As I sit here watching My Big fat American Gypsy Wedding, I'm beginning to wonder if we've over-saturated the reality TV market.  There are three show about pawn shops (Pawn Stars, Cajun Pawn Stars and Hardcore Pawn), two shows about hunting wild pigs (American Hoggers and Lady Hoggers), three shows about hoarding (Hoarders, Hoarding: Buried Alive, and Animal Hoarders), countless wedding shows and dating shows.  I'm astounded that there's an entire show about people bidding on abandoned storage units (Storage Wars) and that there is an upcoming show all about people bidding on abandoned baggage (Baggage Wars).  Don't even get me started on the industry of fraud that is ghost hunting shows.  I have to be honest....I watch more of these shows than is healthy.  I have been known to sit on the couch for hours crying over wedding shows and cringing over hoarders.  However, I worry that we are stretching the genre too thin.  This weekend I watched Deep Fried, a show about a food stand called Chicken Charile's at a county fair.  Ok, Chicken Charlie can deep fry pretty much any thing, but the biggest "drama" in the show was the LED sign shutting down.  It was painful to watch.  Let's face it, not every job is interesting.  There should not be cameras in my office watching me read cases and watch briefs.  Uh oh!  It's Friday and Tara's secretary left early...how will she ever make copies or send a letter?!?!?!  I do not want to watch people hot glue pipe cleaners to stuff (Craft Wars), but I will watch Randy of Say Yes to the Dress makeover brides on a bus (Randy to the Rescue).

What reality shows do you love?  Which do you hate or just don't understand?

I'm still going strong in Megan Mae and Casual Chic Kiki's This or That Challenge.  Just one more day left!

This or That Challenge: Solid Brights or Bold Print

Dress // Cynthia Rowley via Marshall's (similar here); Rainy Day Ballet Flats // J. Crew (worn here, similar here); Belt // Old Navy (worn here, similar here); Bracelet // Target (worn here, similar here); Scarf // Vera, Thrifted

This week I'm participating in the "This or That Summer Trends Fashion Challenge.  It's a pretty simple concept.  Each day you're given a choice of summer trends to try out...and then you pick one trend to wear.  Today: Solid Brights or Bold Print.

And in my true indecisive nature, I had to choose both.  I wore one of my favorite dresses with a long forgotten scarf I found tucked away in my closet.  When I was in college I went on a big Vera scarf kick and bought several in thrift stores and off Ebay.  And I grew out of that phase and forgot about my formerly beloved scarves.  Do you have any newly rediscovered fashion items?

And I'm trying out another new link up this week.
