skinned elbow and a red dress

I love the contrast between a little girl’s fancy dress (sparkles! a brooch on a belt!) and the mannequin’s skinned up elbow.

It reminds me of earlier this year when my granddaughter had to leave the Cotillion early so she could get to…football practice.

eventually the dream fades

Anther downtown shop window – this one is filled up with two giant dresses, hand lettered signs, and reflections. But the best part is the way the sign and dress on the left are fading into the reflected background, like so many dreams involving giant dresses tend to do.

(And, also, like so many dreams in general did for this entire damn year. It’s another metaphor!)
