This past New Year’s, my family gathered for what was supposed to be a cozy, casual dinner.
It’s a tradition we’ve had for years, filled with laughter, food, and heartfelt toasts.
But this year, my mom—who is 75 years old—walked into the room wearing a shiny, dazzling sequin dress.
I’m not going to lie. I was stunned. My mom has always dressed with understated elegance, leaning toward classic cuts and muted colors. Seeing her in a bold, sparkly outfit made me pause.
