In Search of the Elusive ... & Perfect White Shirt



In my closet right now,

are seven white shirts.

(This doesn't include the ones presently

residing in the basement because

they're out of season.)

There are cotton,

cotton blend, silk, and linen

white shirts.

There are short sleeves,

long sleeve,

and 3/4 length sleeves.

(There are no sleeveless,

because sadly to say,

I don't really do sleeveless anymore.)

We won't even get into the

white tees, white sweaters and

white jackets I also have.

Yet I find I'm always checking out

the white shirts when I shop.

What is going on with me?

I'm looking for that

Perfect White Shirt,
which none of those seven
in my closet quite achieve.

I want that white shirt I can

wear with a pair of jeans

and feel "put together."

I want a white shirt that looks good

and feels good.
I want a "crisp" look but
not a starched feel.

It would be even nicer

if that same white shirt

could be dressed up on occasion too.

It's probably impossible to have

only one white shirt to fill all

my wardrobe desires.

But I keep looking for it,

 shopping for it,

and hoping for it.

Just this week I ordered this shirt from

Soft Surroundings.

Maybe this will be my

Perfect White Shirt.

Do you have one?

Note:  Since writing this post,
the above shirt arrived.
It's now repackaged and
ready to be sent back...
