I sigh as I try on yet another suit, “I’m sure this one will work, won’t it? Mother, please?” I cannot believe how many suits one person could need. All this work just for one ball… really it was just stupid. I had already tried on over 50 different ones and apparently none of them were, ‘Just right’!
