I Want, I Want, I Want! (Gap Edition)

It is that time again where I like to bust out the clothing items that I can't wait to try on. Honestly, Spring is not looking like a big season for me, at least Gap-wise. And since I don't like shopping clothes anywhere else, it probably won't be a big clothing season for me for a little while. Maybe long enough to squeeze in a tattoo? Cross those fingers! Anyway, now that I have digressed, here are a few things that I have picked out that are to my liking for Spring 2012.

1. V-neck Pocket Tee (Gap)
  
Yellow Shooting Star. The color I should get. White. The color I will most likely get. Nasty green Kale. The color I will consider because I find it so repulsive. I like this shirt a lot, all the more so because of that non-functional pocket. Also, these shirts are 100% cotton!! Double upside!!! But the Gap is also purportedly coming out with an even slouchier shirt that REALLY appeals to my dirty Ke$ha sense of style.  (The Gap has really interesting color names for their clothing, as evidenced above. We, as workers, always get a kick out of it.)

2. Easy Pocket T
 
Let us talk about how SLOUCHY these tees are! They are so baggy and flowy and casual and have "F*** it, I'm a model-on-her-day-off-beautiful" written ALL over them. These shirts are the epitome of why I am going on a 3 year white t-shirt fetish. Now, let us discuss these names. Blue Opal, I can't tell this one apart from Milk, but I assume it is a variation of very pale blue. I'll let you know when I see it in person. Milk. The classic white, which, let's be real, EVERY closet needs.
Now, rain parade. These shirts...100% Rayon. :( I don't know if you've ever had a chat with Rayon, but if you haven't, next time ask it "Hey Rayon, what is your favorite thing to do?" I kid you not, Rayon will reply "Shrink." Cross my heart! I have 3 rayon shirts from last summer, they are now ALL "shrunken rayon". I cannot, for the life of me, remember to not throw a rayon shirt in the dryer. Because it's a T-SHRIT! 3/4 of the point of buying t-shirts is because they are such a low maintenance item. Rayon is NOT low maintenance! *sigh*

3.Topstitched Oversized Pocket Tee

Last...fall? Gap had a Chambray shirt that I LOVED! Loved, loved, loved. Yet, I was on the fence about it because the XS was a little too snug, but the S was a little to loose. I should have sucked it up and got the S. It is an item that I just CANNOT get off my mind. This is why I have HIGH hopes that this new, similar Chambray shirt will make me a wee bit happier...and help me move past the old one. :)

4. The Perfect Oxford

I think this shirt is TO DIE FOR in white. It is going to be a staple ALL Spring and ALL Summer, for MULTIPLE seasons. On top of that, it is SUPER versatile! You can dress it up for work or dress it down on weekends. It goes well with pants, it goes great with skirts. I can't get enough of it.

These next few items I hesitate to say I want, but I am very interested in how they fit/look in person.
5. Broken-in Straight Khaki
 
Blue Sky. Blue Galaxy. Verveine. These three colors...unique, unique pant colors. I'm not a khaki person, but these give me baseline hope because they're straight fit. Very intriguing all around.

6. Slub-knit Drop Shoulder Sweater

This sweater. In my head, I really want it in brown mystique mauve because it screams casual and versatility and Saturday-easy-comfort. But in reality I KNOW I can't wear neutrals unless I want to look like the living dead and based on similar sweaters of the past, I would be willing to bet this is going to be huge and oversized. And probably boxy to-boot.

Needless to say, I cannot wait to try all of this on. And purchase half of it! :) Salud!
