NPR: Overheard in Our Elevator

Overheard in Our Elevator

Ready for the New York marathon.

It ain't Overheard in New York, but here goes...Our building here at Bryant Park is filled with fashion houses, from Michael Kors to Oscar de la Renta to a bunch of other people I've never heard of. Just moments ago, as I rode the elevator up with some fashionistas arriving at work, I overheard this conversation...

Fashionista 1: Oh my God, I love your shoes.

Fashionista 2: Thanks. These are my commuting shoes. I wear them to walk to work.

Fashionista 1: You walk to work in those?

Fashionista 2: Yeah. They're five-inch heels. I change into my six-inch heels for work.

Fashionista 1: Wow. You go, girl.

You go, girl, indeed. For the record, BPP staffers do not distinguish between commuting jeans and work jeans.
