It takes you 5 minutes or less to get ready.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>(And not because you roll out of bed and wear your pj\u2019s all day.) From casual sweats to a classy blouse, you wear what you feel and you rock it with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-solo-shopping-is-preferred\">2. Solo shopping is preferred.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A mall date with your girls is always fun, but you\u2019re perfectly okay on your own (if not more productive). You can stroll at your own pace, pick out exactly what you want, get in, try on, and get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-dressing-for-a-date-doesn-t-give-you-anxiety-whatsoever\">3. Dressing for a date doesn\u2019t give you anxiety whatsoever.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just another day, another outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-you-ve-never-been-one-to-send-a-dressing-room-selfie-to-the-group-chat\">4. You\u2019ve never been one to send a dressing room selfie to the group chat.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You know when you look good. No need for the label of approval, even from the besties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-you-own-several-taller-than-all-the-boys-pairs-of-heels\">5. You own several taller-than-all-the-boys pairs of heels.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And you really don\u2019t care, even if they limit your dating prospects. They\u2019re cute heels. And you\u2019re one hot giantess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-there-s-a-certain-type-of-clothing-that-your-friends-identify-as-so-you\">6. There\u2019s a certain type of clothing that your friends identify as \u2018so you\u2019.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s because you have your own, unique style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-you-ve-either-been-accused-of-bumming-it-too-much-or-making-us-all-look-bad-at-least-once-in-your-life\">7. You\u2019ve either been accused of \u2018bumming it too much\u2019 or \u2018making us all look bad\u2019 at least once in your life.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re comfortable chillin&#8217; yoga pants and a hoodie when you need a lazy day (or week). And you can doll up and dress up (in 5 min. or less) for multiple days in a row. Haters gonna hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-you-ll-wear-white-all-year-long-thank-you-very-much\">8. You\u2019ll wear white all year long, thank you very much.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And Crocs, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-you-have-at-least-one-completely-crappy-article-of-clothing-that-you-totally-wear-in-public\">9. You have at least one completely crappy article of clothing that you totally wear in public.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And that article of clothing (probably sweatpants) is your favorite and super comfy, so who cares if the bottoms are ripped and there\u2019s a hole in the pocket?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-you-really-don-t-give-a-sh-t-about-what-s-hot-or-in-or-trending-right-now\">10. You really don\u2019t give a sh*t about what\u2019s \u2018hot\u2019 or \u2018in\u2019 or \u2018trending\u2019 right now.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And you probably never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-you-ll-season-push-whatever-the-hell-you-feel-like\">11. You\u2019ll \u2018season push\u2019 whatever the hell you feel like.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From shorts when it\u2019s 50 degrees to scarves in the summer. Your world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-your-closet-varies-from-sporty-to-girly-to-trendy-to-chill\">12. Your closet varies from sporty to girly to trendy to chill.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have a set style. You wear what feels good, what makes sense for what you\u2019re doing, and what you like, from floral print dresses to leather jackets and fishnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-you-never-understood-why-the-whole-day-to-night-thing-is-a-big-deal\">13. You never understood why the whole day-to-night thing is a big deal.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have no problem strutting your stuff in the same outfit all day (unless it\u2019s a post-workout outfit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-you-don-t-take-your-outfits-or-yourself-too-seriously\">14. You don\u2019t take your outfits (or yourself) too seriously.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Silly hat, Hello Kitty shirt, a pair of overalls\u2014they&#8217;re just clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-you-only-have-one-rule-for-getting-dressed\">15. You only have one rule for getting dressed.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And the rule is that there aren\u2019t any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dressing for a date doesn\u2019t give you anxiety whatsoever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52923609,"featured_media":1178617,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"thoughtcatalog_call_to_action":"","tc_post_redirect":"","thoughtcatalog_is_sponsored_content":"0","footnotes":""},"categories":[603198233,603229610],"tags":[],"anchortext":[],"posttemplate":[],"adcampaign":[],"coauthors":[313988948],"class_list":["post-1178614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-self-help","category-wellness"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2025-12-03-Woman-Cross-Jewelry-Contemplative.jpg.jpg","author_meta":null,"photo_credit":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1178614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52923609"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1178614"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1178614\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1178618,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1178614\/revisions\/1178618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1178617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1178614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1178614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1178614"},{"taxonomy":"anchortext","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/anchortext?post=1178614"},{"taxonomy":"posttemplate","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posttemplate?post=1178614"},{"taxonomy":"adcampaign","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/adcampaign?post=1178614"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thoughtcatalog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1178614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
