Ineke and I met in line at the cinema. She was marking her anniversary by going to the movies--without her husband. "Well I am seeing a romantic comedy," she said, sounding a tad defensive. Her outfit was pulled together from a variety of sources--olive green Ferragamo loafers, jacket from Stein Mart, jeans and cap from Gap.
I wondered what had inspired her to pin on the star, made of lacquered paper. "The pin was a gift from a friend, years ago. I got the idea for putting it on my hat from a photo I saw on
The Sartorialist," she said.
A few more amusing details....appliqued scarf, "found at a little shop in Paris, in the Marais"...black suede fringed gloves, "from J. Crew, circa 1990"...and the bag? "TJ Maxx."
