I went on a very long walk, did some window shopping, popped into a fancy boutique and found myself making excuses for why I was wear sweat pants and a T shirt to the very stylish clerk who rung me up for a pair of earrings I found in the discount bin ( she was polite but. As I read the chapter in Madame Chic, I could feel that familiar feeling of guilt and shame creeping up, and I put off writing this post for hours.
Even though I am in not one, but two how to dress style groups, and people rave about my outfits I post, that is the rare thing in my day to day life, I wish it was not true, but it is. I wanted to be June Cleaver when I grew up, the perfect housewife, and I tried very hard, but as the fibro took hold and life situations got dicey, I slid down the slippery slope and into pjs apparently, or just comfy clothing in general. Growing up I watched reruns of 50's sitcoms, Leave it to Beaver and I love Lucy were my favorites. Oh I have heard all the suggestions, but unless you can go braless.anyway, even though when I go out I try to be presentable, fashionable even, if I am at home it just does not seem to happen. It has always been a thorn in my side that I can not seem to find clothing that I can look presentable in, not frumpy, and still be comfortable. Not unusual for me to sit down for supper in them. If I have gotten dressed, by the time evening rolls around I am back in them as it is so much more comfortable for me to be in loose fitting pjs than in clothing ( such as a bra) to spend the evening. The aches and pains, the exhaustion from countless nights of disturbed sleep from all the side effects and symptoms that go with having such a thing, that once day time rolls around, if I am not going out of the house, I am in my PJs. I have suffered ( not as bad as many out there, luckily for me) for most of my life if memory serves, but more so for the past 20 years. One must strive to look presentable always. Scott, this is a big taboo in the French culture. In reading Chapter 8, in part 2 of Lessons from Madame Chic written by Jennifer L. Oh I do my hair, possibly even add a touch of make up, but I do not get dressed. They did not lounge around the house in their pajamas, and they did not stroll around the streets and the grocery store in them either! Now I do not do the latter, but am often at home in my pjs all day long. Ready to face the day with every hair in place, make up on and presentable should hey see or be seen by anyone. It is not even a total French thing, years and years ago it was the norm that a woman ( people in general really) would get dressed upon rising in the morning. Oh I try to draw upon the pinkie size amount of supposed French bloodline that I have, and learn from all the books I have read over the years, I have failed time and time again in the area of being/looking presentable always. No matter how much I would love to channel my inner French girl (woman), there are some areas it just is not going to happen as much as I would like it to. Their Silk Special Deals allow a complete cleaning schedule for your business attire rotation and they can even deliver to your home."

Many are updating their standard polyester workwear too by gravitating to more natural fibres. Now more straps adjust, belts remove, waistbands stretch and fabrics flow. Casual pieces in bright patterns and bold colours. Self-expression meets style in stepped-down business attire with playful dresses, polo shirts and more. Fashion retailers have prepared for the change too, realising there is a new era in office wear. Many are moving focus to functionality and less about the ties and stiff collars. One should still dress to respect others & their employ, but giving up squeezing into the old tight-fitting office clothes, well it sounds nice.Ĭompanies too, including consulting firms, retailers, and even law firms are adopting more flexible work. Of course, back to work requires one to be presentable. The old adage “dress to impress” seems to have gone for a coffee.
