How dressing changes my attitude (and a few new photos)

I am older and no longer have the ability to dress as often as I wish, due to family members who have moved back home. What I have found is that I am often called 'cranky' by others. However they seem to notice that some days I am now really "mellow" and "easy going" as if my entire outlook on life has changed. When I correlated these comments I finally came to realize that yes, after I have the time to do my make up and dress my attitude changes completely. It is not that I become 'submissive', but rather dressing 'calms me' and calms my mind. I truly wish I could dress more often.

I also found that when I used to be able to join another where we would dress together, if even just for drinks in a private house or hotel room, my outlook on life changed for at least a week at a time.
