Charli’s Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction Challenge:
January 14, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about dressing up. It can be a child or another character. Be playful or go where the prompt leads!
As”mo”mi Returns
Asmi, a new mom, stood in front of the mirror and took a good look at herself. The pregnancy glow was replaced by stress of being a new mom. She sighed, “I need to look and feel like my old self”. She opened her wardrobe and then took out a kaftan. A glamorous yellow kaftan in chiffon with beautiful grey motifs printed on it. She put it on, wore her favourite bead necklace and dabbed make up . Then she sprayed her favourite Chanel perfume. She wore heels, took a selfie in mirror, posted on Instagram As”mo”mi returns
Kavita, what an uplifting story! I love the new name the new mom adopts from Asmi to As”mo”mi. Dress up can do us good. Thanks for joining us at Carrot Ranch!

I like your play on words in the title.
I hope posting on Instagram will help her make it real.

It will at least make her feel she is part of life. Reality of new mom is not as rosy as projected by social media
