This was from the end of 2007 if I remember correctly, in the lobby of my apartment building (location is always important to mention! You have to be able to picture my outfit in its entirety—the environment helps to set the mood and tone).
At the time I had just inherited a couple pairs of dress shoes my father wore in the 80s and you know I had to outfit accordingly! Can’t let the family name down! My grandma would always talk about how fashionable and gallant my grandpa was, and how he would be the one to make sure she was with or ahead of the trends by dressing her in couture or hemming her pants or tapering them or whatever else his keen sense of style felt appropriate.
And since my dad’s the stylish brother in a family of six, it was natural that I was born with fashionable genes, no? Right.
Hopefully we can agree on this; again I wouldn’t want to let my family down!
