I wasn't putting anyone down. I simply stated that dressing up a little isn't difficult. I feel it does show respect for yourself and others in the right environments. A pretty maxi from Soma is like wearing pj's, and is probably the most comfortable attire I own! And, it looks dressy!

I still feel the OP is absolutely right, and there's no shame whatsoever in that. Dress codes have degraded.

And, I don't take the effort of dressing up or wearing makeup to impress people. I do it out of respect for myself. I'm a confident gal, and it shows in the way I present myself. Why wouldn't I want to look my best when I'm out?

But, to each his own. Tee and shorts, or heels and a cute dress... We'll all get to eat at Disney! Nobody gets turned away.
