one of the challenges of my job is learning how to accessorize. i'm a minimalist in everything (attire, writing, people) except piles. i hoard everything and "organize" them into a multitude of piles and mini-piles categorized by owner of said pile, topic, urgentness, and amount of cat fur collected while becoming a pile. but i'm getting off-topic.
a broach here, a scarf (egad) there, somehow i need to dress up my dark pants and solid colored sweaters and make them seem like i actually put thought into what i put on in the morning as opposed to saying grey pants, plum sweater, black kitten heals w/pink accents, done. oh, and sometimes i match my underwear to my sweater, if i'm so inclined. but that's probably TMI. anway, i'm not into layering too much, maybe a cardigan or a blazer if it's chilly, and i don't like to feel bogged down or too overdone. so now i'm in this wierd limbo state where some people can get away with business casual and some can't. and i'm one of the ones who needs to look a tad bit older than i am, so i guess it's time to clutter on the beads, slather on some smelly lotion, and bejewel myself. or hire a personal shopper. or just get over this self-presumed image of what a fundraiser should dress like. or work from home and support the sweats-not-suits movement.
