I'm sitting in a bar in a college town. Feeling a little old and for some time now, not at all femme. That period still strikes me as surreal and seems to have receded into a collection of bittersweet musings.
In walks a girl with a quick engaging smile and what I think of as "Breck-Girl" hair.* She is meeting a covey of four girlfriends and apparently one boyfriend, though it isn't clear which he had the good fortune to pair with.
She had a smart, belted, plaid coat on, with the hem of her skirt about equidistant from her rather attractive knee to the bottom of the coat. Sandal wedges seemed to complete the fun and flirty collegiate look.
The friends each seemed to have an individual style that were all similarly well put together. For some reason though I thought if Barbara existed any longer she would likely dress like the girl in the coat that caught my eye.
I've wondered from time to time what to do with the blog. It is in storage like the six suitcases of what may well have been more of a shopping fix than a strong pull towards feminine expression.
Odd, that. Making that sort of analysis about a dormant feminine persona's taste and sense of style seems sort of Quixotic.
*Breck Girl ads featured a pretty wide variety of lengths and layering, but there was a bounce and a shine to it..In this girl's case thing a shorter, less fussy version of Jacqueline Smith's.
