Purple Kisses

Purple Kisses

Yesterday was a good day. I put something cute together quickly and was able to get out of the apartment on time. The sun was shining and my hands didn’t immediately get ashy the minute I walked out of the door because it was so cold. I pulled my gloves on anyway, feeling like a lady. Charging along to work, my heels clacking on the pavement.

Further proof this was going to be my day? The M79 bus was waiting for me when I got to the stop. And, I get a seat. I’m really feeling myself now. I reach in my bag and pull out my new Maybelline Color Whisper by Color Sensational lipstick in A Plum Prospect. A glossy purple that matches my gloves. I apply it before getting off at the Lexington stop and heading into the 6 train.

No joke, the most beautiful brown man is getting off the train and walking up the stairs as I’m coming down them. He’s wearing a suit and has on a peacoat. Have you ever seen a man not look amazing in a peacoat? He’s carrying dry cleaning. Has good thick brows (I’m weird about men and eyebrows, are you?). Sounds like I got a good look, right? That’s exactly why this happened: just as I was about to smile and say hi, I almost tripped down the stairs. In front of said brown man.

Knocked the cool all the way out of my walk. I kept my head down and just about ran down the stairs and stood on the train platform and waited for my train. The one time, I feel like I look presentable heading into the train station, wearing lipstick, looking like I mean business, I trip.

But at least my lipstick looked nice, right? I should have smiled anyway.

    You should have fallen completely down the stairs, damsel-in-distress style… and let Mr. Peacoat help you to your feet 😉

    Your story is very funny, you definitely should have smiled anyway. Your fall could have literally broken the ice.  And again, those gloves are fabulous and the lipstick to match? WORK. I also love your coat, where is it from?
