She's not the country club type. Not one bit. But. Her nouveau riche sister? Now, that is a different story. So. This Sunday, after church, she's going to tag along with her sister and her brother-in-law to brunch among the privileged set. Brunch only, though. No golf. No tennis. No bridge. After she's chewed the last morsel, she's going to make like a cheerleader and split. For the movies.
And she's going to wear Vogue American Designer 2456. By Ralph Lauren. The epitome of country club chic, no? She made it up in the spring: White linen shorts. Tan linen jacket. A lilac tee. And she'll lace up those nifty Seychelles Private Eye oxfords, too. She's going to channel Daisy Buchanan. Perhaps she'll meet her Nick.

Do you know how long I have stared at those shoes on zappos???? They make my heart hurt a little.

I've spent quite a few hours longing for them myself. Why can't they make narrows? Why?
