WHAT to wear...

A green suede coat, apparently...laughing in the face of Seattle's weather.

After years of working at home, I'm not quite the fashionista I used to be. Combining that with the rain that never stops, I have some difficulty finding an excuse to wear a lot of my clothes.

Unless, of course, I haven't done laundry...then all bets are off.

So naturally, I had just a little bit of trepidation over the thought of meeting someone who trashes people's wardrobes for a living.

I had absolutely nothing to worry about; Clinton Kelly (of TLC's What Not to Wear fame) himself told me I looked fantastic in the coat. I must say that I agree with him. Having heard the words of...I hesitate to say constructive...criticism he imparted to more than one woman today, I am downright giddy.

Just my little brush with fame for today. :-)

Update: I completely failed to mention that my sweet and wonderful Sam went with me to this fashion show/book signing. Kind of like the time Hilary Swank forgot to mention her husband when she won an Oscar. But not really.

Sam stayed with me the entire time at this very estrogen-heavy event, even helping to claim good seats by getting there 90 minutes early. And yes, I am so very lucky to have a man who will suffer like that for me. I think I'll keep him around.
