Thinking In Orange

Thouranges…

This big corporate bank building where I am currently working has a vibe off its own. Taking up a couple of blocks of downtown, it has room to house quite a few fashion oddities, so at least once a day I see something that makes chuckle. Sometimes they’re just a little ironic, sometimes a little out of place, other are just outrageous. Seen recently:
 

1.       A woman wearing a pair of black patent leather boots that gave the distinct impression of being part of an S&M kit

2.       A woman wearing a two piece suit (but with ¾ length pants), all of leather. Tight leather

3.       What is it with the leather around here? Another leather pencil skirt

4.       You sometimes stores sell a suit with two options – pants or a skirt? This morning I saw someone wearing all three pieces at once. Pin stripes pants, covered by a pinstriped knee length skirt, teamed with the pinstriped jacket.

5.       A woman wearing an elaborate headscarf covering her hair and shoulders, I presume to preserve her modesty, but dressed from the shoulders down in skin tight apparel.

Remember a few posts back (yeah, I know that would make it 2 months ago) I mentioned the guy that sleeps right next to the offramp on the pavement?

Well, this is something you have to see:

He’s been there every morning for the past two months. When its raining he pulls a sheet of plastic over himself.

I wonder why he doesn’t try to find something a little softer / sheltered / quieter / more private…
