Oh so cheap!

This cross is made up of spiky studs…. I am always weary about buying things with studs because I like to hug people.
Can one hug someone with a spike cross on your chest?
Also I feel like that should be a lyric in some The Gossip song.
The end.

The first thing that came to mind with this shirt is “Alice in Wonderland”. Don’t ask me why. I don’t even know if a lot of the characters in the movie wore polka dots, but that was the first thought that popped into my head.
The second thought was “ooooh! a polka dot shirt!”
And that was the end.

So I have to give credit where credit is due….one of my very dear friends mister David Bown came past my office the other day to show me his brand new car… but not only did he show me his amazing new car, he was also wearing this amazing black shirt from Zara with flower prints on it.
Well I got it in white.

Take a plain red shirt and add some pattern material and what do you get? A very nice cheap shirt from Markham.
The printed material makes me think of some wallpaper one of my friends had when i was a little boy. I think back then it was cowboys and indians.  Not sure what the images are in this pattern, probably not cowboy and indians because it would be politically incorrect in this day and age?
Either way it’s a nice shirt, even if you aren’t politically inclined.

Those of you who follow my blog know that I love those 3 quarter sleeve baseball inspired shirts, which all seem to have found a home in Cotton On.
Anyway, I found another cousin of the basket ball shirt at Cotton On. This particular cousin is like the cousin from the deep south, the redneck cousin, the one who is probably most fun out of the whole family. 
So enjoy your trip to the deep south

So I decided to wear this amazing shirt to a gallery opening the other night. One of my very special friends Mister Stephen Graham had his first solo exhibition and I decided it would be the perfect time to debut this shirt as well. On arrival the same Mister Stephen Graham asked me why I am wearing a curtain to his event……
Yes he was joking but it made me start to wonder what other household things I could wear and call it FASHION!
Back to the shirt, how amazing is this print? Yes it might look like the material came from that old couch that your grandmother loved. But I think it is beautiful… and especially for winter it will look amazing underneath a blazer.

I feel like I can never find the right pair of shoes. Ever. And because I am so picky about shoes I end up never buying any. Ever. But lately I have found the nicest shoes at Cotton On. AND what is even more amazing is that they are cheap.
Ok all I can thing about is Penny from Happy Endings saying “Amaaazung”

It’s times like these that I realise what a big impact Austin Powers had on my life.
I love gooooold…..

So it is Valentine’s Day, and i just realised the shirt I am posting is red… which is completely planned of course!
Anyway, it has tiny bicycles on it…. I mean how cute?
Makes me think of cycling around in Paris, while eating baguettes and cheese…or something like that… maybe even an espresso, this is all happening while I am cycling of course.
Happy Valentine’s day!

Ok, this might not be that cheap BUT this shirt has a LEOPARD PRINT COLLAR. I don’t even think I need to justify it any further.
And also you can wear this in autumn and then in winter underneath a jersey or a cardigan… so basically you can buy this shirt for all seasons.
I LOVE IT.
