Did I use "panache" correctly?

...With these traits and my panache way of life, I rarely get bored with myself.

It is possible—you can use any noun as an adjective if you don't mind sounding a bit strange sometimes—but it sounds a bit strange. I recommend against it in anything but deliberately self-conscious avant-garde writing. " Panache is a way of being.

I recommend against it in anything but deliberately self-conscious avant-garde writing. I'll bet you could just say "With these traits and my panache, I rarely get bored with myself." Panache is a way of being.

No, you need an adjective in that position and "panache" is a noun.

I do everything with panache. It keeps me from getting bored.
