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!
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!

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