Fashion

Okay, it's true in the fifth and sixth grade I tight rolled my pants, sported two different colored socks on each foot, and ratted my bangs to enormous heights. However, I had thought my extreme fashion days were over, but apparently thanks to my brace they are not.
One Sunday after church, I ran to a dinner wearing a long gray skirt and black shoes. I thought that this would help camouflage that fabulous brace of mine. It seemed to blend nicely. I guess it blended a little too nicely. I walked into the dinner and a friend said, "Oh, how is your foot?" I smiled and kicked up my leg."It's doing well, I just have the brace now." That's when she said, "Oh my goodness, I didn't even know you were wearing a brace. I just thought you were wearing a boot and a shoe." I would like to add here that she was serious. I'm mean it, she thought I was wearing a dress boot and shoe. Which leads me to ask, how many people do you know who wear one boot and a shoe to a dinner? Is that a new style? And further more, do I look like the type of person who would wear a boot and a shoe out in public or for that matter at home? The rest of the night I was paranoid that everyone was looking at my boot and shoe combo. And so, after that I nixed the blending and tried to make it obvious that I was wearing a brace. Which looked like a big, black brace and a stretched out brown shoe with every fashion ensemble. I just can't seem to win. Therefore, I've decided to just wear what I wear, and if it helps give people a little enjoyment talking about my new fashion statement, then that is the small part of joy I will give to others.
