They don't have that 'wrong' element of Desigualness.

I think the answer would be depends on my mood. I am moved only to wear words when I am in a bad mood as a way to show my grumpiness. Perhaps I would not feel a need to act grumpy. The Ashish shirt I wore in Grey Magazine said "Having a shit day, thanks". I so wanted to keep it and as you say it has got to be sequins or something other than words on cotton for me.<br /><br />Accidental Icon<br />http://www.accidentalicon.comAccidental Iconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489974728457169534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-75426905420135266582015-05-08T03:09:00.883-07:002015-05-08T03:09:00.883-07:00Not a fan of writing on shirts in general for me, ...Not a fan of writing on shirts in general for me, unless it is witty or mine!<br />Probably wouldn't wear swearing because I don't...raised on missionfield, nuff said!<br />Happy etc only on women is insulting.<br />Gorgeous post with TEACUP dress.

I guess it's not my style?<br /><br />It's like Ulla-Marie says, you can easily end up in situations where the writing is totally inappropriate.<br /><br />I'm also confused by the "happy" t-shirts - is the wearer happy, or am I as a "viewer" expected to be happy by just being the word? Because I'm not! <br /><br />On the other hand, there's a bit of anarchy in the "having a shitty day" which I like. Then there's some middle ground - not so long ago Judith, the Stylecrone wore a t-shirt saying "Old is the new black", and I really liked that. I actually might try and get one myself...<br /><br />Your silhouette in the teacup dress is very elegant, like a Japanese woman in a traditional kimono. The print and colours are fantastic, you've done an amazing job finding the bottom prints, they're perfect!

The only words t-shirt I have has a statement that I've been to a naked spa, it was hard to not buy it just because I LOVE a naked spa. I also have a purse which has inspirational writing on it, and it's art, in my opinion (I showed it in this post - http://inthewriterscloset.blogspot.com/2014/05/not-with-chalk-but-with-soul.html). So I don't really wear such stuff, but if for whatever weird reason I had to :) - I would choose happy, inspiring and witty (Oscar Wilde would suit my fancy just fine). I do have different moods, including shitty moods, but I do not want to make statements about my shitty moods. I look for light, in life or art or clothes. <br /><br />Lots of love xxx<br />Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-6831635781209420992015-05-07T13:39:43.061-07:002015-05-07T13:39:43.061-07:00Gawd, no slogans at all for me, ever since I worke...Gawd, no slogans at all for me, ever since I worked as a food sales person and had 'try before you buy' on my left boob I haven't felt ready, it all seemed to attract too much unwanted attention - Dave wears the slogan tee's and the kids (imagine lot's of surly teenage angst, I'm very fond of them) x x xPeaches McGintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10431944936195385931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-79715394522514694972015-05-07T13:16:39.136-07:002015-05-07T13:16:39.136-07:00I have no problems with swearing, but I'm not ...I have no problems with swearing, but I'm not keen on slogan t-shirts.

Well, I think I am much more a happy T-shirt person :) I bought one that has "Good vibes" on it and I got a "you can't wear this T-shirt, Good vibes on that place? People will misunderstand you". It was right... I am a bit (just a bit) shy and avoided the Tee, but I will wear it again one day. I embroidered another one, with letters W and B and in the middle "icth" :) So, witch or bitch, that was the most I could do. I confess I have a Celine logo T-shirt, but it's mostly because it was to think of my grandmother's name. As I said, great post that makes us think!<br />DenisesPlanet.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122746266523712176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-44147587764391701762015-05-07T01:12:55.046-07:002015-05-07T01:12:55.046-07:00Difficult to match garments with mood because the ...Difficult to match garments with mood because the sentiment can be changed during the day.

I guess I'm trashy like that. <br /><br />I think that the vast majority of swear words have lost their punch. Used to be when I was a kid you'd get your mouth washed out with soap if you even said "Damn". Now though you can turn on any TV station or radio even and hear swear words being thrown around like rice at a wedding. No one cares anymore. It is mainstream. Half the time people don't even register that it is a swear word. <br /><br />I wear my Badass blogger tee...lots of people would consider that a swear word. Heck I'd even wear a "happy" tee. Even one of those minion tees from Disney! I quite like slogan tees. Most days when I'm at home I'm wearing a tee and jeans. Today I'm wearing a tee from Universal Studios that has the pug from Men in Black on it. I'm a sucker for anything with a pug on it. <br /><br />And now I have officially written the longest comment ever.
