Chapter 3

When you go shopping for the party of a lifetime…

“What the hell are you still doing hanging out with that asshole?” Caroline asks dismissively. We are in Elle’s, a small boutique in Soho, where you can shop by appointment only. I didn’t even know these places existed until Caroline introduced me to the concept.

Caroline is not a fan of Tom. They never got along, not since he called her an East Side snob at our junior year Christmas party at Yale and she called him a middle class poseur. Neither insult was very creative, but their insults got better over the years as their hatred for each other grew. You know how in the movies, two characters who hate each other in the beginning always end up falling in love by the end? Well, for a while, I actually thought that would happen to them. If not fall in love, at least hook up. But no, they stayed steadfast in their hatred.

“That guy is such a tool. I mean, who the hell is he to tell you what to do anyway? It’s not like you’re his girlfriend,” Caroline says placing a silver beaded bandage dress to her body and extending her right leg in front. Caroline is definitely a knock out. She’s 5’10’’, 125 pounds with legs that go up to her chin. In fact, from far away, she seems to be all blonde hair and legs and nothing else.

“I think he was just concerned, given all the stuff that is out there about this party.”

“Okay, first of all, you have to stop calling it a party.”

“Why? What is it?”

“It’s not a party. It’s like calling a wedding a party. Is it a party? Yes. But is it bigger than that.”

“I had no idea that you were so sensitive to language. Fine. What do you want me to call it?’

“An experience,” she announces, completely seriously.

“Are you kidding me? No way. There’s no way I’m going to call it an experience.”

We browse in silence for a few moments. Some of the dresses and tops and shoes are pretty, some aren’t. I’m the first to admit that I do not have the vocabulary or knowledge to appreciate a place like this. Now, Caroline on the other hand…

“Oh my God, I’m just in love with all these one of a kind pieces you have here,” she says to the woman upfront who immediately starts to beam with pride.

“That’s what we’re going for.”

“These statement bags and the detailing on these booties – agh! To die for, right?” Caroline says and they both turn to me.

“Yeah, totally,” I agree blindly.

“And these high-end core pieces, I could just wear this every day!” Caroline pulls up a rather structured cream colored short sleeve shirt with a tassel hem and a boxy fit. I’m not sure what makes that shirt a so-called core piece, but I go with the flow. I’m out of my element and I know it.

“Okay, so what are we supposed to wear to this experience if we don’t even know what’s going to be going on there.
