Nostalgia hit me in the Costco clothing aisle. I bought the $17 Esprit sweatshirt and love it.

The author bought an Esprit sweatshirt from Costco. Courtesy of the author A friend told me Costco was selling Esprit sweatshirts, a brand I loved growing up. I rushed to the store and bought one. My family didn't understand why I was so excited. Wearing it reminded me of who I was before I became a wife, mother, and everything in between. I grew up in the 1980s and early '90s, when Esprit's bright colors and bold lettering made the brand instantly recognizable. Growing up as a girl can be hard, and wearing the right thing mattered. When a friend told me Costco was selling Esprit sweatshirts , I knew I had to get one. I looked online. Sold out. I rarely go to Costco because I can never buy just one thing, but I made an exception. I took my 10-year-old son with me that evening.
