Does that back-to-school feeling ever fade? As someone who spends an inordinate amount of time in stationery shops, I’d posit that no, it doesn’t. There’s just something about September that feels like a fresh start – whether that’s cracking the spine of a new notebook or jamming your feet into shoes without toe posts for the first time since May.
Admittedly, going back to the office after a summer spent corralling children, drinking canned cocktails, or some chaotic combination of both is less thrilling than heading into a new class when you’re a kid. But it still brings that same mixture of trepidation (emails) and excitement (new shoes).
