fashion and people watching

(warning, this blog has no point whatsoever. i don't have time for soul-searching nowadays.)

every morning as she brings her daughter to school, i get a glimpse of what a woman who has it all looks like. she's tall, svelte, wealthy, pretty, and dresses well. (ok so maybe she has her own share of sorrows too, everyone does.) she's always in designer clothes, with bags and shoes the brands of which i know i will never be able to afford in my lifetime.

i don't know her name. her daughter goes to kindergarten, that's all i know. =) but i love to watch her, i love taking note of what she's wearing. it's like fashion watch only more pathetic. hahahaha!

anyway, today she had on a spectacular outfit. her dress was in the palest ivory, with delicate black floral print, a fitted bodice, sleeveless, softly-pleated skirt, with a black sash around her impossibly small waist. i love that she paired the dress with classic pumps in a perfect shade of nude. just like the ones the march issue of vogue says we should all be wearing because it elongates the heels.

i say, hurray for the return of the nude heel! i've always been a scaredy-cat when it comes to shoes. i opt for classic styles and colors, afraid to experiment (although some red and purple have been known to creep into my shoe cabinet once in a while). but this is a classic that i really missed. not that i need one. i just remembered how good they look when i saw the pair she was wearing today. shouldn't have given my old pair away. huhuhu.


* made a quick sketch of her outfit in my little notebook. sorry, i didn't have time to make it look nicer.
