I’ve wanted to visit this blast from the past for a long time. At least several decades probably. I graduated high school when Charlie perfume, Earth shoes, and the Bee Gees (their second time around) were big.

I wore this skirt for my high school senior picture and also on stage for my role in our drama class’s spring production.

Yes, that’s a grainy profile picture of me wearing the skirt, complete with upside down glasses. Yes, they really were a thing back then.

I’ve kept that skirt through...
