This woman-at-the-wheel wonders: Are you what you drive?

The Car Maketh The Man

THE short story Crocodile Shoes, by Jojo Moyes, is about a woman who ends up with a pair of crocodile-skin Louboutins after her bag accidentally got swopped at the gym.

They were not the kind of shoes that she usually wears, but with a packed schedule ahead, she had no other alternative but to live in them for the day.

Thanks to those shoes, she clinched a couple of deals on the same day because her clients could not take their eyes off those stilettos on her feet. The men were seduced by it, while the women were impressed.

One female client of hers even commented: “You can tell so much about someone from what they wear.”

Does the same apply to what you drive?
