So yes: I frivolous dress order the meal.
Last Tuesday, I walked into a restaurant wearing a dress that had no business making decisions. It was sage green, backless, with a skirt that started its sentence somewhere around my ribs and finished with a whisper just above the knee. A frivolous dress. The kind you buy after one glass of Sancerre, thinking, When? and the dress answers, Tonight. -I frivolous dress order the meal-
That night, we ate like gods. The dress ordered the duck fat potatoes. The dress demanded the chocolate soufflé at 10:47 PM, long after dessert was “closed.” The dress paid—well, I paid, but the dress took the credit, waving a black card like a tiny surrender flag. So yes: I frivolous dress order the meal
Let me explain.
The man across from me closed his menu. He looked at the dress. He looked at me inside the dress. And then he did something remarkable: he laughed. “Apparently, we are.” A frivolous dress
There is a forgotten verb tense in the language of women: the frivolous imperative. It lives not in textbooks but in the soft slide of silk over a clavicle, the decisive click of a heel, the way a sleeve falls just so when you point at a wine list.
