Growing up I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up.
Choosing that one thing seemed a bit limiting to me.
I always got stuck in those exercises where we had to go around saying what we wanted to be when we grew up.
I envied those who just knew, and wished I were a little like them.

One thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to wear nice button-down dress shirts when I grew up.
I’ve always loved those classic tailored oxford shirts. They seemed like the ultimate grown-up clothes.

June, a popular girl in my class wanted to be a marine biologist, I thought she was so cool I wanted to be just like her – except I wasn’t sure whether I’d get to wear dress shirts as a marine biologist.
