Those Wacky Fashion Shows
===========================
Before we speak about the current rash of so-called "fashion" shows currently the rage on the cable networks, let's talk a bit about the concept of style and fashion flair, Kaitlyn Mae.
An important notion, sweet granddaughter, and one of not so little import. For I do not care what the Bohemians might tell you, how you dress, fix your hair and general appearance IS very important, both in terms of how the world sees you and even how you see yourself.
Grandmother will offer some important concepts about appearance, Kaitlyn Mae, as generational knowledge hereby passed on.
-If you want a specific job, Kaitlyn, then always dress as if you already have that job. Suppose you are a dedicated computer input specialist but yearn for that corner office where the department manager sits. Begin your quest for that job by adopting the same manner of dress as the current occupant of that office. Sometimes you might look a bit out of place in the position you currently hold but right there you are one up for the job. In that, sweet child, you will already have the look.
-Kaitlyn, it never, ever, matters what size you wear. Please do not commit the female crime of stuffing your body into a smaller size than mindlessly bragging about your size twelve body you've managed to fit into a store size eight. It doesn't matter if one has a size eight on their frame if the result is as if a bratwurst were crammed into a hot dog roll. Wear properly fitting clothes is what Grandmother is saying here.
-Pay attention to accessories. Accessories can change an outfit from casual to dressy, can compliment the clothes being worn, and show a certain amount of thought with the choosing.
-Make up is your friend, Kaitlyn Mae, and I wish you would tell your mother this. Although your mother is very pretty without makeup and I know she has no small amount of pride in that fact. But a little shimmer eyeshadow, a roll across the lips with gloss, and a quick brush across the cheek apples with blush will bring that beauty out to a greater shine.
-Hair matters, Kaitlyn. Find yourself a good hairstylist and stick with her/him. Grandmother does not wish to stipulate that young Kaitlyn be a slave to fashion rages but do keep up with current trends. No matter how independent we'd like to be, go ahead and go to that dance with a teased up beehive 'do' and hear the giggles behind your back. Besides, it's good to change our hairstyles on occasion and why not use current style as a rudimentary template and add your own take on it?
