Real life runway

After watching countless Sex and the City marathons, alone... in my bedroom... with my dog (I'm not a cat person)... I came to a sudden realisation of what I wanted to do with my life. My previous dreams of being part of the Power Ranger gang, hanging out with Alpha 5, and beating up badies quickly vanished in light of my new passion. I wanted to be a strong, career focused woman whom was able to afford the finer luxuries of life. Like really, an apartment in New York, expensive lunches, dinners, drinks as well as amazing designer outfits every week all on a freelance writer budget? Yes Carrie Bradshaw, you have given not just me but every person out there unrealistic dreams.

Except sometimes dreams do come true (Queue cheesy inspirational music)

At MBFWA, I wrote about how Nicole Warne from Gary Pepper Vintage was lucky enough to open Talulahs show. Likewise in Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw also opens a fashion show but somehow trips, falls and becomes fashion road kill. And yet, in that moment of helplessness she is still able to give relevant information to the teens of today. "When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking". Oh Carrie, what would we do without your insightful information about 'real people'.

Even though I haven't really fallen down in life, I did want to strut my stuff down a runway. So in light of this new discovery I knew there had to be change. One of the changes had to be, well getting a job. There ain't no runway without a job. 

So how do you change your perception of a rapscallion teenager to a respectable unemployed bum person. With a makeover change that would rival any teen movie. (Don't worry guys it wasn't surgical)

Salvatore Ferragamo Tie

This is my go-to outfit for looking all important and meeting other such important people like future employers, girlfriends parents or the check out chick when I want to buy milk at the corner store. I mean its basically flawless. Except I do think I'm wearing every single colour known to man. And that's going to cause a problem when I upload this on Lookbook and I can only choose five options for the colour palette. Decisions decisions decisions.

Oh! And this tie! It has turkeys on them. Can it get any better than that?
