Do you generally try to "look your best"?

Spinoff of the topic about looking good for your man...

Do you strive to look your "best" on a regular basis? I personally only try to look my best on special occasions. The rest of the time I'm fine with looking reasonably put together - clean, fitting clothes, maybe a little bit of make up, brush my hair and I'm set. I choose my clothes for comfort and avoid things like hair dye which require upkeep. I know I could dress better and wear more makeup etc to look better, I just don't care. I don't look "bad", just not my best. The main reason being I don't consider the extra effort worth the time or money.

Has your level of effort in your appearance changed over time? If so, why?

I probably put a little more effort in as a teen in highschool than I do now. I'd wear cute shoes that were uncomfortable for example. Now I'm just like "nah, not worth it". I probably also care less about what other people think now than I did then.

When you feel more secure/confident in yourself do you tend to put more or less effort into your appearance?
