My boyfriend found this old shirt of his, it's soft and white, with fine pinstripes. You know, the kind of cotton that feels lived in, supple. It's the perfect garment for evening reading, and eventually falling asleep in, long after my eyes are tired and watery, and the book is creased in my cramped hand.
When he handed this shirt to me it felt like rediscovering something I'd lost. It felt familiar, somehow. I think that's when you know you've got it right, with clothing, or anything, for that matter - when you find something new, that feels old.
I'm currently reading If On A Winter's Night A Traveller by Italo Calvino, and enjoying these thin Jo Malone perfume testers as bookmarks.
Very sexy.

"I think that's when you know you've got it right, with clothing, or anything, for that matter- when you find something new, that feels old" So perfect, so true!
ReplyDeleteI think so! It's so great when you find something that is exactly right. I constantly find that if I buy something which is almost right, but not quite, it comes back to bite me!
DeleteI know exactly what you mean; I'm quite particular when it comes to shopping. I'd rather leave the store with one perfect item than a couple subpar ones. Also, I love a good button up mens shirt! They're both sexy and modest and look great everytime. This one has a wonderful oversize look to it; lived in and soft!
DeleteInteresting. I would like to check out that book you're reading.
ReplyDeleteit kinda looks like my high school uniform. i wish i still kept mine. i'd wear it the way you do!
ReplyDeleteps happy 2013!
I have that exact book. Same cover and everything. I love it! So witty and clever. Hope you enjoyed it.
