Your Favourite Article of Clothing

I'm sitting here wearing my favourite t-shirt. It's one that Magpie gave me. This one, actually. It's witty, it's obscure and it references an 80's pop song. Nobody gets it without explanation, but I love it anyway.

Who else has a favourite item they want to share?

I love that song!

My favorite article of clothing changes from one week to the next.
A the moment I love a skirt that a friend gave to me. She made it by sewing together samples of upholstery fabric, mianly in gold tones.

I don't know if I would have understood it if you had not mentioned that it was a musical reference, but with it, I got it immediately.

My son (or rather, my wife, since he was very young) got me this for Father's day:

currently, my favorite article of clothing is a salmon pink short-sleeve cashmere sweater I found at the Salvation Army...I feel like Lana Turner circa 1949 when I wear it.

My summer-weight little black dress. Black linen, A-line, sleeveless. Timeless, classic, and can be worn a thousand different different ways. I absolutely love it, and when I put it on I feel sexy and chic.

Martian, I can't believe you have to explain that one! Sheesh!

I wish I had a favorite item of clothing. I don't really think about them that much.
I do feel most comfy when I slip on a certain pair of jeans and my reefs I've had for a long time and I do actively seek them out sometimes. But, I don't get attached to clothes. Maybe I need better clothes.

I have two favorites.

My favorite t-shirt is this cheap, teal green tee from Old Navy. It says "No shoes, No Shirt, No Problem" in borderline indecipherable white lettering. I love it.

My favorite sweater is a navy blue cardigan. I wear it as much as possible.

My best female friend has a periodic table of the elements shirt. Come to think of it I should probably get her a new one, she has nearly worn it out.

At home I go without clothing as much as possible.

I don't really have a favorite; I find all clothes equally restrictive and uncomfortable. I have some tailored shirts that get close to being comfortable ...

I have this green polo shirt from Mossimo that I love. It's made of this stretchy cotton that's almost like jersey. Super comfy and I look nice when I wear it--a combo that cannot be beat, in my mind.

Martian, that is a totally awesome shirt.


One of my favorites is a t-shirt (brown, of course), that says "Browncoat" on the front and "I aim to misbehave" on the back.

I also have a long-ish black tanktop that seems to work with my body, instead of against it. Supercomfy as well.

For lounging around, I have a grrrrreat pair of Bengals flannel pants. They rock.

I currently have a black and pink striped tie that says 'girls rock' on it...I rather like it.

I also have a bright purple shirt-top that I'm told really suits me and I like that too.

Ask me again tomorrow

Seriously. It must be nice having the option of allowing the breeze to circulate around your naughty bits on a hot summer day.

My favorites always end up getting stained or torn before their time, and then they're no longer favorites. I currently have an ex-favorite black and white baseball tee and an ex-favorite plaid shirt.

It is. :-)

I do feel bad for guys in the summer, particularly those I see at work. I can get away with a light-weight dress, and those poor bastards are stuck in coat and tie.

I also want an entire album of the Electric Mayhem covering songs. The couple of tracks here and there on Muppet albums are completely insufficient. But I'm not going through all the DVDs to compile all of this: Songs Performed by the Electric Mayhem.

(Isn't it "Fur sure... really"? And it is definitely "Dr. Teeth".)
