I've been lucky enough for the past 20 or so years to have a job that doesn't require me to "dress up." I've become accustomed to wearing shorts, T shirts, flip flops and the occasional pair of jeans to work. I don't think I even own a dress now. It's gotten to the point where I feel a little phony when I have to dress for an event...wedding, funeral, or the like. And that just involves long black pants and a grown-up blouse!
But I get tired of the same old T shirts so every once in a while I get some new ones. This week I got an email from Crazy Shirts in Hawaii. I love their T shirts. They are good quality and stay soft after a lot of washings. I couldn't resist the offer of Free Shipping that was actually FREE with no minimum purchase. WOO HOO! So I checked out the clearance shirts first.
Right off the bat I found two long sleeved, colorful Ts. Yes, one even had a Peace symbol on it with seashells and turtles. Loved them both! Placed the order online and 2 days later, Mr. Fed Ex delivered them to my door at work.
I should have known this was too good to be true. Just let me ask this: In what alternate universe did Crazy Shirts devise their sizing chart? I normally wear an XL and I feel comfortable in it. I'm old so I don't really like to wear skin tight stuff. I'm going with "old" as opposed to "fat around the middle" so stay with me on this. As I tried on each shirt, I was happy to see that the sleeves were long enough. Sometimes I have problems with that. But when I pulled it all the way down, EEK!
I assume everyone that works at Crazy Shirts must be young, tanned and in incredible shape. And probably NONE of them wear anything larger than a medium. Sigh. Guess I should have shopped in the men's section instead of looking at the pretty colored, girly shirts. That's what I get for trying to get "dressy."
