Listen to Our Blab….and the Poise Experiment Continues!
On Tuesday, I confessed HERE ON MIDLIFE BOULEVARD in our weekly column, that I was convicted about how I dress at home. The book, POLISH YOUR POISE WITH MADAME CHIC, has convinced me that even when all I do is stay at home. I need to dress in such a way as to reflect poise and respect for myself and family. This is one of the ways poise becomes a learned behavior.
I do believe I get more done when I dress as if I am working somewhere else and I also feel better about the day, life, and my work!
So, I have tossed out some of my comfortable, ragged duds in an effort to have less options! On this day at home, I chose to wear:
SOFT SURROUNDINGS METRO LEGGINGS
EILEEN FISHER V NECK TUNIC AT DILLARDS (It’s on sale!)
APRICOT LANE SCARF FROM LAST YEAR
As all things, this will take one day at a time. I do reserve the right to take a few days off during the holidays, wrapped in a warm robe, drinking coffee and watching Christmas movies…that’s called needed rest!
Now, here is one of the things I have done at home lately…appear on BLAB with Jennifer…listen to us
BLAB LINK HERE (we were on the air as the sun was setting in Texas, so I got darker, and darker, and darker! Will have a new broadcast location next time!!)
I need to start doing this again. I always got to rest up professionally when I had phone interviews for that very reason… It would probably help me to get dressed up professionally when I start my workday at home.
Happy weekend Pam – you look lovely and very polished. xox

We all need some days in our robe as needed rest. I did just order a beautiful new robe to wear for those days. The other one just had to go!!
Oh I love this comfortable, yet chic look for home! You look great Pam!

I used to "dress" no matter what…but that has gone out the window in recent years. I have been really trying to dress each day now. I do think it makes a difference. Of course, I have been known to throw my comfy robe over said pretties…you know, when it's cold!! 😉
Hi Pam, This is Jennifer Scott. Thank you for writing about my book! I think you look very beautiful and put together and I am happy you do this even when you are home alone! Keep up the great work. Best Wishes, Jennifer PS- I will share your blog on my upcoming blogpost this week!
Jennifer! What a nice surprise…thank you for stopping by and commenting and sharing. Your book is excellent and so needed…thank you for writing about poise and inspiring me to practice it!
Sometimes when i come home from fitness i start to clean at home and not change(i dont sweat by the way) and at the end of the day i still wearing my joggers. Well, i dont feel feminine at all then!

You still look elegant, even though you put on comfortable clothes. It must be the scarf.
