T-Shirts And Red, White And Blue
Butterbeans, PeaceBang is very pleased to be able to recommend to you the Land's End catalog which is showing all kinds of lovely, well-made t-shirts that come in fun colors, are nicely cut and affordable! Now do yourself a favor and put all those stained and icky overworn tees in the rag pile. Go 'head. You'll feel better.
They have supima cotton t's from $16.50 and if PeaceBang's memory serves, Land's End makes t-shirts that don't fade the second you wash them, and they're not cut so big that you look like a line-backer with big hamhocks for arms.
Check out the ribbed tees on p. 24, which have a lovely shape to them, and a rather nice collar. Twelve bucks, my friends!
PeaceBang loves a good boatneck tee, so she was a bit disappointed to see that Land's End doesn't seem to know what a boatneck is. They show a scoop-neck tee in the catalog, and although it's cute and striped and has terrific 3/4 length sleeves, it doesn't have that French boatneck charm. So I would skip it; it's too informal for work.
PeaceBang feels that this spring is going to be all about very clean lines and a lot of crisp whites and blues, and even red, white and blue. Check out these fetching accessories from Target. I took the photo with my phone so the color is really lousy, but you get the idea. Cute bags with braid trim, and that cherry cotton scarf in the foreground just kills me. I bought one to wear in my hair during the summer. It would also be swell tied around a simple white or black bag:
The fact that PeaceBang is feeling very drawn to cheery red, white and blue accessories scares her quite a bit, because MotherBang used to dress little PeaceBang and SisterBang in red,white and blue ALL THE TIME when we were tiny lasses, complete with red yarn tied to the end of our pigtails. We were so cute. But because of MotherBang's devotion to All Things Navy, PeaceBang started wearing black when she was in college and never looked back. It is only within the very recent past that she could handle navy blue in her wardrobe at all, and apparently she is now also healed of her aversion to the combination of red, white and blue.
MotherBang will be so pleased. God Bless America.
Now, don't overdo it on these kicky little accessories or you'll look like Marlo Thomas in "That Girl."
