At the time of writing this article we are experiencing the Covid-19 Pandemic therefore, dealing with isolation, social distancing and adjusting to a \u201cnew\u201d normal way of living in both our personal and work lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this disruption can also come the lack of motivation to get dressed each day when we may not have anywhere special to go, and in many cases are house bound for most of our week. With this in mind we thought we would address one of our style beliefs which is\u2026when we dress up, we feel good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is something we have proven many times over the years when personally styling clients of all ages and demographics from corporate executives to stay at home mums and retirees. Research also suggests \u201chow you dress effects how you think and feel\u201d and \u201cthe strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, in these times of uncertainty or general \u201clazy days\u201d around the house it can help our mental state and energy levels immensely if we can feel good about ourselves. So how do we do that, when it is so easy to just be slack and slip on any old thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to get up and dress up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point of \u201cdressing up\u201d isn\u2019t to look like you are about to step onto the red carpet, it is about wearing an outfit that requires a little more effort but is still appropriate to the occasion. We believe we need to take a page out of our ancestors book\u2026 Our nan (and great nan) applied her \u201cpink diamonds\u201d lip gloss until the day she passed away, we believe her era knew a thing or two about dressing up and feeling good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT:<\/strong> When you put in the extra bit of effort, you look better and when you look better you feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether we are still in isolation or just enjoying your days reading books and lounging around home, why not give some of the below tips a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel good and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
