One of the best fights I ever had with my mom in the early 90s was over her refusing to buy me “$30 plain red T-shirt” from J Crew because, “I can get you the same for less from LL bean or land’s end!” And I shouted, “when I grow up all I want is to afford J Crew!” To which SHE LAUGHED IN MY FACE & said, “oh god, I hope you’re not that shallow!” (I’m not that shallow, but the grip those catalogs had on me!!!!)

Now I know what to do with the two small canvas totes that were given to our family years ago and have been languishing in the basement. They are both a traditional light color, one with green handles and one with red. Thanks for opening up new possibilities for me to dress like a 90s J. Crew model (I was in college back then)! Happy summer, Erika!
