Whoa, shipping knocked me back there...

I wasn't expecting $15! Not that I'm complaining, it just took me by surprise, although I suppose I haven't bought 4 shirts at once before. Doesn't make much of a difference anyway though, considering the dollar is so weak (you go, economic recession!).

I'm thinking of buying Inside You, Clockwork Kit, and It's Always Midnight Somewhere for me, and Adorable Disaster for a friend, and I want YOUR opinion! I don't really know why, just after spending �190 on dresses online the other day I feel I should consult people before I make purchases.

I LOVE Adorable Disaster, I think Clockwork Kit is pretty cool too.

sirensrising on Mar 19 '08 at 9:06pm

Adorable Disaster is so cute, I think my friend will like it although it seems a bit girly? His main present will be a toaster and bread but since this is only like �5 I thought I'd throw it in there too.

I love how the figure drops by 20 after the conversion.

ladykat on Mar 19 '08 at 9:18pm

I don't know, I have it in the hoodie and my husband thinks it's awesome... I think he's plotting to steal it!

I'm also plotting to steal LK's sweatshirt

sirensrising on Mar 19 '08 at 9:30pm

Oh-ho...maybe I'll steal my friend's tshirt!

The one I'm least sure about is It's Always Midnight, because I don't know that it's quite my colour and I always complain about having too many tshirts so maybe I shouldn't buy three more...but they're so cheap...

it's always midnight looks so so good. i bought it!

adorable disaster is also awesome...i mean, they're so adorable!

*places hoodie under lock and key*

Ooh, I just checked out It's Always Midnight... it's pretty damn awesome. You could wear it all year round, but it'd be particularly spectacular around Halloween.

But I hear ya on the whole having-too-many-tees thing.

i love It's Always Midnight

sirensrising on Mar 19 '08 at 9:48pm

They are extremely cool designs and fit, and very good prices, but sometimes I get really annoyed that I have no "pretty" tops. And sometimes I just feel like a giant boob in tshirts.

Although I just compiled a spreadsheet of all my dresses (oh yes) and apparently I have over 25 so I guess tshirts aren't exactly my main problem.

OMG, you must have picked the express shipping by accident. Mine was ~$6 for 5, snailmail.

sirensrising on Mar 19 '08 at 10:00pm

I bought them all anyway, hurrah. Now I will celebrate with nutella on a rich tea biscuit and going to bed because it's 3am. And I should probably go to the bank to prevent dressmakers, Threadless or MAC from taking any more of my money.

sirensrising on Mar 19 '08 at 10:01pm

Nah, I'm international :) It was either $15 or $11, I figured the difference was so miniscule I might as well go for the quicker shipping.

ladykat on Mar 19 '08 at 10:03pm

Btw, now that you've bought 'em all, if you're feeling like you want something prettier/sexier, you could always do some DIY stuff to your shirts...

I bought a guy's 2XL and made it into a nightie:

And I've done more basic stuff too, like chopped the neck and sleeves:

(ignore all the sharpie)

Keter on Mar 19 '08 at 10:06pm

Oh, international...in which case that wasn't so bad. I'm glad you got what you wanted. I only have 4 dresses, but still an overstuffed closet (suits mostly). And a whole drawer full of tees. Never too many tees. ;o)

sirensrising on Mar 19 '08 at 10:12pm

Ladykat, I love those ideas but I'm so crap at diy-ing my clothes...mostly I just try to wear them with cardigans and skirts or pinafores. Yours look great though!

ladykat on Mar 19 '08 at 10:14pm

I'll admit that the nightie takes a little work, but cutting the neckline is pretty easy (and the sleeves)... sometimes I use other shirts with round necklines I like as a pattern.
