Remember the thrill of dressing up for that special date? Watch my heroine Violet decide what to wear on her special date. A New Dream is available at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. “How should I wear my hair?” Violet chewed at her lip. “I’m wearing the blue dress I wore to Henry and Julie’s wedding.
Marjorie sighed and rolled her eyes. “Violet, I’m beginning to think I shouldn’t have encouraged you to go out with Matt. His friend’s wedding is all you’ve talked about for days now.” She sighed again. “Wear your hair just like you always wear it. Mattnlikes it that way.”
“He does? How do you know?”
“Because of the way he looks at you.” Marjorie passed a tub of cake frosting to Violet. “Now, Violet, you still have several cakes to ice. You’d better get at it.”
“I don’t like my shoes. I think I need to get something nicer. Where could I find something sort of unusual?”
“Patterson’s at the mall. Now about those cakes…”
“Do you think I should get a makeover before the wedding?” Violet surveyed her reflection in the glass display case.
“No. Cakes…”
“I’ll stop by Nada’s Dress Shoppe after work. Everything there costs the earth, so I can’t afford to buy anything, but I’ll get some ideas on how to accessorize my dress.”
Marjorie iced the cakes.
I love this. The mix of emotions between the two women. So vivd.
ReplyDeleteLove the preoccupations with looking just right for her man. Read this book and loved it.
ReplyDeleteAn, I remember the days of worrying about how I'd fix my hair and what dress I'd wear. Unfortunately, those days are long gone ~ ha! Love this!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to give in to the inevitible! Glad Marjorie realized this. LOL Loved Violet's enthusiasm. Can't wait to see Matt's response to her outfit. :) Great sample.
ReplyDeleteSounds like someone's in love and can't think of anything else
ReplyDeleteI loved the dialogue and the pictures it paints of each character.
ReplyDeleteI think she's anxious to please Matt! How darling. :)
