Most Likely to Turn HeadsThe headline read, "The first wave of shoppers is home, or sleeping, or dead in various corners of the mall."
But she didn't have to fuss with all of that. She has prepared for this her whole life. Her wardrobe was simple, but stacked. Seasonally, she wore the same luxury loafers for most days of the work week, adorned with intricate beetles. They were interesting but still classic (she means business and it shows). She doesn't look or act like an ordinary witch, because she isn't one. Her magic wasn't the quintessential kind you'd come to think of. Hers was sharper and smoother. Handmade by a tailor. Sure, she slummed it at Target like the rest of us from time to time but she preferred Nordstrom's and wore all the right clothes in all the right ways. She was self depreciating but in a way that carries the room she's in forward. Ahead of her time. It started with the shoes, but she wears them so well they could be anything. There are also snakeskin boots worth mentioning if we are going to carry on about the shoes, but that's not even the half of it. People find themselves drawn to her and on top of that, she actually knows how to get shit done. Give her a prompt and a mic and without even trying, she will deem herself unforgettable (and you won't ever forget her). She's funnier than you and just her being funnier than you around you will remind you of that. She also won't realize just how brilliant she is in the moment. You'll have to remind her of that. I'm still not convinced they don't have an esoteric mind of their own, but I'd follow those loafers wherever she'd go.
