Fashion Fail Or Nah? Check Out This Swagged Old Mama And What She Wore
I was walking with my colleague Sheila to the Laico Regency ahead of the Jumia phone mega-sale launch that had been slated for 9 today. Just before where the impeccably dressed security personnel subject you to a thorough scrutiny (as if they can see your sins) We chanced upon a grand old lady of about 80 years old or more…
The lady had probably been dropped off by her chauffeur at the hotel and gone to enjoy some cereal over Mozart or Beethoven.But something was oddly strange about her, she had on, a flower patterned dress, in her hand she bore a flask… a maroon flask (if you care about details, it had a black bottom) her face was complete in a rather lopsided pair of pince-nez- those odd russian spectacles that old people fancy..
Her feet however told a different story, her shoes did not match… One was yellow, while the other one was a shouting teal.
As she walked down the marble porch she stood for a moment and stared at her shoes, probably noticed that they were a different color and size. In that split second that I took the photo below, she contemplated walking back to the car and changing her shoes, but chose not to. It is never that serious.
What do you think? Fashion or Midlife crises?
