Daddy's little girl

Rarely am I intrigued by what I see someone wearing in an airport. Usually, I’m overrun by women wearing juicy sweatsuits – bored to tears!

Well, I was sitting in the Dallas Fort Worth Airport ‘people watching’ when a young girl glided past me. At first, I noticed her jeans. They were an acid wash/ tye dye mix. Normally, I would dismiss such a poor choice, but it was the way she wore them that kept my attention. The jeans were paired with a loose tank, fluid vest, Chanel necklace, gladiator sandals, and a cool black tote. Her outfit, and the way she carried herself created a character. She’s a bit a bad girl. Actually, she’s more dangerous than that… she’s a bad girl with money. You know, the girl who’s Daddy works too much and doesn’t have enough time for her. He merely throws her a black card, and thinks he’s done his part. She’s on her own most of the time, and she’s become very independent. She’s not likely to open up to many people, she expects they see dollar signs in her eyes. So, she’s a little rough around the edges hoping that may scare some off.

She was sitting in first class when I got on the plane. Our eyes met as I passed her. She had huge blue eyes that seemed weighted with sadness. I suddenly saw innocence, and youth in her stare. I felt badly for her. I wanted to wrap my arms around her, and shelter her. People think money makes everything better, but I bet she would give it all up to spend time with her dad everyday.

      Love the way you depicted the character based on the outfit!

      Like you, I really don't like acid wash & tie-dye, but the whole outfit is actually pretty cool!

      Sigh. After living in the Park Cities for years and being a teacher of teens, Daddy's Little Girl is a character I know all too well. So sad.

      But they look great, don't they?! Cold comfort, I know.

      You lived in the park cities? I'm moving to Dallas in August! We're going to be further north than the park cities.
      Cold comfort – yes!

      I did – 7 years! Now I live in Austin and am sartorially lazy beyond belief!

      Dallas has a lot to offer – I'm sure you'll love it! I think it's a great place to raise a family. My parents and sister are there and they really like the pace and the people.

      I live in Dallas/park cities area as well. Young girls here are VERY well dressed. Sometimes I feel like I need to step up what I wear so that I can even compare to the teens in my neighborhood. It is nuts.

      If you need names of dry cleaners, seamstresses, plumbers, good lunch spots, etc, feel free to email me. I would gladly help.
