Diamonds and Pearls of Wisdom

Note to future self

Today, I got a glimpse of what I wanted to look like. I went to a local Ann Taylor to find an outfit to wear during the election results. Win or lose, I want to look like a polished, pulled-together, powerful woman.

Millicent, the world's greatest stylist and salesperson, put me through a variety of paces -- winter white, red, black, mauve, and gray. Most of it seemed pretty "meh" until I found this suit. I paired it with a shirt in a similar color and a gorgeous necklace.

Unfortunately, the whole outfit, including the shoes, would have cost about $500. So I bought the shirt and the necklace and decided to save to buy the suit. I also saved 20 percent off each piece as a result of the promotion they are running.

Clothes don't make the woman, but they sure do make me feel better.
