Et Tu, Beauty?
09.02.34
Jennifer Burnley, owner of "J Chic," arrived at our front door one recent morning. It was a balmy spring day and she was wearing a beautiful green wrap-dress, high-heeled black boots and big gold-and-silver earrings.
She is tall, blonde and willowy. Her long hair falls past her shoulders. I saw her and wanted to look just like her. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. I'm short, have brown hair, and on that morning, I was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt from my older son's bar mitzvah.
I've never wanted to look like I'm trying too hard, but as the years have crept up on me, sometimes I look like I'm not trying at all. When I turned 45, I finally started taking my grandmother's advice: "Don't leave the house without lipstick, comb your hair, wear dangly earrings to draw attention to your eyes, buy comfortable shoes." That all worked fine for the daily grind, but I was hoping Jen could give me some pointers on how to occasionally look smokin' before I enter my dotage.
