I'm always nervous with this topic because I'm afraid people will think it's superficial but you all get it. It's about so much more than just looks. It's about respect and not getting sloppy as a society.<br /><br />LilyBart- the music at the end of the video is a generic jazz piece I used from Garage Band. I wish I could say I composed it!<br /><br />I will revisit this topic again as I have much more to say on the subject!<br /><br />Best wishes to you all xo<br />The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-43093338240076590552012-12-05T12:23:15.740-08:002012-12-05T12:23:15.740-08:00YES!

I always do lipstick, but if I hadn't changed my outfit and put on makeup and restyled my hair....this Santa Claus picture would be scarier! Truly, TRULY!

I am a faithful follower of your b...Dear Jennifer,<br /><br />I am a faithful follower of your blog and I so much enjoyed reading your book.<br />Recently I thought about this subject even more (even blogged about it), because as a new mother one seems to have less and less time for herself. However, I feel that looking presentable always or most of the times is possible. <br /><br />Make-up, mani, pedi & a decent hair – it’s all doable, even at home, even by yourself and even with an inconsiderate stopwatch ticking in the background (okay, maybe not all of them at once). <br /><br />The point is, you need and deserve to take care of yourself and feel, if not all glamorous and diva-looking, at least decent and pulled together. And if you find a million excuses to that, ask yourself this: how would you like your child to remember you? All pale, sloppy and grumpy, with a constant lunatic stare and wearing PJ’s or tracksuits 24/7? And what about your husband? How do you think he feels silently witnessing the decaying condition of the woman he loves?<br /><br />I think answering these questions will give you some new perspective and motivation to put a bit of effort into it. It’s all worth it. <br /> <br />Lots of love,<br />CloverAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050231525522682617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-77079111157447798082012-12-04T20:41:38.745-08:002012-12-04T20:41:38.745-08:00Jennifer, my husband and I were talking about this...Jennifer, my husband and I were talking about this and feel people are buying nice cars and homes instead of taking care of themselves. It is as if their car is their clothing.

I work in a rather casual environment, but the most casual outfit you'd ever see me in at work, would probably be well-fitting jeans, nice flats and a finely knit sweater in the spring and summer and a tunic sweater worn with skinny trousers and equestrian style boots in the winter. At home, however I like to put on my lounge wear, but I think that good loungewear can look sufficiently presentable at home as long as your're otherwise well groomed.Nannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14693596999746198347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-86254818683087470262012-12-03T18:43:30.724-08:002012-12-03T18:43:30.724-08:00Hi Jennifer
