Dressing in finery

Posted by Phoenixritu February 28, 2009, under Uncategorized | 20 Comments


Role reversal is wierd ... in a nice heart warming way

DIL has decided that I badly need to dress up like a grown up and be lady like

She has also offered to take me shopping, not for herself, but FOR ME

Shocking!  She is willing to forgo her shopping for me!!!  I am amazed that she would sacrifice so much time for me - and even make the effort.

I am also thankful

Well!  I am quite bad at shopping for clothes

I was the bane of my mother's existence.  She was the most elegantly turned out lady, wonder how she gave birth to the tomboy I was.

And now I have the most put together Fashionista in the form of my DIL.  DIL is girly girly

Before any shaadi in the house, she rounds me up with a "What are you wearing?" question.  Mind you this is a month before the event.  She of course has already decided her clothes, jewellery, accessories and even the clothes her hubby Kid#1 will wear.

Then she gets on Kid#2 and my case ........

On my birthday she decided I would wear a saree.

I wore one

Since I tied it myself, it worked loose after 3 drinks and I ditched it for a housecoat.

She rolled her eyes, spoke gently "Mom aise kab tak chalega?"

Heck it worked for me for 50 years.

Now I have to get my act together and stop being such a brat

My Momma would have loved her

    I am also going to go shopping, I seem to have no decent clothes to wear (read, I am bored of everything I have). But, I have no one to take me shopping...maybe I should pester and pout in front of boyfriend ;)
