Dressing the part

I feel like today is all about recovery. It was such a great weekend, but I need to take it easy today. Luckily, I’m good at resting. All I really need to do now is write. And put away clothes. And clean. And eat something. today‘s dress feels like a reminder of my old life. It’s a simple enough gray dress made by J. crew. I wore it on many job interviews and I got a lot of the jobs. I never understood dressing for an interview. I always liked wearing nice clothes, but I never owned a suit of any kind. I never understood the point of a suit, at least for me. I think it’s important to dress the part, wherever you go. If it’s fancy, you get fancy. When I worked on sets as a background actress, wardrobe was so important! It turned us actors into who we needed to be at that moment. It was powerful. the truth is I got fired from many jobs. They weren‘t a good fit and I wasn’t able to get the job done well. Often I was relieved. I hope I can find a job that fits me some day. it’s not where I am right now, but I think I’ll know when the time is right to put myself out there again. In the meantime, I’ll write about what I know and what I’ve experienced.
