Poor thing, she tried so hard

I just saw the least nonchalant outfit I’ve seen in weeks. It screamed “intentional” all over the place.

A petite woman, she wore a vintage-inspired aqua green and white print short-sleeved blouse. The un-tucked blouse draped over a black below-the-knee a-line skirt, and, over the combo, a wide burgundy red leather belt cinched her waist. Matching, on her feet, she wore burgundy red stiletto slouch boots in which she wasn’t walking very well.

As she tottered away, slowly, her shoes flashed me: she forgot to take the white “Made in China” stickers off the soles of her boots.

Precarious image ruined. And I bet her feet were killing her.
