Go Cougars!
Remember, preppies don’t smoke because it’s cool. We smoke because it’s what dad did.
Dear J. Crew,
How are things? It’s been some time since last we saw each other - nearly a year, I think! You seem to be doing well. I know it’s been a while since Mark left, but I think you’ve been doing well for yourself. I suppose you want some time to find yourself. Paul and I did the same thing after graduating. Well, actually Paul went to work at that media agency, but the point is I can understand the confused emotions and identity issues you’re going through. But I wanted to talk to you, about this splash of yours.
It’s not that I don’t find the model here appealing, it’s just that I can’t help but feel she’d be better off in a plain yellow cable knit sweater. I feel like maybe you’re going a bit too far into the trendy deep end, and losing sight of the real you underneath it all. Take your time but know that Muffy and I will always be here for you.
Yours faithfully,
Me.
P.S. I do like the glasses.
With a pair of Nantucket Reds and a button-down shirt. I don’t know what color yet.
I feel somehow reassured and vaguely excited.
I miss you already, Newport.
