Fashion Statement


Her hand bag 
matched her jacket:

a print of black and white circles 
resembling a film negative 
of dozens of deviled eggs
over a black background

a bold fashion statement 
which, sadly
only seemed to highlight
that the rest of her was unremarkable 

but that caused me to review 
my own wardrobe choices for the day:

blue jean jacket
blue flower-print shirt
fading blue jeans
all which seemed to highlight 

me as equally unremarkable 
and much less imaginative.

Matching accessories wins.
