Street fashion here in Tribeca, of late, has been hard to come by. It has been cold and dreary most days, and I have noticed that people have started to schlump a little bit-myself included. You can only look at your pretty summer dresses and blouses hanging in your closet while you wear your same, sad long sleeve number for so long without feeling a bit blue.
Yesterday, we visited our local park, and because there was so much to do in order to get out the door before it began pouring again, I forgot to put on my son’s shoes. He was thrilled. He doesn’t much like wearing shoes. Plus, he had on his Pirate Socks, brought back from Tokyo especially for him and wanted to show those off.
“Yo ho ho!”
As for my daughter, she and her friend L couldn’t be bothered to stop and chat about fashion. I tried and was given a rapid fire response having nothing (though maybe…?) to do with fashion:
L: I. We can’t. We have to…
M: We have to go quick to find the diamond! The precious, precious diamond in the forest.
L: Yes the diamond to give to S! We want him to marry us, and we need the diamond. [S is L’s twin brother, who was off at this moment playing Spiderman with his guy friend, completely unaware of his two valiant fiancees.]
M: Gotta Go, Mama! We have to search deep, deep into the seeeeeeeeeee-cret forest.
L: There might be a dragon!
And off the princesses ran into the seeeeeeeee-cret forest to meet their Fate.
The last picture is of a fairy we met about a month ago in Central Park when the weather was still nice.
Sweet Fairy, along with helping L+M find the precious, precious diamond and helping me remember to actually put shoes on my son’s feet from time to time, could you please bringa little sunshine and warmth to our little Corner?”
