nike goddess

today nancy is wearing the nike goddess ski jacket her ex husband got her when there was still hope for their relationship. she wears it over one of the three pink plaid nightgowns her mother bought her and her daughter at TJ Max. currently two of the nightgowns are in nancy's drawer because nancy tends to wear them both. she plans to do a portrait of all three generations in their matching nightgowns and pathologies. she caps off the outfit with black and gray argyle patterned sox from Banana Republic and wedgy retro sixties brown swede clogs from Pac Sun that give her the two extra inches her legs need to appear "tall" by Jewish standards. nancy's daughter is pretty unflappable in the morning regarding nancy's "driving-to-school outfits" but this one caused even maddy to smirk (though it passed the bump-into-other parents test because nancy looked dressed from the waist up). jonah as usual didn't notice, his gene pool being more loaded toward nancy's and therefore less aware of it - just two days ago he wore his pajamas to the doctor and the video store himself.

the sole of the shoes are cracked (all metaphors intended) and she recalls being in a NY cab two years ago with her funny, speaks-in-slant quasi-boyfriend at the time who joked to her that they were "come fuck me" shoes precisely because they weren't. she and this boyfriend who are still friends (who fuck) did indeed have sex that night so i guess nancy knew what she was doing (and wearing) afterall.

nancy's brother gary accused her many years ago of dressing like she just doesnt' really care and "threw it all together" when he knew--since he lived with her--how much keen art and psychological fashion direction actually went into whatever nancy wore and whatever goal she was setting out to accomplish.

this makes even nancy wonder where this latest trend is going....
