Being back in school, I'm reminded why I'm doing my clothes experiment. I see girls in my house get up at 6am for their 8am class to blowdry their hair, curl their eyelashes, etc. I wake up at 7am for my 7:30am weight session and am ready in five minutes (to be fair I'm going to workout at the athlete's weight room where no one has expectations for your clothes except that it's Oregon State and/or Nike gear). But then I go to class and all around me there are constructed outfits and perfectly ruffled hair and matching shoes everywhere. and it's not just the girls; even the guys are in on the obvious peacocking.
I wore a pair of non-brand name jeans, a white t-shirt, sneakers, and braided hair today. It took me all of ten minutes to get ready after my shower today. (It would have taken less but I braided my hair and I only did that because I didn't want to braid it before practice this afternoon.) I felt comfortable and like I fit into this room and yet it took waaay less brainpower and time then a lot of the people in that room. And seriously who are you getting dressed up for? We're sitting in a 200 person lecture for 50 minutes. No one is paying you any mind.

I think it's partially a college campus thing. Now that all the undergrads are back I was walking through campus and feeling like there were a million carefully constructed outfits.
