Do you ever have that one item of clothing you will never get rid of, no matter how long it's been? I found this shirt for 30 cents in a thrift store in 8th grade...and I still love it to death. It's so old- I mean it was already secondhand with holes in it that I had to patch up....now it's practically falling apart, and I don't even know if the faded sandy hue is the original colour, but I still love wearing it. It reminds me of Ohio, and my great friends there, it reminds me of who I was then, and what I've grown to be. It has the old storybook illustration from Winnie the Pooh on it(!), with my favorite blend of muted tones. I will never outgrow it...which is funny because the story is all about childhood and growing up...and I got it in the little boys' section. let's toast to favorite scrappy bits of clothing.

ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have clothes I can't let go of, but what is worse I don't wear them because I am afraid of them falling apart - makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteI love a good shirt with a story behind it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet t-shirt! I have a few things like that but I just can't let myself to wear them, it'd break my heart if they brake or anything bad happens to them, so many memories I want to keep while keeping them...
ReplyDeleteGirls that glitter love the dark

That shirt is so one of a kind!
ReplyDeletealso! If you don't already have one, you should get a camera remote, so you can just keep snapping after you get your manual focus set right!

That's so cute! I love that you've kept that shirt for so long because you love it! I do that too! And if it ever gets too ratty or ripped, you could always turn it into a pillow or pull it over canvas and make it into art!

ReplyDeleteAwww, this post is so sweet, and so is that shirt!
