Welcome to It’s Complicated, stories on the sometimes frustrating, sometimes confusing, always engrossing subject of modern relationships.
My friend Sarah and I were shopping for lingerie together, as a group activity, the way some people catch up over brunch. The two of us had already downed several cocktails when we slipped into the store in Williamsburg with seductively posed mannequins in the windows. The universe operates by different rules on a sunny Saturday afternoon in New York City when no one has other plans and you both have had an indeterminate amount of mimosa — maybe we’d get tattoos or septum piercings next, who knew for sure? But for now, lingerie.
