Presentable?

I can’t believe it! I’m a mother of three!

When you are a mother of three, you don’t expect yourself to look as radiant as when you were eighteen years old and you would be happy if nobody complains that you look old and haggard.

Now, whenever I go out, be it shopping, dining or attending functions, I would ensure that I dress up properly and carry myself well. A few nice dresses and blouses in the wardrobe are essential for me. On one hand, I do not wish to dress up like some teenage girls and on the other hand, I do not wish to dress up to be called “Aunty”. What about a decent dress coupled with some designer jewellery? That would be presentable, don’t you think so?

Personally, I prefer simple and elegant silver jewellery. Diamonds and gold jewellery are just not my taste. The diamond ring which my husband used to propose to me seven years ago has been in the drawer for quite some time. I just don’t fancy diamonds although many would say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

Tammy,

I know what you mean. When my kids were young, I dare not even dress up or wear any jewellery, not even a watch. Now that they are a little older, I can dress up a little.

Audrey,

Haha, let's hope so.

Jacss,

No need photo. We'll meet one day. It's nice to meet bloggers in person, just like meeting penpals. Glad that you agree with dressing up too.

Kelly,

There are already people who call me aunty. Haha.

Ginnie,

It seems like we have a lot in common. We are both practical, lousy in cooking and have the same sir name! Haha. Glad to know you, Ginnie.
