The re-run wasteland that is May-September provides an excellent excuse to become (casually) addicted to really really bad summer reality television. Whether they're dancing, modeling, singing or just looking for love the crazy characters of reality tv provide enough drama to get me through those long summer nights.
This year's resident Bachelorette is Vancouver native and Bachelor reject (ouch) Jillian Harris. Dubbed by CityTV as "Canada's Sweetheart" (not to be confused with this obscure CBC docudrama from 1985) Jillian is faced with the incredibly difficult task of making out with lots of different suitors while working on her tan and jet-setting around the world. And while the men have been rather dull (with the exception of Wes the evil country singing cowboy and Tanner the awkward foot festish guy) it's been Jillian's wardrobe that has kept me tuning in for two hours every monday night (yes i need to get a life).
I've been coveting (and copying) Jillian's cute and casual clothing throughout the series. From her many TNA hoodies, silky wilfred tops and variety of plaid ensembles its no secret that she's a fan of can-con in her wardrobe. Also not so secret...the tons of free swag she was given by Aritzia before going on the show. And while we might not all be lucky enough to have wardobe makeover funded by ABC, at least many of her clothing options are affordable and accessible (ie: Aritzia, XXI and French Connection) for us non reality tv stars.
And so, even if you're not a fan of scripted reality showmance Jillian's wardrobe might be enough of a reason to tune in to the Bachelorette this season. If you don't have time to stalk her style these helpful blogs here and here have tracked down many items already...which makes me feel a lot less creepy about obessing over her outfits.
