Fashion Show for an Audience of One

You know that moment when you get a new pair of jeans and you need immediate validation that they make your butt look amazing? That was me yesterday afternoon.

Fashion Show for an Audience of One

Marcus was innocently making coffee when I announced I needed a professional opinion on my latest purchase.

What followed was an impromptu hallway fashion show that would have made Milan proud.

The pose that started it all

I gave him the full runway treatment - the pose, the walk, the dramatic hair flip. Marcus played his role perfectly, complete with enthusiastic applause and the kind of thumbs up that makes a girl feel like she’s still got it at 37.

The dramatic finale

Of course, Sophie chose that exact moment to come downstairs and witness her parents being ridiculous.

When you realize your daughter caught the whole thing

The mortified laughter that followed was worth every second of embarrassment. For the record, the jeans passed the test with flying colors, and Marcus’s reaction was everything I needed to hear. Sometimes you just need your person to confirm that yes, you still look good in denim.
