BOOTS

are made for work:

farming, fighting

and other sorts of vigor.

They’ve no time for frippery—

unless frippery is the business at hand.

RED LIPSTICK

 

 

A red lip looks good
on everyone.
It commands
attention
and
signals
danger
and glamour
in equal measures.

Black Tights

BLACK TIGHTS

 

Utilitarian, yet
bold.
Schoolmarmish,
yet witchy.
Sexy,
yet unrevealing.

They tell the world
you’re not
particularly
concerned
with what it thinks.
