I saw a woman on the subway today who was remarkable in more than one way. For starters, she was tall, but wearing square heels of at least 2.5″, and wearing a women’s suit that fit her perfectly. She had no coat on like everyone else – just a pair of leather gloves.
I assume she was going somewhere underground to somewhere else underground, or maybe she was Norwegian and scoffed at what we call cold in NY. I only saw her for a minute, and she had a large frame, and for a minute I wondered if my eye was different, or if she just was what she was so perfectly, so confidently, & so comfortably, that she made me feel quite proud of being strong, and not petite, and womanly, at once.
