You’re not too old for the party, but you do remember when it was better. You know the DJ, the host, and the back exit. Slightly overdressed, always prepared, and five Lower East Side nights away from “retiring.” Stamina is a skill. You always outlast the night.

YOUR UNIFORM:
Sunglasses (day or night), Chanel necklaces layered like Mardi Gras beads, a rare vintage silk party dress still on trend after all these years in your closet, tights because winter never stopped you, two scarves (one for style and one for warmth), tasteful pleasers, leather gloves, and an oversized Balenciaga City bag to carry it all.
