Having an Italian daughter-in-law is a fashion commitment.
When Carolina and Ido (my son) were planning their wedding in Israel, I warned her that some Israelis might show up in shorts and sandals to the wedding. The family got a memo from her asking everyone to dress up, in suits please.
Carolina taught me about pajamas and dressing up to sleep, I have never seen her in the same outfit when they come to visit me. I am always looking forward to seeing what she would wear daily. And the morning dress is different from the evening one, of course.
It’s about dressing up to the occasion. I learned to really care about it.
This past weekend I practiced. I didn’t just take a walk on the beach with my old sweat pants. I dressed up. It felt good.
Happy Tuesday,
Yael Edelist, President, Alembika USA
