One of the 10 Steps of Marilu’s Total Health Makeover® is GUSTO. Living with gusto means maintaining a positive attitude, high energy, and zest for life. It’s about being confident in who you are, and sharing that with the world.

Marilu’s favorite example of living with gusto is “working the coat.” It comes from a visit with a friend, who showed Marilu a new coat she planned to wear on a date with a new guy. The friend modeled the coat in a lackluster way, which was not going to impress the guy at all. So Marilu showed her how to work the coat – making both the coat and the person wearing it look great.

We wanted to share this video we saw recently – Shirley Bassey knows how to work the coat – or dress, in this case – while singing this song. In this case, it’s very sexy (with a side of fun), but it doesn’t have to be - it’s really about the confidence of knowing who you are and what you’re capable of, and enjoying every minute of life.

Can you work your outfit today?
