NOT worthy of reality TV...
I am fascinated by one of the gals I work with. Her life could not be more different than mine...but I really enjoy her point of view, honesty and creativity. She's been a personal assistant to a major country music star, a band member to several successful musicians, a make-up artist, a reality TV star, and has a permit for a concealed handgun.
I also like her because she compliments me EVERY DAY on what I'm wearing. Ha! She usually wears jeans and a t-shirt, or a JCrew blouse. She's a thin, pretty girl. She looks good in anything. She'll say to me, "You always look so nice. I have nice clothes, but I don't wear them to work." Goodness. Before I had a job, people asked if I had a job because I always looked so nice. Now that I have a job, I'm still getting questioned (and complimented) about why I look so nice. Ugh. I can't win.
When she arrived late for work today, everyone's jaws dropped to the floor. She was a knock-out! She had on a black leather jacket, black t-shirt, dark denim skinny jeans, and about 6 inch black stiletto pumps. Her makeup was perfect. Her hair was all Nashville. Turns out she is involved in another reality TV show that filmed a segment this morning. Reality TV is just as I suspected...it's nothing like reality. It's scripted and planned. And the "stars" aren't anything like they "really" are, including their wardrobe.
My goodness I couldn't be in a more different stage of life than her. When she gets home from work, she gets dressed up and heads out for the evening several times a week. Me? I get home from work and the day's activities and quickly change in to pajama pants or a robe. And I'm not even envious. I love being happy in the stage I'm in, and the life I lead. And that's definitely a Sweet Fringe Benefit of being 50 years. old.
Outfit of the Day: Banana Republic burgandy cardigan, Talbot's gold shimmer t-shirt, Mossimo distressed boyfriend jeans, Madewell green suede ankle boots, Twisted-silver necklace, cheetah print skinny belt. I totally shopped my closet this morning. The only thing new today are my boots. I jumped the gun a little wearing them today...but it was only 75 degrees and the air felt like Fall. All other pieces are anywhere from 2 to 6 years old. And I think the outfit ended up looking current and probably more trendy than a 50 year old should wear. But I'm enjoying these boots anyway. So here's a closeup of them...I'm still figuring out how to wear them. I rolled the jeans up just to skim the edges of the boots. I don't know if that's the official policy of ankle boots, but until I learn otherwise, that's how I'm wearing them.
I like my tame, boring life that is NOT worthy of a reality TV show...
