When I was in college, I used to force myself to wear nice clothes whenever I was feeling down. It was hard to be motivated to get up early and fix myself up, but it always made me feel a bit better. I recognized that if I wasn't feeling well and I looked like crap, it made me feel even worse. Luckily, these days I don't have much to feel down about and I dress up because I like it. I am a happy girl :0) Some quick reasons why I'm feeling happy these days? I've got a job that allows me to help others every day, I have wonderful friends who make me laugh so hard I almost pee myself (Allison and Karin, last night was hilarious!), I'm looking forward to a three day weekend, I have a handsome man who I love very much, two kitties who cuddled up with me all night, and a Cosby-esque family that never lets me down.

I dealt with this just this week. Felt like absolute crap, but dressed up my outfit with heels and a blazer. I felt much better.

Beautiful heels!!
I do the same thing to improve my mood, but often my focus is to wear "happy colors"

YAY! I'm so happy you're feeling so up. You've been looking gorgeous and super happy, lately. I love having things to be thankful for! I adore how you mixed the blue and teal in this outfit!
Also you look fab in this outfit so that's another thing to be happy about!
I always find that dressing up when I'm feeling down is the perfect pick-me-up! I love the color combos here. Indeed, you do have a lot to be happy for! Cheers!
What a lovely post! Being a fabulous blogger should be added to that list too! :D
And yes, sometimes I feel crummy and just want to show up to work looking like a slob but I force myself to look decent and I'm always glad I do!

LOVE the color combo! Fabulous!
I do the same if I feel like crap but I dress to the nines
I definitely dress up to motivate! Sometimes I'm not really feeling like running errands of going to work but, I can fake it with how I dress and no one is the wiser!
