While the girls were in high school, I used to wonder… Should I tone it down? Should I dress more like the other moms? I never wanted to be “extra” in front of them — just present, supportive, and low-key. At the same time, I still wanted to feel independent of motherhood — to hold onto the part of me that was just me. I’ve dedicated everything to the girls, but this one part — how I show up, how I express myself — I’ve always wanted that to be mine. So a common question in our house became: “Do you want me to dress more mom-like?” Their answer? Always: “No, Mom. Be YOU.” Now that chapter’s closing, and I’m reminded — the best thing you can wear is your confidence. 💫 ✨ If you’ve ever felt like dimming your shine for someone else… don’t. Be bold. Be real. Be you.
