Why Is My Daughter Suddenly a Preppy Queen?

You ever wake up one summer and realize your kid has become a whole new person? That’s me right now. My 16-year-old daughter, who used to rock the skater-girl vibe—ripped jeans, messy hair, pretending not to care (but definitely caring)—has done a total 180. Out of nowhere, she swapped her contacts for glasses (which she used to hate), chopped her hair short, and started wearing her smartwatch like it’s glued to her wrist. And the clothes? Gone are the oversized tees; now it’s all polos and khakis. My husband and I are side-eyeing each other, wondering if there’s a new crush in the picture. Should I ask her what’s up, or just let her reinvent herself? Sometimes I wish I could just read her mind instead of her wardrobe. 😅 #parenting #teenagers #identity #family #change #RomanticRelationships
