Are you in the Work From Home (WFH) forever club? If there’s one thing the last 2+ years have shown us, it’s that you don’t have to be in a corporate office to make your impact on the world.
I’ve worked from my spare bedroom since 2008, the first 6 for an international organization, and for the last 9 years in my own small business, so you’re in good company.
And the right clothes can improve your self-esteem and give you the confidence to nail your presentation on Zoom and go after your dream client.
Wearing your sweatpants and hoodie can confuse your brain, because it’s thinking “RHOBH and Skinny Pop” and you’re pushing back with punch lists and performance reviews.
No wonder you feel unmotivated.
Work From Home Club
Dressing for work from home doesn’t mean that you have to pull out your hard pants.
It means wearing something on the top of your body in one of your best colors. That gorgeous color will give you energy, enhance your facial features, and help you glow from the inside out. (Trust me, that beautiful glow comes through on the Zoom screen.)
Pro tip #1: Staring at your face in your WOW color on a Zoom call will also impact the way that you feel about yourself. It’s an instant confidence boost!)
On the bottom, put on jeans with lots of lycra, or an elastic waist pant. Something comfy, but not sloppy.
And on your feet? Do what feels good. Your fuzzy slippers are calling.
Pro tip #2: Pulling on your joggers at the end of the day is a great step to shift your mindset away from work, help you put your laptop away, and focus on your family without feeling guilt.
Are you going back to the office or working a hybrid schedule? Have you changed how you show up since March of 2020?
***Remember: Be more you. Show up in the world with confidence and joy.
