Lorie helped me pass the time as we waited for tables at The Gourmet Shop. Since the place was incredibly busy and our wait rather long, I drew out my notebook, and she accounted for every element of her ensemble:
- Jeans -- Miss Me; "You can find them on line for $90 - $110, which as you know is pretty good for jeans these days," she said.
- Jacket -- Sigrid Olsen
- Scarf -- "some yarn shop in Blue Hill, Maine"
- Boots — Pella Shoes in Atlanta
- Tank Top -- Target; "$9 -- you gotta love it."
- Bag -- Caterina Lucchi
- Sunglasses -- Ray Ban tortoise shell
While we were chatting, some newcomers scooped up the very table for which she'd been waiting. Lorie protested....
...to no avail. The nimbler party appeared to enjoy their lunch with nary a crumb of remorse.
And I recalled the words of the elegant Diane Sawyer: there is no substitute for paying attention.
