About a week ago, Lisa and Shayne and I hung out at Ooh La Latte -- very fun afternoon -- and on the way home I stopped at Whole Foods to get something for dinner.
The guy at the meat counter asked me, "Have you ever been to Ooh La Latte?" A bit taken aback, I replied that I had just been there. He pointed to my dress (a thrift store find) and said "How did I know?"
I told him that I hadn't bought that dress at Untidy Museum (the clothing store connected to Ooh La Latte) and he said that he just liked that whole retro thing, pointing to my hair which was done up all mod.
Fast forward to today. I had a lot to do this morning and didn't have time to style my hair and dress up. So I just wore jeans and a T-shirt, and let my hair do its own thing. Not my most stylish, actually pretty grungy, but who cares? It's not like anyone is paying attention, right? Had my HKB meeting, went to my show, stopped at the supermarket on the way home. The same guy was at the meat counter, and when he saw me he said "Shockingly modern!"
Which just goes to show that, if you ever think no one's paying attention to the way you look, you're wrong.
