So this morning I’m walking on Lausen and I see a woman standing outside the Littlefield Center. She was really striking. First thing, her clothes. She was wearing a gorgeous patchwork leather skirt, brown, white and black honeycomb pattern. She had on a pair of brown wool tights and brown boots which she was really rocking these even tho’ it was only 9 am and already 80 degrees out. But the most amazing thing was her hair, which was a glorious mop of russet curls that would put King Charles II to shame. As I passed her, I was really glad that I had made a tiny effort and put on earrings that morning.
There was another woman behind her and as she passed I heard the tail end of a comment she made to the first woman which ended in “is lovely”. I turned and chimed in
Me: “Yes, your hair is lovely”, then to the second woman, “Did you say her hair was lovely?”
Second woman: “No, I said her style was lovely.”
Me (to first woman): “Oh yes, everything about you is lovely. But your hair is really lovely”. Then (to second woman): “You look lovely too” (because she did)
Second woman: “Thank you – so do you”
Me: “Thank you”
And I walked to work very happy.
