I have been very lucky with my career path thus far. I had a successful (to me) boutique fashion PR firm and when I decided to close my doors this Spring and segue into Interior design I landed a plum position with an elite brand of furnishings. As you may know it hasn't been all a bed of roses. My boss is what I have coined a "perfectionadist' (yes--perfection + sadist). It's been a little rough as I am already hard enough on my self but to never be good enough in my bosses eyes is completely a different ego wrenching, mind boggling, spirit sapping story. I always try to focus on the brightside (try being the operative word) and today my brightside is here. I am invited to one of my idols homes for the launch of Domino's new book 'The Book of Decorating'. Yes, I will be going with my boss (as technically the invite was for him....) Who is this idol in question? Well none other than the doyenne of design herself Ms. Kelly Wearstler (Yes, I do hope gasping has ensued). My dilemma for the past couple weeks isn't how I will act in front of Ms. W. (I am sure at one point this evening I will be tripping over myself and causing quite the embarrassment to my establishment) BUT what am I going to wear? Mind you, this won't be just Kelly I will be in front of but Deborah Needleman the creator of Domino! I have a closet full of clothes and NOTHING to wear! AND the worse part is I don't get to go home to change (my boss doesn't understand this is not an option, I need to change).
So I figured how bad could I be? I am hoping Ms. W is dressed like this:
And is not looking like this...
Because after a 12 hour work day at the office I have a propensity to look like this:
But not as thin and my eye makeup is completely down my face (since it is a blood, sweat and tears fest daily). Why be so superficial? You know you would be too if you were in my situation, c'mon now...
