First should i give it a name? Let’s say…hmm…something that sounds like a Friday: relaxing, the beginning of the weekend which comes with late mornings, breakfast in bed, a 2 hours coffee, a book, comfy PJs and an unmade bed. Oh i guess there’s no better name for this heaven on earth than “weekend”. Should i call The Friday Shirt – Weekend? Or The Weekend? :))
Anyways, yes, i have a Friday shirt. I wear it every week on Fridays. And yes, i have OCD, but that’s not the point. Let me tell you more about The Friday Shirt.
I got it for Christmas 2 years ago from some friends of mine. At first i didn’t like it because it wasn’t my everyday type and maybe two years ago i was more stiff and stubborn about how i should represent myself to the world ( by “world” i mean the people in the office) and wearing a shirt comfy as my PJs wasn’t an option because you see…i don’t wanna look cute, i wanna look powerful and bold with all my life together, no insecurities…bla bla bla <insert feminist talk here>
Also i’m not a morning person (the only reason i wait the next morning is to have coffee) and in the last 2 years i’ve reached that point in my short 25 years life when i would leave the house in my PJs and not wasting time putting some office clothes. < Error 404: Feminist speech not found >
Aaand this is point in which The Friday Shirt started to look interesting. Something socially acceptable, but loose and comfy.
Now I would wear it everyday but i would live a disappointment 4 days a week because there’s only one Friday. Oh and it’s not socially acceptable to wear the same shirt everyday…even if you wash it everyday. But these are our 1st world existential problems and we should not waste our time with them.
Well, still, it’s great to celebrate the beginning of the weekend this way with a simple shirt.
And also leaving the pressure off the other days of the week regarding my personal image and how my clothes make me look or how they should make me look.
Oh and the most important feature of The Friday Shirt : It’s the physical representation of my friendship with the humans that gave it to me: relaxed, off pressure, not clingy, a context in which i can be myself, cosy and all of the above about the weekend.
