Valley of Tomorrow

"I am a troubled mind, I am a calloused heart. A failing engine from driving way too hard. I was trying way too hard. I pulled a 38 out of my bleeding heart. I killed my selfishness for bringing me this far....this far away from you." - NeedtoBreathe

I just have 3 words:

The tri-blend tee.

Well, I guess it's more of a 4 word hyphenate.

If you know me, or have met me at least once, than you know I LOVE these shirts....if there is a word bigger than 'love', I may feel it for these shirts. I live in them. They don't shrink, they are sooooooo soft, and just fit perfectly. They can be dressed up or dressed down. I've worn them to sleep in, to run in, and have even worn them with heels and sparkly jewelry. I first discovered these shirts while in Baltimore at the Johns Hopkins Barnes and Noble. It was my last week there and I needed to buy some souvenirs. I came across this shirt that was gray and had the word "Hopkins" across the front in navy blue outline in white. This shirt was so soft, I told myself that it was worth the $22 because it was a souvenir for myself. Little did I know, an addiction was manifesting within me.

True story: next thing I know, I've bought an OU one....then another OU one. Then when asked if there was anything I wanted for Christmas, I said "tri-blend t-shirts". No lie. The reason I asked for them as a gift? THEY ARE EXPENSIVE! The 2 OU shirts were at least $20 a piece but I talked myself into them because they were OU and I'd have them forever! A pack of solid colored ones from American Apparel is about $60......Now, if you don't know, let me just tell you - I do NOT spend ridiculous money on clothes. If a shirt or a dress is more than $10 or $15, I put it back. People who waste money are crazy in my opinion - so I got 3 shirts for Christmas. But wait, there's more! Then they came out with V-neck cuts! Wait, what?!?!?! I LOVE V-necks!! Not to mention, they had a purple one! Well next thing I know, I've purchased a 3 pack - don't judge me - it was on sale for $50.......I know, I'm shaking my head too.

So here is the problem. The only place I can find them is American Apparel and they cost too much. I can find tons of athletic ones and collegiate ones at various stores, but I have enough of those. I need a nice $5 tri-blend tee.....is that too much for a girl to ask?
