An evening gown for coffee?

Ladies, who says a cup of coffee has to be a casual experience? Maybe you think flip flops and shorts are the proper attire for an afternoon cup of joe or smoothie. Nay I say! If you've got a perfectly good ball gown hanging pressed in the closet and you happen to be thirsty...well...you know what to do!

Living in Los Angeles certainly provides me with plenty of interesting sights and this was no exception. It's a bright, sunny southern California Saturday afternoon and a tall, elegant young woman with model good looks strolls by the local coffee shop in an evening gown. Her sidekick: an adorable, sprightly little pup. Her beverage of choice: A bright pink fruity concoction in a clear plastic cup because bright pink fruity concoctions are hardly worth ordering unless they shine like a beacon through the Saturday afternoon crowd.

Now before you accuse me of sarcasm let me remind you that she clearly made a distinct enough impression on me that I felt compelled to draw her. In fact, I commend her for her bravery. I think we could all use a dose of that kind of confidence.

You know what? That's it. I'm inspired. Tomorrow I'm going to wear an evening gown to the coffee shop. See you there.
