If I could magically be granted 3 wishes, I think one would be that my parents and aunts and uncles never gave away their '70s wardrobes ... I know that both of my parents and at least some of my relatives had sweet style, as old family pictures prove. Of course they didn't think it'd be worth it to hang on to articles of clothing, even sweet Bob Seger tour shirts, but, I would LOVE to get my hands on that collection.

One of the few shirts my mom did keep (her and my dad had matching ones, actually) is this '70s Jose Cuervo long sleeve raglan.


I used to wear it all the time and then stopped for a little bit, but I pulled it back out the other day. I love the graphic on the back.

Another shirt my mom kept is an old MASH shirt that says "Hot Lips"--I'll have to dig that one out, too.

Today I dressed up somewhat nicer for work, wearing the cardigan I posted yesterday over a button-up shirt, but the basis of the outfit was this t-shirt,


an old tri-blend Jerzees pocket tee that is really comfortable and that I got for super cheap. I tried to take a picture of the whole ensemble, but it came out blurry every single time.

So, did your parents have rad style way back when?

Story of my Life

I'm not even a basketball fan, but for some reason I am obsessed with this 1987 Lakers t-shirt Mat has:


So, needless to say, I was THRILLED to find this bad boy waiting for me at Value World on Sunday:


It's from 1992 but awesome. I love it.

Mat wore this shirt yesterday and took this photo from his new iPhone:


I can only say that I am insanely jealous and soon will have my own iPhone. His shirt is sweet, too, from the 1970s.

I also picked up a few other items the day I got the Lakers shirt, and I am sure I will post them soon. Mat managed to find a pair of Frye cowboy boots! Frye boots are my dream thrift store find. Unfortunately, they are his size, not mine. There are a few other things that top my list of dream finds, items that I would keep no matter how much I could get for them. That list includes:

• AC/DC Tour shirt (1980s or older)
• Prince Tour shirt ('80s)
• David Bowie shirt ('80s or older)
• Social Distortion t-shirt ('80s or older)
• Queen t-shirt ('80s or older)

Finding any of those items would pretty much make my life. What about you--what tops your dream list?

Oh yeah, and:
