Witch-y Wear

During the heat wave last week I was wearing a maxi sundress-- sleeveless cotton knit on top and white multilayered lightweight cotton gauze below the empire waist. It was very flow-y. It was perfect for the extreme heat.

And I found myself in conversation with someone who admired the ease and apparent comfort of my dress and then inquired Where did you buy that?—because I saw one just like it in a Wicken catalogue I received at home.

And before I could answer her question I became immediately distracted. My mind raced---why does this woman receive a Wicken catalogue?—is she a wicken? And just as importantly—was I dressed like a witch?—albeit a white witch—like Glenda?

But I did not share any of these thoughts. I simply said I bought it at T.J Maxx. It was $24.99.

And that pretty much was the end of the conversation.

And now I am left wondering about the whole Wicken thing.

But at least now I know who to contact if in preparing my caldron I see that I have run out of eye of newt.

Because you never know when you may be in need of casting a good  spell. And you can never have too much eye of newt.
