Pixie Dust [afternoon sorority meeting]

[rilla_myrilla]

The girls had been handwavily notified to meet at Pixie Dust (with a handy map attachment included for anyone who might be too new to know where it was) for today's meeting. Because it would be bad to have a meeting and forget to tell people where

Re: Try on Dresses

Anna grabbed the first pair of shoes she came across in her size, a pair of plain black flats, and tentatively slipped them on. The fit seemed okay, and she was definitely feeling the shoes, not the floor, under her feet. She wiggled her toes, and she could see the fabric move instead of her toes poking through it. They felt strange, after nearly sixty years without shoes, but she was sure she'd get used to it.

She took a few tentative steps without any disaster, and then walked around the store with them on until she stopped thinking about them so much. When she stopped and looked down, they were still on. "Okay," she said, relieved, and again to no one in particular. She'd spent a lot of time alone, okay? "Okay, I think this is going to work...except these are boring." So she took them off, went back to the shoe display to put them back on the shelf, and started looking for something more to her taste.

She found, in the clearance section and marked with prices even her 1958 sensibilities could stomach, not one but three pairs she liked.

"I think I need a second opinion," she muttered.

"That depends," Rebecca said, surveying the options. "Are you going for vintage as a look, or are you actually from a time when that would've been the style?"

"I-I just like these," Anna said. "Can't that be enough? I'm from now."

She'd just been locked in a house alone since a time when that would have been the style, but she wasn't about to tell Rebecca that.

"Well, I would say ditch them all and get heels," Rebecca said in her usual tactless manner, "but I'm sort of liking the red. I mean, in a whole backwoods, Goldilocks-wandering-through-the-forest sort of way."

Thanks, Rebecca. Truly.

Re: Try on Dresses

"Um, thanks," Anna said, a little taken aback, "but heels aren't really appropriate for everyday wear, don't you think?" Look, she was currently not wearing shoes, Rebecca. Baby steps.

"'Course they are!" Rebecca scoffed, modeling her own shoes. "Plus, way comfier than flats, hello."

Funny thing? This was Rebecca helping.

"Don't you mean the other way around?" Anna asked, confused.

Re: Try on Dresses

[zetabetabrat]

"No," Rebecca assured her. "Flats can get seriously uncomfortable, and if you get the right heels, they're way better and guys are more likely to want to make out with you!"

Re: Try on Dresses

[dressedinblood]

That didn't make any sense. "But can't heels get really uncomfortable, too? And I don't want anyone to make out with me!"

Re: Try on Dresses

[zetabetabrat]

"Well, if you get bad ones, sure," Rebecca dismissed, "but that's easy, just try them on and make sure you can walk before you buy them!"

She wasn't going to touch that second part, because clearly Anna was mistaken.

"That's what I'm doing with these," Anna pointed out, hefting her boxes a little.

Re: Try on Dresses

[zetabetabrat]

"You could do it for heels too," Rebecca pointed out. She was pushy, okay?

Re: Try on Dresses

[dressedinblood]

"I don't want heels," Anna said, getting a little fed up and a little scary at the same time.
