another addition to the wardrobe

Finally succumbed and got the evening gown. It's probably not blingy or fancy enough. I just can't wear something that is not me at its essence. Which translates, no nonsense and straightforward. This is probably a time when it would be good if I were more whimsical and fanciful but no can do.   I got it on sale on line. Seemed like a good deal.  Not at all sure what I will do about my hair or make up for this level of wardrobe challenge.  Accessories are also a bit of a problem.  May need to get some costume jewelry to go with it and maybe some long gloves.  I can always wear the mink cape that my sis-in-law gave me for Fall and Winter shoots.  May need to get a light fancy shawl for the Spring and Summer shoots. That's kind of the problem with such a wardrobe item, you buy the main piece but then there is all the accouterments that need to go with it--$ka chung$, $ka chung$, $ka chung$. I guess it's rare these days to hear an actual cash register any more since we all pay with credit cards, but that was supposed to be what you were to hear.  Bob will take pics of me in it this weekend so I can enter it on my Casting Networks profile. I described it to another Extra and shared my concern that it wasn't blingy enough. She was very blunt and said my gown was probably fine for me because the reality is that casting only wants very young, tall, thin, blond women in blingy evening gowns and I was not that, so I could stop worrying about it.  I appreciated that jujitsu slash to my worrying.  It is what it is.  It has a nice neckline, it's a good color on me, and just a touch of bling.  We will see how well it goes over with casting as I start submitting for these roles. Shoes remain a bit of a problem--got to start combing the thrift stores. I have some that will work in a pinch and happen to be comfortable but the color doesn't exactly match.  I'm hoping that this will be the last investment in wardrobe that I need to make for a while.
