Sometimes i feel "bad" for wearing something?

Sometimes I look at other girls and think "wow, they look gorgeous in those clothes. I'll also dress like that". But then when the time comes I feel bad for wearing it. It's like, I feel like people will think I am trying to seek for attention and like everyone is looking at me. If people look at me I'll think they're probably thinking negative things. I know it's stupid. But it happens sometimes. Maybe it's because I usually wear "normal" clothes, but somedays I feel like dressing up and want to feel pretty. But then, again, I think it is "too much" because that's not what I usually wear.

For example: I bought this high socks because I really love them. I only wore them once though, because even if I really like them, I feel like people are looking at me.
I love shorts and I like to see it in other people, but when I use them in college or something I don't feel good because I spend 99% of the time wearing pants. If that makes sense.

Girls, have you ever felt something like this? Just wanted to know if it's just me or anyone else xD

    Yeah, I get what you're saying. I dress very casually, plain most of the time and a lot of clothes are out of my comfort zone. You should always dress the way you want though. There are going to be people that judge you for your clothes no matter how you dress, so try not to worry about it. I know it's not that simple or easy, but try your best!

    I have the same problem sometimes, you just need to keep your head up, and say, "I look great". Like today I was wearing a pretty outfit with heels walking my dog, and I felt overdressed.. But then I thought, at least I look good. XD Just don't feel guilty, I bet you look awesome!

      Yeah, I do think I look good. However I feel like... "overdressed", yeah, that's the right word.
      And thank you :) It's good to know I'm not alone! I thought I was weird XD

    I feel the same way sometimes. Though in my case it was because I used to be fat and didn't wear certain clothes because I knew I wouldn't look good in them. Now I'm so used to jeans and a t-shirt that shorts, skirts, heels, leggings, and tank tops make me feel self conscious or weird when wearing them.

      Yeah, jeans are my comfort zone for sure! lol
      Try to wear those kind of clothes more often if you want and maybe you'll get used to them, too (:

    I get were you are coming from... I used to feel embarrassed when I was more "dressed up" than usual because I didn't want people to think that I want their attention or that I am insecure and want them to think that I am pretty.

    I think that you should wear whatever you like and it is your right to want to be seen as attractive. Don't worry about whether or not people think you are trying too hard. Try to look good as much as YOU like AND feel comfortable with :) Try to have a balance that makes you feel comfortable and you will truly shine. :)

    Don't you ever care again about what people think.... it is a waste of time. Our appearance should primarily satisfy as and THEN other people ( let's be honest we want others to like us) :)
