While watching The Mistress of Spices the other night (a wonderful film based on the book by Chitra Banerjee Divalarun), I reflected on the heroine who is trained in the mystical art of using spices to help people solve their personal problems. While watching, I kept thinking, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to do this?”
And then I thought, but wait, I do something similar, with the clothes that pass through my shop. I thought of those whom I help to find the perfect outfit, and how perfect these moments are:
- The woman attending a 50’s party who finds a great retro top, shoes, earrings, and a glorious rhinestone pin. She had the makings for a perfect outfit, and was thrilled when she left, having spent under $20 for said outfit.
- Another woman attending a New Year’s Eve party, whose go-to color was black. She left with a pair of pants the color of polished pewter, and a soft pink angora sweater. She later reported on receiving record number of compliments on this outfit.
- A young girl going to prom on a strict budget found a striking aqua and black polka dot number with a crisp crinoline. She was thrilled and later showed us photos of her triumphal prom entry.
