Marianne: I was dreaming when I wrote this.

Do you ever dream about what you're wearing? Just me?

I dreamed I was wearing this outfit, so, you know. I mean, it was normal, not a banana suit, so I went with it.

In retrospect it kind of has a lot going on, but I think it mostly works. I bought this denim shirt at the Gap 10 years ago for $8 off the clearance rack and I love it. I wear it like a denim jacket but I like that it's not as bulky.

Marianne: Favorite.

Let me start by saying this isn't a favorite outfit. And it's also a lesson in Take Pictures In The Morning Before The Weight Of The World Shows On Your Face.

But it's a favorite shirt I've had this pretty Marc Jacobs shirt for...6 years? I think six years, if I do the math. Possibly even longer. I could not possibly love the fabric more. I'm trying to not wear it as often now because it's finally showing some wear. Just a bit of fading in the trim and pilling around the armpits. I think the cost per wear at this point is something like half a penny.

Close up of the fabric. The shirt is sleeveless and the straps are a coral pink. Even though it's sleeveless I prefer to wear it as a pop of color under cardigans in the fall and winter. The loose cut isn't as flattering on me without a cardigan to nip in the waist a bit.

So, yeah. Nondescript jeans and cardigan, cute shoe and sock combo that I forgot to document (argh), but a great shirt. Do you have a favorite or unique wardrobe workhorse? Do tell.
