Have you ever wanted to be on What Not to Wear? I have! (Wanted to be, that is…) Last Saturday was even better, though, because I didn’t have to throw anything out. Ashlie from the CW‘s Stylista, and I went shopping.
These are my new mantras:
“40 is the new 30.”
“Mourning period’s over. Let’s get with it.”
Ashlie’s definitely in her element in New York. What is she saying about a red dress? Pawn-Ti? Is that a native American tribe? Or maybe it was Pontille, in French… I have no idea.
She kept talking about textured tights. Textured tights, people. Make sure you stock up for winter. Textured tights are apparently exceedingly useful things. I asked her to show me what she meant, but then got hungry before we made it to hosiery. I had to stop for snacks.
That striped skirt in the clip? She totally did the magazine shoot styling thing on it — pulling it and folding, making it shorter, etc. You should’ve seen her cinching everything up in belts (I never would have thought of that.). Note to self: Need more belts.
Thank you, Ashlie, for our girls day out. I know you were in a hurry – next time I’ll buy lunch or dinner, ok?
