All in all you're just another brick in the wall

New England stone walls- Resilient structures built between 1775-1825. They are found everywhere, sometimes spanning for miles. (SOURCE)
They are home to squirrels, chipmunks, toads, snakes, slugs, spiders, and other small creatures that live in the woods.
I thought I'd try my luck and just hope not to run into any creepy crawlers here.

(Thank god for the flat slabs of stone, because it was not very comfortable sitting on this wall otherwise.)
So this shirt has quite a bit going on with it...
It's sort of checkered, and then it's got a bunch of other geometric designs scattered about...and then it's got colorful medallion things thrown on for extra pizzazz.
You gotta love thrift stores. I don't know where else you would find such a distinctive gem of a garment.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  1. I know what you mean about the stone walls- there are a CRAZZZYYY amount in the woods near my house,and the weirdest thing is that they're all perfectly straight.

    I love New England and all its quirky things :)

  7. What a fun shirt! Lately I'm really attracted to pieces with a lot going on (pattern-wise). A top like this can really carry an outfit even without accessories. Just put it on with a plain bottom and boom - you've got some pizazz!
