Yet Another Shirt on My Back

    So, I took the day off from work yesterday for a little shopping trip.  Among the things I got was a shirt, adding to my overwhelming collection.  Seriously, I've got almost forty shirts to wear every day for the summer, not counting an extra thirty or so for winter, nor the dress shirts that I never seem the need to wear any more.  This also doesn't include the old shirts that I just wear around home.  Any way, this new shirt is a dark purple.  I believe the shade might have been called 'eggplant' online.  Yes, I took a look at what was available online before actually shopping at the physical location.  I was really needing a darker purple and a new pink to replace some older shirts, and I wanted to see what I could find.  I didn't order online, because I frequently have sizing issues with clothes.  In fact, this happened again yesterday.  I usually get a medium in this brand, most brands actually.  However, when I tried on the medium in a muted dusty pink, it was a little too baggy.  The small actually fit a little better, tighter.  This was actually a great thing for me, as the store was out of mediums for the eggplant shirt, only small and large.  I wound up not getting the pink shirt though.  Yeah, I normally get two shirts at a time, but I got talked out of it.  I did get a new pair of cream chinos though, to replace a pair that was getting a little old.  My new purple shirt really does complement my 'rainbow' collection of short-sleeved shirts.  I literally have a rainbow from red to violet, with a bunch of neutrals thrown in for variety's sake.  I have at least one that can legitimately be called indigo.  All types too. Tees, crews, henley, polos, V-necks.  I had been favoring one certain brand, Murano, the last few years, but I have been skipping out on them lately.  Sometimes, I just don't feel like buying the luxury brand, you know?  I still love them, but they didn't have the colors I was looking for this year.  The closest would have been a burgundy red, which I almost would have picked up, if I hadn't been wearing my maroon Murano that day, with Levi's. I just love the dichotomy of that.  The overwhelming majority of my summer shirts are solids.  One stripe, an ombre, a color block. [Excuse the lack of an accent mark.  My keyboard is acting up.  Instead of the accent choices popping up when I press down, the letter repeats instead.] My winter selection has more color blocking, but no real patterns. Still mostly solids.  I do have two dress shirts with cool vertical stripes in multiple colors, but I rarely wear them any more.  Probably not in a few years.  I call them dress shirts, but they would probably be too busy for suits in most formal instances.
