Farewell My Striped T

Farewell My Striped T :: Tejas // Ina’s 1969 // Laser Lemon GelOn my last trip overseas, I took a striped t-shirt with me. It was very cute, with 40s style little puff sleeves and ruching on the sides.

About ten days in, and after its second laundering, I noticed it was starting to look unattractively pilled. Never mind, I thought: Out with the old – in with the new!

I had already purchased a classic black and white striped tee from Zara, for about €12. On the morning of my departure from Porto, I packed my bags and left the old tee behind for the maid to do with it what she willed. Lisbon awaited.
