Five Minutes

...Here in an instant, gone in a flash/ What does it mean? What does it mean?....

She was wearing hot pink boots. I noticed because I own some. They just met the hem of her capri-length jeans, which were topped by a ruched hot pink top and a cropped denim jacket with 3/4 length sleeves. A longer sleeve of hot pink mesh showed between elbow and wrist. I couldn't see her earrings, and didn't notice her hair. Her nails were two inches long. Each.

If she was in style when she walked in the store, she most certainly wasn't by the time she walked out.
