Totally Look The Part
This week I have two interviews that I am excited about. One is for a job in Sacramento, the other in Manhattan. I've been going back and forth in my mind moment by moment, second to second, as to which job I would take if offered both. And as of this morning, I don't think I have a clear answer. But a sweet little soul I used to babysit for ,who is now an even more beautiful young woman than I could have imagined, reminded me that an answer will present itself at just the right time...
So until then, I'm heading into each interview with confidence. Whenever I dress up for work or an interview and get to wear my blazer, I always think of Elle Woods on her first day of classes at Harvard. Elle Woods is one of my idols. I've always loved Legally Blonde, and Elle is a beautiful example of a woman who is both feminine and commanding. She believes in herself first and foremost, and finds happiness in her own accomplishments and within real relationships.
One of my bucket list items of things to accomplish before I am 35 is to have a job I can dress up for. And even though I am eight months in to a year of no clothes shopping, I still believe that clothes and fashion and sense of style greatly influences how we see ourselves, and how others see us.
Before she goes to tackle her first day of classes at Harvard, Elle looks in the mirror, double checking her outfit and says with such confidence and enthusiasm, "Totally look the part!"
