Most women, like myself, take at least an hour or an hour in a half to get dressed. This is because of self­confidence. Self-conscience is not something that is taught,but it is a feeling that an individual receives when doing something, or wearing a particular outfit. A few reasons women take a long time to get dressed is that they try to please this judgmental world, and outshine the people next to them. People should not be self­conscience because it interferes with their life which is supposed to be lived happy and carefree. Women can have their outfit lied out on the bed, but will put it on and second guess it because of they are afraid of what someone else might say about their outfit. Society now is so judgmental that others’ can not be happy with what they wear, or how …show more content…

However, some women take a long time to get dressed, so they can outshine the person next to them. People do this for attention, and try to make others think that they are “winning,” but in reality they are not. You should not have to compete with others just to be happy with what you wear. Do not go broke trying to impress someone, because nine times out of ten the people you want to impress is not paying that much attention to you. Everyone should be self-confident in what they wear although it should not matter because what does matter or should count is how you are feeling on the inside. You should not always want to please others, and you should not always want to dress tacky.Whenever a lady walks out of her room with her outfit that she spent hours to pick, she wants to have confident in what she wears. It takes a time to pick out a perfect outfit,

    Sexism is very prevalent in society today. Women are often not seen as wives or girlfriends but more of as a personal maid or sex object to men attracted to her. Men value the looks of a female before anything else. If a woman is dressed more revealing than another there will be more men that get the idea that she’s not the person she actually is. This leads to more sexual harassment between men and women that is often to be thought of as the female 's fault. An example of this when women are cat called on the street and feel ashamed of their appearance but if it was a man in the situation it would be odd. The female is often made to think that she is the one who promoted these advances on herself as evidenced by Bonnie Tsui in “The Undress Code”. The female within the story believes that a sweater that had no sexual intention to it was perceived as the wrong way by a former co-worker which lead to the constant stalking of the female.

    ‘Your coat’s a little shabby, but who cares? It doesn’t keep people from asking you to dine. If I were shabby no one would have me: a woman is asked out as much for her clothes as for herself. The clothes are background, the frame, if you like: they don’t make success, but they are a part of it. Who wants a dingy woman? We are expected to be pretty and well-dressed till we drop – and if we can’t keep it up alone, we have to go into partnership.” (Wharton,

    You will most likely get sat down or kicked out of class if you show up to a professional ballet company class without your attire on. The reason for wearing this outfit is so that the instructor and the dancer can see their body lines and easily correct the mistakes that the dancers make and have a better understanding of their body shapes when working at the barre or going across the floor with combinations. On one hand, the use of ballet clothing makes for a great way to correct your mistakes, but on the other hand is it too much? There is an article of writing written by Brena R. Price and Terry F. Pettijohn ii where they address the issue of “The Effect of Ballet Dance Attire on Body and Self Perceptions of Female Dancers.” (4) In the article, they mention that the use of mirrors and ballet attire hinders a ballet company’s performance in class. Since most ballerinas spend hours and hours criticizing and critiquing themselves, they can cause mental problems like eating disorders and a lack of self confidence. The reason for this being said is that it shows an unnecessary amount of pressure for a dancer that can cause severe problems to them down the

    As stated in “The Lady’s Dressing Room,” dressing up like women do is one of “the charms of womankind” (130). We make ourselves look publically presentable, feel more confident about ourselves because we know we look good, and are able to charm and attract men if we simply but a little effort forward. I don’t consider “trying” for my appearance as giving up or being fake; I consider it a choice I make to feel more confident around people. If 30 minutes, on average, a day is what it takes for that, then that is fine with me. While not all of the ways listed above are ok to use in every single scenario, it is up to the women to decide what the situation calls for, and, furthermore, what makes her happy and comfortable.
