What do you have hanging in your closet, folded in your drawers or armoire, that you enjoy wearing just a little bit better than the rest of your wardrobe? And when was the last time you wore it?
I have got this old long sleeve plain grey t shirt, maybe 3 or 4 years now. I swear I have not had a piece of clothing I enjoyed wearing more. Lately every time I put it on, I have this small internal dialogue (sometimes with old British accents)
Brain - "you know, the color had faded excessively and the fabric is wearing dangerously thin on the elbows and wrists in this gross misrepresentation of a shirt you've come accustomed to wearing time and time again."
Heart - "whilst what brain has said may be true, it cannot stop you from...getting down with your bad self as they say. No substitute exists for experience my dear brain, and this shirt has vast amounts. Carry on good sir. Carry on."
Brain - "Well played heart. Well played."
And so time and again I wear the shirt with pride. I mean the thing is versatile. I can wear it by itself, with another t shirt over it or under it. It hides minor spills with ease. Throw it in the washer and dryer without having to worry about it shrinking. I mean, how much more could I ask for?
So what's yours? I mean your clothes may not make you talk to yourself, but there is probably something you enjoy wearing more than the rest of your stuff. What is it, and how has it come to be? When did you wear it last, or when are you going to wear it again?
