from “Important Things to Know about Career Girls” by Roxane Gay in >kill author:
She wears lipstick, warm red and a smile, cold. Nails, perfectly manicured, polished with thick careful coats. Skirts, natural fibers, hemmed two or three inches above the knee paired with silk blouses in muted colors that open easily at opportune times. Stockings are seamed, fresh and crisp. Heels are high enough to click and clack on hard floors. Jewelry is simple, expensive, coveted. Perfume, worn heavy, leaving heavy clouds in her wake, lingering when she shakes your hand.
