Purple Plaid Flannel
Nov. 26th, 2010 07:56 amWhen I was in high school, I declared my favorite color as purple. While the school mascot was red and all KY folk (except for Louisville people) bleed blue, I found myself drawn to the color purple (not the book, just the color).
When I was a sophomore in high school, I found this purple flannel shirt at a clothing store. It was oddly high priced and I couldn't afford it. My grandmother's friend was a manager there and she put it away for me until it went on sale and then I got it. I wore the shirt to death, even having my class photo taken in it. As time moved on, I outgrew the shirt and it got pretty shabby with the washings it took. Eventually it vanished, presumably into the rag box and then the trash.
On Wednesday, Mom and I went shopping all afternoon. Neither of us are much for crowds, so looking around before the crazy Black Friday sale stuff hit was a good thing. While looking at shirts in JCPenney, I saw this shirt in the new winter stuff. It's probably as close as I could get to the shirt from high school. The plaid pattern is smaller than the one I had before, but the colors are dead-on. So now I have another purple plaid shirt to wear when it gets cooler and I'm feeling nostalgic.
Of course, nowadays, my favorite color is green.
