This piece is making me consider the phrase "carry it off." She definitely "carries it off." She understands that her job is partly to create an atmosphere and hold a stage (a restaurant is certainly a stage, with an audience), and her clothes help her do that. What a wonderful opportunity to play with clothes, and to exercise a great eye!

OMG I did not notice that was Roya in that scene! I really love how you weave in those bits of the New York reminiscent of other times. People with style buying great clothes and not buying brands…..!
