0 Dress attire when going out...does it matter?

I was reading on Opinionated Mamas (great blog) and they were discussing whether or not it was important to dress "nice" when you leave the house.

Here is a snippet of her opinion:
"On facebook the other day I saw a post and it really bothered me...it was a post from a woman, about being in public and seeing another woman in her pajamas and slippers at the post office. The woman who posted wondered how woman can let themselves go out in public like that, and not fix themselves up before leaving the house. Saying that women should be women and look good when they go out.

Really? What does it matter? I am not the type of person to judge people. So I guess that is why it bothered me so much. Maybe the woman was having a bad day and didnt feel like getting dressed, maybe she had a loss in the family and was upset and when women get upset we don't feel like being pretty. There are so many different things that could have kept her in her pajamas, maybe she was having a lazy day. "

My opinion on this:

Being a mother doesn't mean I don't need to practice basic hygiene. I find that some moms (I have been guilty of this too) get into a rut and think it's okay not to shower for days and not fix our hair. That's not okay. If you don't have enough time in your day to even take a 15 minute shower and put on some clean clothes, you may need to re-arrange your day. I'm sorry but, if I had to choose between writing a blog post and washing my rump, I am going to wash my rump.

Being that I have a daughter, I want to teach her as well that taking of yourself is important. You need to shower, brush your teeth, wash your face and comb your hair every day. And I am not talking about doing this for others, I am talking about doing it for yourself. I feel so much better with clean clothes on and a fresh rump. Don't you?

Now, everyone is going to have different opinions on what "dressed up" is but, to me, a clean t-shirt, some pants and sneakers is a nice outfit to wear out and about. As long as the clothes are clean and wrinkle free (don't iron? throw them in the dryer for a few minutes).

Now, I do agree that house slippers do not belong in the post office... a pair of flip flops would have been a  better choice. I am not a fan of pajamas out of the house because it just shows that you haven't showered yet or freshened up.

What do you think?
