I’m a t-shirt lover. I admit it. Although I TRY to be stylish, and even buy fancier things from time to time, it’s the t-shirts that I wear on a daily basis. But I’m picky. I like them not too tight…not too loose. Flattering and shaped, not a big ugly box. Not so heavy that they’re warm in the summer, but not so thin that you can see through them. Not too long…not too short. Oh, and I like a nicely finished neckline. I also have bigg-ish arms, so I like a high neck in a sleeveless top.
Enter the Land’s End 1×1 Rib Tee. I discovered these a few years ago and they’re my staple. I buy them in bulk – short sleeved and sleeveless in the summer…long-sleeved in the winter. They’re amazingly comfortable, and hold up after a gazillion washes. I wear the white ones to my sessions (human reflector, anyone?) . I wear them so often that I buy a new supply every season and demote the previous group to pajama and yard duty (hey, it’s pretty hot here in Georgia, so white Ts have a finite lifespan, if you know what I mean…)
I just got my summer ’09 delivery last week. I waited for one of Sears’ frequent sales + free shipping and for around $120 I bought 13 shirts – 6 white for work, 4 sleeveless in a variety of colors, and a few others to mix it up. Oh, in size small (had to throw that in there).

Modern Rib Ts (I have a couple of these, still deciding if I like them. They’re thinner, longer and more fitted. Jury’s still out)
Happy shopping!
