Why is Inara so dolled up when not working?


I scoff at this part. There must be a solid amount of travelling time between planets where she picks up customers. Yet she's decked out to the nines in all the off time between destinations. Does she not own any casual clothes? Will her make-up spoil if she doesn't use it??

She likes to look pretty and is used to look pretty all the time. 

Probably for the same reason Simon dresses like he's going to a business dinner often when just hanging out on the ship of likely to be needed as a doctor.
