We Should All Start The Day Looking Pressed and Pretty

 

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of agents in my office wearing shorts and sandals and T-shirts.  It is summertime, but that doesn’t mean we should let our professional appearance slip through the cracks.  You never know who you are going to run into along the way. 

 

As Realtors, we have more flexibility than many, but we should always put our best foot forward when we are out in the business world. 

 

I recently took this picture of a beautiful poppy which bloomed out with wrinkled pedals.  I know the flower is probably wondering if the sunshine will make the wrinkles fall out. 

 

It doesn’t take much time and effort to look our best everyday.  Dress for success and you will be successful!  The whole attitude about business changes when you put your best foot forward.

Good point, even though I work from home most days I know I'm more productive when I get dressed than when I sit in front of my computer in my jammies.

Strong points and I agree when in the public view dress the part.

You never know when the next client is standing in front of you.

Make yourself a great day.

Hi Belinda -- another great example of "perception equals reality".

Hello Belinda,  I guess the guy across the hall needs to dress up more, he was just telling me yesterday, he has gone 2 weeks with just wearing shorts to the office but had a closing on Tues and needed to wear pants.

This is a hard balance for me. When I am out and about in the business world, I think I dress very well. However, when it is a weekend for just the family, I will be at Lowes in my sweat shorts and T with hair pulled in bun and it always happens- what do you do for a living? Argh. And when i do dress up on my time off...Nothing, lol! But, yes...in the professional environment we should always look our best...and even if the non-professional world in my case!

When we are working , we should definitely be dressed like we are.  Even if it's business casual, something a notch up from casual.

Belinda, It is sad to me to see the agents in general dress down so much you can't find the professional looking person in the room. I agree with what you have said but fear it is landing on deaf ears.

Dressing appropriately means something different to everyone but I do agree with you Belinda. When a person dresses up, the results are positive and it also may improve people's moods!

I agree that when you are out and about you should look professional; at home, I like the freedom of casual dress.

Good point, nicely made Belinda! It's a challenge to choose clothes to fit the profession, but that we can actually work in, too-wander around yards in the heat, walk through damp and humid basements, etc. Tailored black tshirts and khaki capris seem to be an effective summer uniform for me this year.
