Yep! Typically, I make sure I have on makeup and clothes that are "slimming." I'm almost 100% sure that this is b/c my mom is always critical about my appearance.
I also often wear clothes that I think she would wear--scarves, big jewelry. I want to show that I can be like her--all grown up and together, or something.
One exception is that on days when I feel really hopelessly depressed (more so than usual) I don't wear makeup, wear sloppier clothes, and wear glasses rather than contacts. It's almost like I want to show her how bad I feel.
Great thread!
