frantic and flattered

today, i was walking, pretty fast.  because i have had butterflies in my stomach all day.  just nerves.  i'm not going to explain.  but i was feeling slightly frantic. 

i could feel someone walking behind me, and i could hear them make a tiny coughing/clearing throat sound.  and then they spoke.  a young man.  well dressed.  accessorized.  he said, "would you mind if i took a photo of you for a style blog?" 

i said sure as a i took a half step back and just sort of looked at him.  he snapped his photo and put his camera down.  i asked him his name, i told him mine.  short pause... "have a good day!"  i said.  then i started walking again. 

seriously?

it was funny and awkward.  but i felt so flattered.  i did actually construct the outfit i wore today.  and i felt good about it.  got a lot of compliments.  i'll post the pic when he does.  ps- i had to ask around and fb stalk to find out the blog.  no one thought it necessary to mention when the photo was taken. (???)

anyway.  a good day.  for you, ALH.  just like you asked.
