Party Season
Reading the J. Peterman catalog as a teen and coveting the Silk Taffeta Ball Skirt, I imagined that grown-up life meant lots of parties that looked like this, not budgets and grocery shopping.

Damn that J. Peterman for planting those unrealistic dreams of elegant adulthood! (I had the same problem, and I was reading the catalogs in my 20s!)
