When I was trying to figure out who I was and what I liked, it seemed outrageous that so many other people could come to the same conclusion. Finding a date to prom was literally a nightmare scenario, but I reveled at the chance to pick out a dress. Figuring out fashion became a way for me to gain confidence and experiment with who I was.
I lived in an affluent upper-middle class suburb where teens drove brand-new Hummers to school. My family was also well off, but my mom preferred bargain shopping to brand names. Plus, Vera Bradley bags felt like the preppiest possible purse, and I did not feel like a preppy person. Sorority sisters had matching Vera Bradley totes.
Homecoming queens had multiple Vera Bradleys. They were the equivalent of popping the collar of your pastel polo shirt. When my parents helped me move into the dorm my freshman year, we saw a group of women rushing for sororities, all dressed beautifully, lined up on the lawn.

I envied that on top of the popularity my shy heart secretly desired, they had the purse I wanted, too.
I felt like they were all just following a trend, whereas I wanted a Vera Bradley bag not because it was cool, but because I really loved it. Of course, that was nonsense. Turns out, people liking something I also liked was not a conspiracy to make me feel self-conscious.
