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.]

I agree the near nakedness at grocery stores or any store for that matter-- inappropriate and unnecessary. Here, to see hotel guests walking barefoot on the hotel floors..sorry..I just think yuck...I just cringe with everyone walking all over the place with their dirty shoes and sandals. But then also I see this occasionally in our condo building at home, when they leave the floor where the fitness centre is to go to their home suite floors.

Ilima, if the Superferry was working now, maybe a meeting could have occurred. Keep on cycling!
