. 

8. Your accessories are more of a hassle than a statement. There’s so much adjusting going on throughout the day. 

9. At the end of the day, it feels so good to wipe off all your make up and change into sweatpants. 

10. But it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, just keep on slaying.
