Men and Boots

I don't know what it was exactly but I think it must have been the boots. Yesterday I was wearing a knee-length denim skirt, a grey jumper, and my purple suede boots... perfectly respectable, I thought. Clearly it was something about the boots; I had about 5 men whistle/ say what I can only imagine were unsavoury things to me during the walk into town. But oh dear... on my way back I was walking past my lycée and there was a guy sitting outside... and he said 'pardonnez moi' and then something I didnt understand. By that stage I was so annoyed I just said 'Sorry, I don't speak French' and stomped off. A minute later he was there behind me in his car, saying 'excusez-moi...'! Luckily I was right opposite my house so I just frowned at him and waved him away and thought no more of it. And then today, quelle horreur, he was in one of my classes! arghhhh I was so embarassed! He probably was just being nice and saying hello...
I think I'll stick to jeans from now on.
