A Writer's Wardrobe

As the dates of my big book events approached this summer, I realized I had nothing to wear. It had officially been more than eight months since I left my day job to work from home and all of my professional clothes were long gone. 



In fact, these days to dress up, I wear my bling jeans, maybe a sparkly tee instead of a plain one. After all, the fanciest place I go these days is to get my hair done. Or to get my dog's hair done.



For these events, I'd have to trade in the yoga pants for dresses. That meant a trip to Kohl's.



Somehow I ended up with four dresses for all my events. I realized different people would be at each event, though, so I could wear them more than once. But to justify the purchase, I've also been wearing sundresses to the mall and out to dinner all summer.

Now that the summer is coming to a close, I'm realizing I'll have to invest in a winter event wardrobe. In the winter you can get away with a nice sweater and pants, though. Or a light jacket and your summer clothes if you're young.



What's your wardrobe like? Are you prepared for a fancy event?
