Sometimes when throwing as many events as I do, the production process for launching just one event can be a blur. With all the meetings, emails, flyers, talent, invoices, budgets etc...you have to remind yourself which event you're actually working on...the last thing you want to do in the 1th hour is squander over what to wear. BUT OF COURSE...this is ALWAYS A SUBJECT matter that woman banter over event for event/date for date/dinner for dinner at the last minute.The reason I bring this up is because of course...this is exactly what happened on Saturday afternoon right before the event. Mentally I had made the decision 4 days prior to wear a pair cute high waisted pants I had purchased two weeks before. 30 minutes before departure, I finished my hair and makeup and put on my pants only discover they were wayyyyyy to long. DAMN!!!!!
So I then proceeded to go through my ten step thought process.
Top Eight Things that Run Through My Thoughts when choosing an Outfit.
1: "Shit...I just wore this last week...will someone notice?"
2: Can I get away with wearing the same outfit two nights in a row?"
3: Hmmmm...
4: "Do I look like a hooker?"
5: Fashion is also conditioned. Once you see the crazy drunk girl at a party wearing a dress you own, one may never want to wear that dress ever again. Dress=crazy drunk girl=no wear that dress.
6: "This dress could be cute with some jewelry"
7: "I think I could get away with wearing this outfit if the lights are dim."
8: Does it look like I'm trying too hard? What does that really mean anyways? Trying to look like you're not trying...it's alot of work people!
In conclusion, I saw the light. My scissors glistened from across the room. That's right...I cut my pants and made the adjustment. Yes they ended up unraveling throughout the day. Yes it was funny, and yes people noticed. On the flipside I think people thought the pants were supposed to be that way. LOL. Shooot, we pay more nowadays for wrinkled t-shirts and dirty looking jeans. Why not ad unhemmed pants into the same category? In the end, it all worked out fabulously:)
