Dressing Room Runway

I was trying on some slacks when I met a mommy and her two daughters. The girls were probably 10 and 12years old. They were very bashful about trying on the outfits their mom picked out.

I started a conversation with mom and the girls as we waited for a room to open up. I asked mom if I could say something to her girls and she said, go ahead. I told the girls one way to make trying on their clothes fun, is by having a fashion show in the fitting room. They bowed their heads and giggled with slight discomfort.

A short time later, two fitting rooms opened up. I chose one and mom and one of the girls chose the other. After trying on my first pair of slacks, my hubby asked me to come out so he could see the fit. One of the little girls still hadn’t gone in to try on her clothes and so I made the fitting room area my own personal runway fashion show. The girl giggled so hard she could barely contain herself. When her mom and her sister came off of their fitting room, I continued doing my pretend runway show.

This little girl looked at her mom and said she’d like to try some of her clothes and off she went with her mom. If my entire existence aside from being a wife, mom and friend was to make this little girl’s day. Then, I would happily strut all over again, barefoot and all.

P.S. I forgot to mention, both girls has naturally big, beautiful, curly hair!
