T-Shirt Wearing Average Jane

Because I have little to no client contact at work these days, I quickly adopted the style of dress of the other "creatives" on my floor:  t-shirts and jeans.  I had a pretty good t-shirt collection when I started, but lately I’ve been surfing quite a bit for fun, new tees.

Here are some of my favorite stores:

  • Glarkware – I’m waiting for their "Good Grammar Costs Nothing" shirt to come back in stock in my size.
  • Threadless – Limited edition prints by a variety of designers.  I have the shirt that shows an octopus with a teddy bear in its tentacles and I get compliments every time I wear it.  Plus, I love their tagline:  "Nude no more."
  • White Frog has some nice designs.  I’m planning on getting one of the "Robot Anatomy" shirts.
  • Elsewares also has some cool designs, but they’re a little pricey.
  • Then, of course, there’s my own Average Jane boutique.  I’ll probably get another of my own shirts before I go to BlogHer in July, just to make myself more recognizable.  For everyday wear, though, I think it’s a little cheesy to wear my own blog’s shirt.  I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.

For the all-important long-sleeved layer for winter, my sister recommended the thin, long-sleeved tees that Target sells in the sleepwear department.  They give you sleeves without adding bulk.  I have about five different colors, so that takes care of me for a week at a time.

Do you know of a great online t-shirt source that I’ve overlooked?  I’m especially interested in shirts by artists and designers.

Update:  Another store I liked but had forgotten to bookmark was Johnny Cupcakes.  Now I see, via BoingBoing, that Urban Outfitters has ripped off their distinctive cupcake motif for a shirt design.  Not cool!

    But you blog anonymously. Unless you’ve outted yourself to co-workers, who cares? Actually that could be really fun…

    My Great Aunt P. must, MUST have that Glarkware shirt. She is always cutting out bad headlines because it pisses her off that newspaper writers have gone downhill. She also told me once that she “feared for the adverb”. hee hee
