I, Fashion Icon.

Last Saturday I met Gil at 13th and 3rd Ave, for a Cosmic Burrito. It was 7pm and 70ish on my first trip out of the Borough that weekend.
I was still wearing my Mediterranean glow from my recent vacation, so accessorizing was unnecessary. By sun set, I had my Zen energies and a burrito in my belly. I didn’t think the evening could get any better. When he suggested I join their boy’s night out at The Jane Hotel, I turned down the offer instinctively;
A. I was dressed for Williamsburg/Tel Aviv, maybe East village, definitely not Meat Packing.
B. I don't do serious stuff like that. I'm not that committed to partying. Sleeping was tempting.
Somehow I ended up at the Jane. Underdressed and curious but self-confident the way I always am on a warm night. I think it was Jim Carry's "Yes Man" I saw earlier that made me just say yes. That - and the proximity of the fancy bar to the L train.

Twins

So we did get in. It was early. I was the only girl without a cocktail-dress or a modeling contract. I was having fun though. After all, not everyday one gets a chance to perform an anthropological research. Not even in Manhattan.
As the evening progressed, I trying harder to make the best out of being The girl with the cutoff jeans and a white oxford shirt. Knowing I have, for a change, a cute dress waiting to be worn at home made it more difficult.
An hour of drinking and outfits inspection later, I spotted my savior. A girl with the same items- my long lost fashion twin in this unfamiliar planet. She was wearing neither heels nor blings. Very low key. Like me.
Her jeans were shorter and her shirt way less buttoned, but it was still overall a casual shorts-and- white shirt look.
Luckily, she set on the couch facing us so I could point her to my friends. It was then that I recognized, being the hard core "Full House" fan that I am, Mary-Kate Olsen.

I rest my case and head back to the burg. Two beliefs were reinforced; Jim Carry is still awesome, and, I don't have to upgrade my styling, especially not as long as it's summer.
