Both times I’ve sat down at my desk to write TIE O’ THE DAY posts today, my brain has gone right to Mom. Clearly, I’m missing her bigly. I need to make another day-journey to Deltassippi ASAP. Skitter will certainly tag along. Suzanne will too, I hope.
This photo is from 2015. Again, Mom’s in my old Delta living room– drinking her Pepsi and peering out the window at the neighborhood’s comings-and-goings. It must have been a cold-butt day outside when I snapped this. As always, Mom was setting trends with her lackadaisical, tie-less style. It’s the socks that raise this outfit to a supreme level of Mom-ness fashion.
I can totally see Mom as a commercial fashion designer. She might have to create herself a designer-y name though: Oscar de la Mom-a. Tommy Helenfilger. Gloria VanderHelen. Grandma Klein. Diane Von FurstenHelen. HWNY. Dolce and GabHelen. HUCCI. Helenmut Lang. H. Crew. Heljimmy Choo. Helaxander McQueen. Paco Helbanne. Helentino. Ralph Helen. Yves Saint Helent. One of those could definitely work. If anyone can pull it off, it would be Mom.
