Fashion Plague

June 30, 2010

Every time I head to NYC (I am on the Acela as I type this), I fret over what to wear.  My summer tendancy to only wear white suits battles with the practical and painful lessons I’ve learned over years of day trips — sensible shoes, black pants, carry only one bag.  I stood half naked in my closet at 4:30 AM this morning for at least 10 minutes fretting over my (lack of) choices.

As such, in the last two months, a few things have made it clear how hopelessly safe I play it when it comes to fashion.  First, the Couture for a Cure Fashion Show, of which Microsoft was a sponsor, had me salavating.. Here’s a quick look at the evening with some colleagues and new friends taking part in the fun..

DKNY Couture for a Cure Show

And if there is anything that makes me want to go shopping, it’s a good Sex and the City episode — or in this case, movie.  My SIL Robin, over at BigRedKitchen, hosted a Girls Night and we actually went out to the movie (you have to understand how rare this is for me!)

I know most critics panned it (Time called it gaudy and shallow), but I’m not sure what exactly they were expecting.  It was gaudy… the palatial hotel, the 5 changes of clothing per scene.  It was mostly shallow  (e.g. Charlotte’s fretting over her ruined vintage Valentino white skirt), but isn’t a little mix of that really what we’re after in a chick flick.  At least I was.   At the moment in time.   And Big was there in all his glory (and so finely dressed, I might add), so I couldn’t have been happier!   For me, the movie was pure Eye Candy.

As far as my trip to NYC today.  What am I wearing?  The boring black “PR Girl” uniform/pant suit.   Alas….
