I think the expression on this woman’s face says it all.
Women and handbags…I think she likes it. My experience with handbags: you see the one you really like and your face lights up, then you look at the price and …omg it costs something ridiculous. So you end up having a bemused expression, like the one she has now…and thinking “I love you so much, but can I really afford you??” Have a pleasant evening Lignum. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, the sale! That’s touching the heart of women:) And the sale of shoes even more. “How much? Is it what I want? Can I find something better in some other place?” And many many other thoughts… Nice photo.
I don’t get the fashion boot thing, but I am not typical that way, I guess. More for all the other women, right? 🙂
Again, I applaud your candid capture!
I thought she was having a “boot lust” moment at first, but a second look, especially checking out the rest of her face in the window reflection, tells me that she recognizes that those boots will not be coming to live at her house…no matter how much she might like them.
As always, so much fun to check out your candids and then spin a story to match.
thank you for dropping by and liking some of my recent posts.
its very encouraging getting + feedback from the pros like yourself.
have a good weekend.
A few minutes – and it’s mine!
🙂
She certainly does look ensnared.
Totally. 🙂
Women and their shoes.
Go figure, huh? 🙂
Now I’m thinking about shoes all day. haha
🙂
Great covert capture!
Thanks Suzy. Have a great day.
Jackpot?! Maybe not, huh?!
You did a such an impressive job of capturing ‘the moment’ here!
Thank you very much. Cheers!

It’s all part of the game of entrapment, that stores like to play. Many thanks for your comments Liz. Enjoy the rest of your day.
My thought exactly lol it seems like she’s thinking : if it goes on sale maybe they will take a dollar off 🙂
That would definitely be entrapment. Thank you for visiting.
You are welcome 🙂
Shoes and purses – what is the male equivalent obsession?
Those who wear the shoes and purses? 🙂
Men obsess over a lot actually. An exact fashion equivalent? Hard to say though.
I was going to say cars and technology, but that may just be in the US
Worldwide for sure, but not necessarily a man thing these days. 🙂
Yep! Nice capture, lignum.
Thank you. 🙂

Definitely a thought provoking occasion, until you look in your wallet. 🙂 Thank you and have a great day.
Have a great day too 🙂

Thank you. I had a sneaking suspicion you may not have been “typical”. *yay*.
Nicely caught! You can’t help smiling!
Glad you like it. Thank you.
Her expression really is great!
Thank you Lisa.

There’s a fine line between a smile and a grimace. 🙂 😦
Many thanks for your insightful interpretation.
I pity the man who thinks he knows what women are thinking about. 🙂
Wise words my friend.

I’m not a pro, but thank you for thinking so. And you’re most welcome.
Can’t help myself, the “Sale” sign did it. 😉
It always does. 🙂
Ah, window shopping… I’ve got to go NOW 🙂
🙂
That is one huge “I Want” glow on the woman’s face. Well captured!
Thanks. It’s a scene we see/experience everyday. The camera freezes these moments for us to examine and enjoy.
