ReplyDeleteI've bought gramicci men's shorts for my hubby for years..comfort extraordinaire...
apparently some comments are not appearing. it's happened before. if you have trouble, let me know--i will report to blogger.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a shame that just when your favorite clothes get to the point where they couldn't feel any better, they wear out. I have often wished I could buy clothes off the rack that were already broken-in, especially shoes! I enjoy shopping at thrift and consignment stores for this very reason (although I don't buy shoes there). There is something special about textiles that have been lived with/in for a while...the patina changes and mellows. I also really enjoy bee balm. The plant in the background are a bit blurry, but it appears to be scaevola (sp?), fan flower. Hummingbirds love both of these blossoms; do you have a lot of little them visit?
ReplyDeletelisa, have you tried the women's gramiccis?
ReplyDeleteand, except for the store small, i like new clothes. i like them growing old with me. i hate loosing some of them when it's time. and for me, they're new, whether or not they're thrift store finds--ts has a smell i also have to get rid of.
