Stylish, but understated

Submitted by Rick on Mon, 03/06/2006 - 10:22pm.

From The Olympian:

A woman robbed a Sterling Savings Bank this afternoon at 3000 Harrison Ave. N.W., Olympia police reported.

The robber was described as white, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, with pale skin and dark short hair. She had pale skin and wore a black long wool coat and black Capri pants. She did not display a weapon although she implied that she was armed, police said.

Of course, it would be gauche to display a weapon.

Preoccupation with shoes may be a more regional focus, what with our wet weather and all. Depends on what form of transport our thief had. If chauffeured, perhaps sleek black patent leather flats would suffice? Flexible enough for running in while also working with the capri pants, long coat, and pearls.

Question is, would the shoes be best unadorned, or bowed?

Caiman-skin shoes are a sure winner in any bank holdup situation.

What happened to dressing up

What happened to dressing up as Richard Nixon or John Kennedy? Was that only a movie-fad?
