Restaurant Dinner Tendencies:Dress-up?

[ilima]

I dress pretty darn casual. But, hey, I live in Honolulu.

One of my friends tends to get tarted up when we go out, but I'm just not into it and think she often looks silly (I realize dressed up and tarted up aren't the same).

I would like to dress a bit nicer, a bit more feminine. I draw the line at high heels, though!

[Edited to add: I do see some way too casual folks on occasion and they always look like tourists. No shirt and no shoes in the grocery--c'mon the locals don't do that; women wearing bikinis, yes bikinis, to the grocery store and other inappropriate places.]
