HA! I totally remember those J Crew anoraks!!!! I had forgotten... this essay was such a blast from the past. I started college in the mid 90s and EVERYONE had those. I also have some memory of rugby shirts. Thank you for bringing me back. Great essay!
Thank you, Sophie! Please enjoy more 90s via this photo of me sporting a rope and beaded necklace, made the first week of college and my HS friend borrowing THAT rugby.
That could've been me in the middle! I had the same haircut and similar rugby. I believe mine was green and from Benetton, if my memory is correctly delivering…
How times changed. When I started college in 1958, preppy girls were supposed to have white blouses with peter pan collars. I didn't and went on in my well-established and lonely "difference." Some of us just are.
Thank you for including me among your fabulous list of recommended readings!
