She Wore The Most Remarkable Pendants
Pendants Are Not Magical But They Can Create Illusions. I suppose I always knew this but I recently discovered why. It was at a restaurant when I came to the realization that pendants do hold a certain power. Perhaps not a power, but a definite influence. I had just decided what I would order when I noticed a couple enter the restaurant. Or rather, her. She had completely captured my attention. It was the area directly below her chest that drew my eyes. Amidst a colorful pattern of delicate pinks and purples, she had two matching pendants that completely took my attention.
As soon as I saw her, she was gone. Her happy escort followed directly behind, making sure to stay very close. He obviously wanted everyone to know that he was with her. Then they were both gone. The image of her was still in my memory. I wanted to turn around and look at her again, but to do may have been construed as rude. Those necklaces were brilliant. They had matched perfectly with her blouse. They seemed to have sparkled.
Everything she wore matched perfectly and complimented each other so well. Her accessories blended beautifully with her wardrobe. Even her hair was nicely arranged. She walked past as if she was used to making an appearance. She walked fast enough to allow only a glance.
How did she do it? Purple and pink are very hard colors to work with. It is very hard for a woman to find stylish clothing in purple! This woman clearly knew something other women did not.
I thought about the pendants again, which was the first thing I noticed when I saw her. And then it dawned on me. Perhaps I noticed because I am an artist, but I clearly saw the intention. I am sure that I was the only person to know her secret.
The woman did not have an especially attractive face or body. As a matter-of-fact, she was taller tan average and had a belly that protruded more than average. It was the pendant that distracted me. Her magical pendant was leading the eye away from her problem features. Her beautiful pendant had become the focal point of her person. Her exquisite ornament had become a freshly frosted round cake that was now resting on a otherwise lonely cake plate.
The position of the pendant hung exactly between her face and belly. Mind you, she was certainly not ugly. The pendant had precisely disguised her most problem features! That miraculous pendant had kept the eye at eye level. It kept others from looking up and noticing how tall she was. At the same time, it kept others from looking down and noticing her slight belly problem. The beautiful blouse helped keep the eye there. This incredible woman had a wondrous secret and I was certainly not going to tell.
