Do I really have to look my best every day? Is that even realistic? Yes and yes.
Looking good means feeling good. Feeling good means doing good. Last week I was fighting a virus. This autumnal virus came with the works: fever, sweats, cough, congestion, and aches. It took me and everyone in the house out for a whole week. But I had a secret weapon: style was a major part of my get-well regimen!
I wore a bright, splashy kimono with red, pink, and teal print over my matching set of pajamas. I used a matching pink silk headscarf to keep my hair mostly in place. Not gonna lie... I looked pretty fabulous when I opened the door one single time to gather my Indian takeout from the courier.
My goal was to nurse myself and my partner back to health, but I still took the time to:
shower to start each day
pull my hair into a simple bun
wear matching satin pajamas
complete a light skincare routine once a day
Even when I’m sick I do my best to look my best. I made sure to look my best to help me feel the best I possibly could. Looking your best isn’t about perfection, it’s about intentional effort. Taking this time for my personal image wasn’t about outside perception, but more for my self-concept. It gave me the extra energy I needed to answer a few LinkedIn messages and do some laundry while taking plenty of naps.
Now if you’re in good health you have even more reason to look your best!
🙌🏾 There’s no reason to allow yourself to look slobbish even if your goal is comfort. There are so many great loungewear looks you can rock on your down days.
🛍️ Even if you’re doing quick errands start your day taking care of you. Not looking your best in the name of “comfort” or not trying “too hard” is a very immature way to represent yourself in the world and yourself.
🥰 It doesn’t take much to shower and slip into nice pajamas or put on a great pair of jeans with a clean t-shirt in your wow color.
