I have been in Aylmer, PQ with Mary. This morning she was dressed-up ready to go to a party at work. The dress was more flowery than I usually see on her. About 10 times more motion going on in the pattern of that dress, than in her usual colour -- black. I asked her about it and she said that a woman at work who is also curvaceous, when Mary asked her to go shopping with her, said, "Oh just go online. " Then the friend opened up a computer page, pointed to a dress, said buy this one, Mary did it, and that was the end of their shopping trip.
But this turned out to be a dress beyond Mary's wildest imagination.
She loves it -- the cut, large flowers and all. I looked at it and thought, there is no way any of my personal jewellery is going to look good on that dress.

But I remembered a necklace that Leo brought back from Africa that I thought would work on it.
Mary said absolutely not. I told her yes, that jewellery will tone down the dress.
She laughed and tried it on to appease me.
I begged her to keep it on, at least until one person at work commented on it.
Mary sent me a selflie.
She said that she could only take the picture from the neck down. She tried a picture with her face in it, but she didn't' recognize her own face so here is a picture of the necklace and the dress, at least!

Oh, Mary. What a great comment. Yes. I know about not recognizing one's own face in the mirror. I am reminded of a time when I went from long hair to cropped and coloured, and I kept thinking I was seeing Rebecca next to me each time I walked past a window and saw my reflection.
