“You always wear such beautiful clothes,” a student told me.
“Thank you,” I said.
“You have this very chic way of dressing that makes you really stand out. Like this skirt,” the student actually tugged on my skirt. “It looks very European. You bought it in Europe, right?”
I didn’t have the heart to tell her that my “European” skirt had been bought at Macy’s in St.Louis for $45, so I mumbled something.
Everything means whatever you want it to mean.
