The Very Babette Look  in Oil

Just yesterday, here in the Village,where Style and Fashion compete, the buzz was on about the newest Babette Look. There it was, displayed in the French Shoppe Window, the Outfit that is driving all the ladies into a frenzy. They Must have it, Miss Blue -  the most Scottish plaid shirt with ruffles at the throat and hanging down so gracefully to partly cover The Cut-on-the-Bias-Black skirt, with its tiny black lace trimming on the hem.  And there, on slightly posed feet, the real designer creation, White Gym Socks.  No Patent Leather Pumps of old, no sandals with more cutouts than soles, just white gym socks!

How does she do it, Miss Blue?  Babette knows her Fashion, and that is all that it is.  The competition between fashion and style will always be confusing to the fashion seekers no matter how shocking.   There is such a traffic holdup on our Main Street, with cars slowing down and honking horns in approval, with windows down - even in this hottest of weather -calling out their love for the Babette Look!  Well, I do wish you could be here to witness it all!

Love from Pearl,

Wearing the Babette Look
