One is short, but wears tall grey suede heels that seem to be falling off her feet. Those feet are the start of long bare legs beneath a charcoal grey miniskirt. Arms covered by a light black slouchy cardigan are crossed in front of a purple tank top. A pouty, almost surly face is framed by long, thick disheveled dark blond hair.

The other is tall, with short heels on her long, bright shiny purple wellington boots. Baggy, ill-fitting dark jeans are stuffed into those boots, and they puff out a bit where the flared jeans just wouldn’t fit into the narrow boots. An apple green waterproof-breathable raincoat covers a burgundy wool cardigan (hand-knit, and a completely different shade of purple than the boots), and the hands that extend out of those burgundy and green sleeves are holding onto a large, white plastic bag filled with 11 skeins of discount yarn. A long, black scarf keeps out the December chill, and a burgundy hat with a honeycomb pattern matches the cardigan (but not the boots) and comes down just a little too low over her forehead.

Each woman looks at the other and thinks to herself, “OMG, what on earth is she wearing??”
