t-shirt nirvana



run and buy this t-shirt.

it's fantastic.
fan-TAS-tic.

(the picture makes it look like it's loose fitting, but it's totally not. the medium is the perfect snugness)

i have a hard time finding clothes. i want to look young and hip but i don't want to look like an (almost) 33-year-woman trying to look 18. i'm slowly accepting the fact that i am not tall, thin and willowy. that no matter what i weigh, i will always have a an athletic build. it's just the way i am.

so i decided to try a new tack this spring: instead of hitting the mall and the same 4 stores i always shop at (where i only find ill-fitting clothes), i bought some clothes from women's athletic/sporting companies: athleta, title 9, patagonia, ll bean.

these tshirts are from patagonia and they are the tshirts i've been searching for my entire life. you know how most people have the perfect little black dress? my mom and i have the perfect little white tshirt. and it's a constant and never ending search to find it.

i love this tshirt. i know it's silly to be this excited about a shirt, but good lord, when something fits and looks good and makes me look skinny, i have to give props. (and mom, i know you totally understand) :)

Dear Kristin's Mom - most excellent idea. There are lots of people who agree with you. If you find the perfect clothes, get a % from the website that sells it and set up your own online store. Then market it to like-minded people! There's no stock - it's all referred - and you can make a deal for shipping for your customers with the stores. It could work! You can even accept nominations for apparel to include! Wendy
