Purple Plaid Flannel

[kybearfuzz]

When 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.

The Color Purple

Purple is still my favorite color. I have a purple shirt (solid, though), a purple sweater, and my last office was painted a light purple.

You look great in that shirt, Mark.

I like green also, although my favorite color is blue. Most of my favorite shirts are in earth tones, as well as my bath linen. I hope that you had a fantastic Thanksgiving! ;-)

I have always loved the color Purple. I was lucky that my high school's colors were purple and gold, so i tried to wear purple when I could. Do they have those shirts in big boy sizes?

Ordinarily, I am not a big fan of purple, but you make it look damn GOOD.
