Watching her mother get ready for an evening out with dad was the highlight of her week. She loved her mom's clothes, shoes, make-up, and the Acqua di Parma perfume she always wore. Mother always let her put some on too.
Oh, she longed to be a grown-up already.

This reminds me of childhood days & watching my mom get dressed.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Kathi said. Love the reminiscent feel about it, being young and looking up to mom as we did, getting ready for a night out with dad, putting on her perfume & fur coat. Remember those days? Well done, Cori!
