Penelope was aware of the odd look she was receiving from the other customers of the boutique she and Margaret were browsing in. She couldn't blame them- Margaret stood out with her vibrant personality and bold fashion choices. Despite her age, Margaret looked youthful. Her confidence radiated as she effortlessly pulled off each unique outfit she tried on, making Penelope conscious of what others would think of her accompanying Margaret.
"Why don't you try this, dear?" Margaret turned and showed Penelope a stunning white evening dress.
Penelope hesitated, her fingers hovering over the delicate fabric of the dress. She could already feel the eyes of the other customers on her, silently judging her ability to pull off such an elegant garment. But Margaret's encouraging smile pushed her out of her comfort zone.
