My new job has landed me in Deerfield, IL. It’s an affluent suburb about 25 miles north of Chicago and has one of the best school systems in the state.
Unlike every other person in Deerfield, I don’t have kids, I don’t have a husband, to be honest, I don’t even have a boyfriend right now.
The attire for women in Deerfield is pretty simple, lululemon and a gigantic rock. We’re talking a bunch of karats, a whole lot of shine and some major height, that lifts the actual diamond off the finger and into your face.
My mom always told me that a lot of women get an upgrade around their 40th birthdays, at least that’s what she did but I’m not sure that’s the case in Deerfield. I think these North Shore guys are throwing down some big bucks right out of the gate.
Then there’s me and my little old ringless finger. I sometimes look at it and wonder what a ring that size would look like on it… pretty freaking good of course.
hilarious - love it, natalie, & hope that all is well in the land of the big rocks!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's also a HUGE different between "big" rocks vs. "big and high quality" rocks.
