Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

The shop assistant paused for a moment. Beverley looked over with the same puzzled expression.

Millie said, "Beverley, how about I pick out a few outfits for you too?"

Beverley glanced at Nola, thinking, Oh, so you're getting help picking out clothes? Well, I've got my own stylist too!

With that thought, she smiled at Millie and nodded, "That sounds great. I trust your judgment."

As she said this, she completely forgot how she had criticized Millie's taste in fashion last time.

Millie immediately went to choose clothes, gesturing at one piece and then another to the assistants behind her, exuding a confident aura.

Roseanne, on the other hand, had a completely different approach.

She would first look at the color and style, then feel the fabric, and only after deciding, she would ask the shop assistant to bring them down, arranging them in complete sets. "Nola, after looking around, let's go with these two outfits. Why don't you try them on?"

Nola eagerly took the clothes, full of anticipation and excitement.

She really loved Roseanne's taste in fashion; every outfit Roseanne picked out previously had been a hit.

To be honest, she enjoyed shopping with Roseanne more than with her own daughter, Leda.

Perhaps it was a case of like minds clicking?

At that moment, Millie came over, "I've made my choices too."

Beverley headed to the dressing room.

She was the first to come out, dressed in a red A-line sundress paired with a chic blouse. The outfit made her look significantly younger. Beverley checked herself out in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

"Not bad at all."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Millie modestly smiled, "It's all thanks to your good maintenance, ma'am. You're even slimmer than me."

Beverley was pleased.

But the next second, her smile froze as she saw Nola step out from the next changing room.

Roseanne had chosen for Nola a pale aqua tea dress with a subtle decorative design, giving the simple silk fabric a touch of texture.

The modern cut of the dress perfectly hugged Nola's figure, making her look even more gracefully tall and demure.

Standing next to her, Beverley felt like an older woman dressed in clothes that were too youthful, trying too hard to recapture her youth. The difference was clear.

The next outfit for Nola was even more of a knockout compared to Beverley's.

Millie had been quite confident initially.

Given Beverley's shorter stature, many outfits were not suitable for her, making it challenging to find the right look.

She had spent a lot of time and effort picking out these two outfits.

However...

The sizes Millie chose did suit Beverley and catered to her preferences. With the reputation of high-end brands, the quality of the clothes was naturally not bad, and Millie could have passed.

But the outfits Roseanne picked for Nola were so outstanding, and with Nola's superior physical condition the saying "comparison is the thief of joy held true. Standing next to Beverley, Nola made her look like a maid.

QUMS

Despite both being dressed in luxury brands, there was a tackiness about Beverley's look.

The contrast was even more striking when the two stood face to face.

Seeing herself in the mirror, Nola was both surprised and delighted, "Anne, this is my first time trying this style, but I really like it. How did you come up with it?"

She was wearing a silk camisole paired with black silk wide-leg pants, the same person but with an instantly changed aura.

The silver hoop earrings were eye-catching, slightly exaggerated but also casual and laid-back.

If the previous outfit was gentle and demure, this one was bold and efficient.
