The Right Clothes Make the Man

There is a predominantly Jewish superstition, when dressing, to put on the right sock and shoe first, then without tying the shoe, put on the left sock and shoe. Tie the left shoe, then return to the right shoe, tying it last. It was thought to be lucky that one should start and end on the right side.

insists she "has" to put her left sock and shoe on first. Just one more thing she's got wrong.

She is ending on the right side, but think of how she could double her fortune by starting and ending on the right side.
