What item of clothing is a staple of your wardrobe?
I wear black short sleeve v-neck tees way more than is probably socially acceptable.

You?

3. White tee shirt; not V-neck.
V-necks are for drunks and slobs, I heard.

16. I don't know
Something about us old ladies shouldn't wear them. I think the OP was stated anyone over 12 was too old to wear them. :shrug:

20. Mary Janes, black skorts and black scoop necks
I wear the skorts because they're easier on a bike than skirts and I really can't wear shorts to work.

I wear Mary Janes almost exclusively, with the occasional foray into Dansko territory.

I wear scoop necks because I have too much boobage to be happy in a v-neck, but since I have a nice, long neck and great collar bones, I want to show them off without falling out of my shirt.

21. Mostly underware and bluejeans are a given.
Everything else is a toss-up.

I take that back. On weekends I wear shorts, so the bluejeans on weekdays at work only.

30. Hoodies.
Edited on Thu Jul-13-06 04:17 PM by Ariana Celeste
Except for the summer of course. I've got several of them. The red one with the old school Nintendo logo is my favorite. I've got a white one, a solid red, light blue, grey, and black as well. I just love them. :).
