quit trying to make chambritis happen.

i caught a fever-and the only cure is chambray! clearly, i've come down with chambritis. (no, this word is definitely not happening...unlike fetch) for reals though, i have a serious addiction. i recently lost a dear old j crew chambray top *RIP* to the well-worn gods but have still been wearing it under things, in a pitiful attempt to extend its life.

cut to the day i'm at work and doing some super unexpected manual labor and sweating like the proverbial whore in church. and i in no way can remove my top layer cause my chambrays got holes at the bust, at the shirt tail, pretty much anywhere i had tugged or pulled over the last year. woops.
so finally i says to myself, "self, you gotta replace that shirt" and i go online and find a seemingly perfect replacement at the j crew factory site. how perfect!

except for the fact that it wasn't perfect. at all. it was buzz, your girlfriend woof in fact. so back he went.

and just when i thought i may die in a beat up old chambray button down-heavens forbid i just go without this sartorial staple...i walk past an entire denim window display at h&m and find these two bad boys!

so pretty much the only ones left were in my size. and both of them together was less than the j crew factory one, and way less than the j crew one.

boom. chambritis cured.
