Hello Everyone,
Kimberly here and I couldn't resist the chance to blog about a funny story. I attended my cousins College graduation last weekend and from that I was to go to an event in Boston. The event was held at the Ocean Club in Marina Bay and I knew I would be surrounded by young beautiful girls as this was a Competition to find The Face Of The Ocean Club. Knowing I was going to see my BIG FAT ITALIAN FAMILY first!! I really had a hard time deciding what I was going to wear. I wanted to fit in at the Ocean Club but I didn't want to cause a stir with my family. I can hear it now... " Has she gone mad!... Does she think she is twenty again!... Blah Blah Blah!! My inner voice said wear this outfit to the party and that one to The Ocean Club. Then I thought this is ridiculous I know how to dress, I'm not trying to look twenty, I want to look stylish and beautiful!! So I went with one outfit that I would wear to both. It was a babydoll style summer dress and some wedge sandals. Perfect I thought..........
Then I saw grandma!! Instantly the look!! I thought to myself.. Oh Dear! It didn't take her minutes before I got.......Kimberly!!! That dress is too short! A forty year old mother of four should not be wearing a dress like that!! Head shaking!!! UMMMMMmmmmm... first off I am many years from being forty!! and yes I am a mother of four!! So what!! Can't a mother of four push the envelope and embrace trends???!!
The answer is YES!!! The night was a lot of fun!! My friend Nicole who is also my fabulous hairdresser competed in the competition! I felt like I fit right in and I felt that I was stylish, age appropriate and in turn I felt confident..... I did get a lot of.... WOW!! I hope I look as good as you do when I have four kids!! hahaha!! and I was thinking.... I hate you cause you have rock solid abs!!!!
Will we as women ever be satisfied?!! The next morning my grandmother called and apologized, she said that she loved me and she was sorry for being so opinionated. I told her that I loved her opinions and I will get her back by blogging the story to all of the world!! A few words in italian later.. she ended with she was proud of me!! I LOVE MY BIG FAT ITALIAN FAMILY!!!!! The fashion critic in them and all!!!
XO Kimberly
