I’d say I’m the quintessential “T-shirt and jeans” kind of guy.  There are two things that I’d like to collect; CDs/records are one of them and T-Shirts are the other.  With places like Target, Old Navy and other retailers pumping out so many cool graphic Ts, I find it hard to walk into department stores without finding a T-Shirt that I’d like to take home.   So today I walked into Old Navy to grab some free hangers and lo and behold, T shirts!  Not just any T-shirts though, I think Old Navy just created a new genre of T-Shirts.  Enter the “Dressy-T”.   A whole rack of Ts with Argyle, Stripes (that wrap from front to back), and various other styles ranging between $5 and $7!  I got so excited I had to exercise some self control. “Sir you can’t leave the store with that many items especially having come in with no intention to buy”, lol (talking to myself at this point).  My wife doesn’t think I could pull this off in the corporate world but that’s OK.  I agree with her when I’m thinking realistically, but for now let’s just pretend.  Nice pair of jeans, a “Dressy-T” and a denim or linen Blazer.   

I think the fashion designers at Old Navy are on to something.  Pretty soon our generation will be leading the corporate world and the next gen will be on the front lines with even more liberal ideas on fashion and politics.  And then T-shirts will rule!
