Dinah, I think you should! But also you should know that modern hair accessories are pretty nifty. I love those little jaw clips that you can get all over the place now. It makes it so much easier to get your hair up, or hold it back.
I think it's fun to get a little dressed up. My husband also doesn't like makeup on women, but I do it anyway, for myself. I grew up wearing makeup (I mean, after an appropriate age, of course), and there is something about the ritual of it that I find very soothing. Same with wearing nice clothes. Not that I do all that often.
Which is not to say that it can drag you out of a deep depression or anything. I know "fixing yourself up" showed up in our stupid depression advice poll. But if you're inspired anyway, I think it *can* lift a non-depressed mood. Works for me anyway.
You gotta tell us what happens if you do go for it.
