Cameron

Cameron stood in front of her gold-trimmed floor-length mirror in her bedroom. It was early morning, about half past seven, and after two weeks of working on the front lines canvassing women’s shelters, soup kitchens, and poverty-stricken areas, she was finally beginning to get used to being up before nine o’clock.

Used to it but not enjoying it.

The sun had not yet begun to creep over the trees in the front yard of the estate, so her bedroom was still dark. She’d turned on the lights, had her shower, and blow dried her hair, and now she was trying to decide what the hell she should wear.

Clearly, something she was doing wasn’t working.

The women still weren’t opening up to her. Nothing she said seemed to garner any trust from them and they all preferred to pretend she wasn’t there instead of make eye contact with her. She wondered if she intimidated them or if there was something about the way she was dressing that made her come across as untrustworthy.

She knew people with no money had a hard time believing those who had money were good. She understood that. She knew there was a barrier between them.

All she needed to do was find a way to take it down.

Or better yet, blow it up.

With a renewed sense of determination, Cameron went through her dresser drawers and closet. She found a pair of jeans she hadn’t worn in ages and pulled them on. They were tighter than she remembered, probably because she’d been doing more training the last year and her ass was a little fuller than it used to be, but they started to stretch out the longer she wore them. She rummaged through her dresser to find a plain T-shirt but came up empty.

“How can you not own a plain T-shirt?” she wondered aloud. Was she really that snobby and stuck up that she never bothered to purchase basic shirts? “Pauline would be so ashamed of you.”

Instead of a T-shirt, she pulled on a tight black tank top. She tucked it into the jeans and threw a blazer over her shoulders. She put on a pair of low heels. They were simple and black with a pointed toe. She liked how they complemented the simple outfit.

“It’s still too much,” she breathed as she studied herself.

She needed to be approachable. She needed to be casual.

Casual, she thought. How does one do casual?

She shrugged out of the blazer and stepped out of the shoes. Cameron had never experienced what it was like to look in her closet and feel like she had nothing to wear. She’d heard other women complain about this her entire life—including Pauline, who was guilty of it on a near weekly basis. But not Cameron. She had more clothes than she knew what to do with and she loved getting dressed every day.

However, she did not love getting dressed to go to the shelters.

Finally, she had a brilliant idea.

“Active wear,” she said hopefully.

How many women did she see wandering the streets in leggings and casual pullover sweaters? She owned all those things.
