We ALL have "that" piece of clothing!!

What am I referring to?

I am referring to "that" shirt that you refuse to get rid of despite the fact that it is SUPER old, you have cut the sleeves and the neck line because it fits a bit more snug that you remember it did in high school, it has holes in it, the letters or images on it are faded, but, "man, it feels so good!"
Or how about that pair of shorts that is completely fringed at the waist, doesn't even have the original string tie it came with, has holes on the inner thigh because of its wear and tear, but you just can't seem to part with it!

YEP! I know you are sitting there nodding your head with a big ol smile thinking about your favorite shirt,shorts,pants, socks or even shoes!

Well, a few months ago, I busted out with my favorite sweatshirt.

Some history, shall we?

I absolutely LOVE sunflowers! They are my favorite flower. I LOVE flowers, period, but that is my all time favorite. They just make me smile and I like that! I think I was in 8th grade when my mom and I were at a Kmart or similar store. (the details escape this aging mind....sad santa tears!)

I digress!

I saw this sweatshirt and I HAD to have it!

If you know me, you know I am FANATIC about the Holidays! Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fall and Winter are all SO delicious to me!! So when I start seeing Fall things in stores and ads(like I am seeing now), it completely makes my heart sing!! Well, I saw this sweatshirt and I saw that it didn't just have ONE sunflower, it has LOTS of them! SUPER SMILES! Then, to make it all better, it had the PEANUTS GANG on it!! (Reminiscing about the Charlie Brown specials that start in Oct and run through Dec) OH MY! My heart went pitter-patter! I was in love for the first time in my life!!! (OK, OK, a little dramatic, I know...but don't forget who's blog you are reading!)

I HAD to have it! And, my mom, always so obliging to my silly little shin-na-ni-gans, let me have it. Well, I am now 32 years old and guess what? I STILL have it!!

I was doing a few things here at the house and I threw it on with my favorite pair of knock-about boots. I walked downstairs where Corrie was in the kitchen and, just as I have come to expect from her, she looked at me and said, "don't move! I need a picture of this!" Of course, she doesn't want a picture because she thinks I am cute and wants to hold the moment like she does for Abby, she wants a picture so she can send to all my friends and family and they can have a good laugh! LOL! (ahh...I LOVE my sister!)

Well, Corrie! This one is for you!

My name is Lizzie and I wear old, crusty clothes that doesn't match and I will most likely never get rid of....EVER! (smirks)

SO...

Here you go world! This is me in my Sunday best!


I am hoping I will inspire others to come out and wear it loud and proud!!!
