Tales of Brace-wearing (Part 3)

Remember the man working in a corporate office from Tales of Brace-wearing Part 1 and Part 2? We rejoin him about a week later.

Mid-morning the man was working in the office when two female colleagues knock on his door. They are excited and ask to show off their outfits.

“Sure,” says the man, “I have some time.”

“We love your braces so we did some shopping and put together these styles,” says the first lady. “As you can see, I’m wearing high-waisted, grey pants with burgundy braces and this white blouse.”

“Fantastic,” says the man. “That’s a classy outfit.”

“And I’m wearing a high-waisted pencil navy skirt with brown braces and this red blouse,” says the second lady.

“Equally fantastic,” says the man. “The browns go well with the pastels.”

“Thank you,” reply the ladies.

“And I’m wearing high-rise grey pants with green braces with this white dress shirt,” says the man.”

“So dapper,” says the first lady.

“Each of us have different colors and our different personalities displayed here, but we are all wearing braces,” says the man.

“That’s right,” says the second lady.

“I can’t get over how comfortable the braces are,” says the first lady. “Whether I’m sitting or standing, they comfortably rest there.”

The man smiled and said, “you’ve been converted to brace-wearing! You’ll wear braces for the rest of your life!”

“Yes!” says both ladies.

“Do you mind if we take a picture?” asks the second lady.

“Not at all, that would be great,” says the man.

And that’s how it came that a photo of the three co-workers wearing braces was taken.
