MR. T!



















Ok, ok--rather than look ahead to the upcoming season to ready our wardrobes for what Fall may have in store, our latest blog posting concentrates on the here and the now. Clothing that practically screams summer fun: the T-shirt. Leave those Hanes to him--we've selected a few Tees that are crafty and creative for today's modern lady. While the T-shirt itself is older than beyond the turn of the the century (originally worn as underclothes) it was in the mid 1950s that companies such as Disney, began manufacturing the T as outerwear, and decorating the garment with printed characters. In the 60s, hippies took it the to outerlimits by tie-dying their T's a variety of rainbow colors. Later, in the 80s, the decade that gave birth to our favorite paradox: extravagant minimalism, messages were silk screened on the T. Today, the T is the ultimate fashion equalizer--the must-have to spice up any wardrobe--no matter what the season frankly. So, if you can't find your favorite Frankie Goes to Hollywood T or you just need to break free from your Fruit of the Loom rut, don't worry lady, we've got you covered.
