Marcy, thanks for posting the photo and telling our story! I am just now getting a little online access time, before heading back to Seattle later today.
My side of the story: I'm in the Midwest visiting my parents, and my friend came in from the East Coast to visit with us, too. My friend and I were headed up the escalator at Nordstrom behind a woman with a riveting back view, stylishly dressed in this gorgeous Vince dress that I had seen before. . . . I said to my friend, "I love that dress." And I kind of kept eyeing the woman in the dress, trying to get a look at her, because she looked like the woman on whom I had seen the dress before--Parsley! From the side, she looked like she could be Parsley, but I thought her haircut looked a little different. I kept watching her. My friend said, "Boy, I guess you do like that dress, don't you?" I said, "I think I may know that woman." The sandals, the citron bag, . . . yes, it could be Parsley. But I thought she was in a
different Midwestern city. By now, we were on the escalator back down, following her to the shoe department, and I said, "Well, I'm just going to go up and ask her if she's Marcy. What harm is there? The worst she can say is No, and I'm sure she wouldn't be offended."
Not much time to visit, but it was so fun running into you, Marcy! Next visit, I will email and let you know I'm going to be in town!
Oh, and what I was wearing: black shorts (Lulu-B); silver linen tank (Eileen Fisher); black and gray print mesh knit cardi (made by me); cross body bag (Aimee Kestenberg); cream Birk-alike sandals (Haflinger, not shown).
