This high school instructor who's been my nearby neighbor for quite some time, makes me feel small. Not that this lady has done anything to offend me, but, I simply get this stressful feeling at the pit of my stomach each time I notice her. Despite being the solitary mother of three young and playful kids - I have to admit that she has performed her responsibilities excellently. Not only is her household clean, but her children are obedient and she also has a full time profession. There's no point of her life that she fails to manage flawlessly.

This high school instructor who's been my nearby neighbor for quite some time, makes me feel small. Not that this lady has done anything to offend me, but, I simply get this stressful feeling at the pit of my stomach each time I notice her. Despite being the solitary mother of three young and playful kids - I have to admit that she has performed her responsibilities excellently. Not only is her household clean, but her children are obedient and she also has a full time profession. There's no point of her life that she fails to manage flawlessly.

On the other hand, I 'm a great wreck. Despite making an effort with everything, I cannot even attempt to turn into half of what she is. I envy the woman once I watch her all dressed for school. Every morning, I look at my windows to check how she would be dressed for the day. And in a way, she always surprises me. Every day she manages to appear a lot better than the day before. Her clothing, her footwear, her hair, her make-up, her hand bag - every thing is really coordinated and well orchestrated. It makes me marvel how she can afford to be so perfect in almost everything she does. In addition, I ask myself where she obtains all that money for her designer dresses, bags and footwear, with her being a single mother to 3 kids. There is actually an occasion when I thought that I ought to hire detectives to uncover if she is on to something fishy.

The fashion accessories she wear usually makes me green with envy. She usually knows the latest in fashion. She would know the trends of the season and just how to carry them. She is great in recognizing which outfits and fashion accessories would make her appear her best. I attempted to copy her but only got people looking at me like I were insane.

I tried buying the stuff she owns, specifically her large selection of designer hand bags which she flashes sometimes. I am quite positive that she seldom repeats a bag particularly if she's already used it. I'm totally unaware on how she may even pay for all her pouches, because the one I bought for me, personally cost me a lot. Yet, regardless of all my best attempts, I still appear nothing like her. I need to cut down on my spending simply to fill up the financial void that the hand bag brought on me. Eventually, I came to the realization that the best thing to do would have been to talk to her. I ultimately got the nerve to ask her on how she really does it.

Knocking on her front door had been the best thing that i ever did. She welcomed me with a smile and agreed to talk about her secret. Time management, self-discipline and pre-emptive approach to every thing are the trade secrets. However, my curiosity was eventually satisfied when she explained that almost all of her stuff are imitation products. That is why she has an countless variety of duplicate bags, designer shoes, and jewelry that sparkles as if it were real.

Finally, I now knew the answers to all my thoughts. I was eventually at peace with the thought that all the elegance and style that she has is only a manifestation of flawlessness, but was not really real.
