Mother-daughter chic
So, as I was perusing the Internet today, I came across a book by Parisian personal shopper Susan Tabak. Tabak, whose blogs under her book title, Chic in Paris, had one post that I found particularly interesting, pertaining to inherited beauty. The post, here, showcases mother-daughter chicness in both fashion and beauty. My own mother is not very fashion conscience, but we have a photograph together from my youth that I think could easily be an addition to this collection. My mother, probably in her early 30s, and myself, around 8 years old, are seated inside an ornate hotel lobby in Cyprus. It was right before dinner, and my mother, in a black chiffon dress that would make Coco Chanel herself jealous, is seated in a chair, and I, in a lot of pink and white ruffles, am standing beside her. Despite the chaos around us, our eyes are locked into a moment of happiness that even decades later, I can remember with distinction. I think it is the closeness that my mother and I had at that moment, rather than our designer duds, that makes the photo so appealing. And perhaps, for the numerous photos of that Tabak chose for her blog entry, the same was true.
