I bought this shirt dress in Lisbon, Portugal 5 years ago. Whenever I need to "clean up" I just throw on this puppy and I am spiffed and presentable! It is still going strong, but I find myself, thinking often, why is there not an audible fashion goddess, who, when you purchase a particular item of clothing, whispers, 'Buy three of these!!!!'??? I mean, obviously I have a thing for stripes...a girl can always use a snappy, modest dress...and something that never goes out of style, well, it never goes out of style! I know that you can never know for certain if you will or will not "wear the shit out of something", but, in my case, I certainly had a lot of clues. For one thing I like to paint patterns, so at the very least, I could always wear it for self-portraits!!! I bought this shirt dress in Lisbon, Portugal 5 years ago.
