Upscale but Tacky

I just got back to the office after a quick errand to NorthPark’s Neimans. Within my 10 minutes in the store, I overheard/watched adult women do the following:

• One woman trying on dresses for the Cattle Baron’s Ball (umm, it’s in September). She had to have it match her suede cowboy boots perfectly.
• Mother/daughter shopping trip with the following conversation:

Mother- “What do you think about this one?”

Daughter- “I don’t think I can squeeze myself in it.”

Mother- “No, I meant for me.”

Daughter- “Oh, ya, it’s cute.”

Mother- “Well, I guess you won’t be borrowing it.” (As she looked her daughter up and down)

• Two different groups of women discussing just how disgusting it was that Chris from Project Runway made a jacket out of human hair. (The term “groooooss” was way overused)
• A Yurman-clad woman dropped her entire frozen yogurt on the escalator.

It was an eventful 10 minutes.
