Do you have something that seems to have gone everywhere with you? Something that has the ability to fill you with confidence? For me, it’s a shirt I found while shopping for nothing in particular.
The black and white polka-dot shirt was waiting for me at the H&M in Portland a couple of years ago. It was spring break and I was looking for something new to add to my closet (I didn’t care much what it was). I remember looking around the store aimlessly when I saw polka-dots. I have always been a fan of polka-dots; I enjoy their fun and cute aesthetic.
This shirt stood out on the rack. I tried it on and instantly fell in love. I wear it all the time. The three-quarter length sleeves make it, my opinion, perfect for chilly spring and autumn days (my favorite).
In the time that I have had it. The shirt has seen everything from presentations to casual weekends. It is what I choose when I am in need of a confidence boost. Or when I just want to wear something comfortable. Even if I wear it with jeans and converse, I suddenly feel as if I have made some sort of effort (a great feeling when I have a day filled with lectures and homework).
It has become a staple in my closet. It’s gone on dates with me. It has been my go to on those mornings where nothing seems to fit or look good. When I pair it with boots, a jacket, and scarf, I feel as if I am a character in a TV show; a pretty fun feeling.
Even though it is just a shirt, for me it has become something more. Through good times and bad, it has been with me.
It’s important to have something that boosts your confidence. It could be anything, maybe a certain lip gloss, a favorite drink, or a song. The black and white polka dot shirt is that for me.
