Formal at home
This is one of my favourite formal combinations so I wanted to show more pictures than usual because I love the look so much. Today I am not working, however I have decided to have a "formal day" at home by myself. I do not have these types of days as often as I wish, but I enjoy them immensely when I do.
I will begin the morning with a hot relaxing shower before dressing myself. As you are surely aware by now I love the tuxedo look and I consider white bowties to be the most formal looking colour. I will take extra care while I dress to make sure every part of my outfit looks just right, paying special attention not to make a sloppy or uneven bowtie knot.
During my "formal at home" days, of course I must not neglect regular household activities such as daily chores or preparing meals, but I also like to find time to enjoy more elegant pursuits that seem fitting for my nice clothing.
Today I plan to catch up on some correspondence in the morning. I need to finish some overdue reports and writings I have been assigned, and I will also prepare a handwritten letter to my sister in France. It feels so nice to do these elegant activities in formal wear and gloves.
I like to enjoy more elegant activities during my formal at home days. Music is a such an enjoyment for me and I will often listen to my phonograph as I go about my daily activities dressed nicely. I think it is more fitting than digital music when wearing formal clothing. I also play both the guitar and the piano, and using an instrument is also a favourite activity of mine that seems very elegant.
I have heard it said before that dressing well is a means of showing respect, both for others and yourself. To this end I try to imagine how I would act and behave differently if I lived in a bygone era with more stringent standards for these activities. There is of course a side of me that is quite relaxed, when I visit with close friends for example and wear jeans and hoodies, but today I will focus on proper posture and the graceful and elegant movements of a lady as I go about my day. If someone calls on the phone I will speak respectfully in a more quiet, formal tone. When I dine, I set my table with proper place settings and candles. Practicing these elegant and ladylike activities are something I enjoy immensely.
I have been exploring this style for a few years now, and I have been growing much more comfortable in making it "mine." I like the way I look, and I like the way others look when dressed formally, but I also think it helps one with remembering to hold themselves to higher standards of poise and behaviour while they are dressed well.
I wish you a pleasant Sunday, and if you dress well today I hope you take a extra care to show a little higher standard than normal in your activities.
