This Yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of Hummer H2 or Lexus GX470.  Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Workaholic Ken and Soccer Playing Skipper.  Dog walker & housekeeper coming soon.

I'm sure some of you have seen versions of this mock Barbie & others floating around the internet.  Well, this is my life, or embarrassingly enough, the life I have chosen to rejoin.  Don't get me wrong, I am not judging the life, but I am mocking myself to a degree because I don't know where to begin.  I need to learn how to fit myself back into this world that I so happily left years and years ago.  And I need to learn fast!!  HELP!!

Background: I went through a second round of my early 20's when my daughter was still a toddler and I was going through a divorce.  All my nice, conservative, Banker's Wife clothes disappeared piece by piece and you just don't want to know what came out of the closet (no, not me, but I do have good stories I would never tell). 

It's hard to imagine that I work at one of the nation's largest financial institutions and can get away with showing up wearing a clingy black turtleneck, teeny plaid miniskirt & Mary Janes.  (I'm not actually going to give that outfit up and you can't make me.)  I own a large collection of babydoll t-shirts with smartass sayings on them like "Does Not Play Well With Others" and "Let go of my ears, I know what I'm doing".  I still prefer shopping in the Juniors section.  (The stuff is cuter!!)  And yes, I wore Hello Kitty PJ pants out in public last summer.  (You can wince, go ahead.)

So, this is why I'm here.  I think it's called a Fashion Intervention.

Mission:I have a pair of dear friends who are true fashionistas and who happen to live in the most fabulous city in the world.  I asked them to visit My It Things Lounge so they can help me re-grow up again & look like the woman who should own the luxury SUV, not the teenager who is borrowing her mom's luxury SUV.

Any other willing volunteers are gladly welcomed.  Please keep an eye on me & let me know how I'm doing.  And for the love of all that is good and decent in the world, please reassure me that it will be fun dressing like a grown-up.  I'm really going to miss those Chococat flip flops.
