Stroll With the Punches

Today's blog is brought to you by Wooshka and their current sale. Or, is brought to you by me on Wooshka's behalf. Though Wooshka could certainly sponsor me if they wanted. I like money. And shirts.

Wooshka also likes shirts. Limited edition shirts. Wooshka's shirts are custom made (and fit approximately like your standard American Apparel), which means, hypothetically, they could print anything you wanted to design. Don't quote me on that if you send designs to them. It's just hypothetical. They also also like money, and sadly this shows, as well... not that their prices reflect greed, but when you're making your own shirts, and keeping them to pretty limited editions (500 a shirt, to be exact) you're just not going to have the profit margins you need to keep being awesome unless you charge a little extra green.

To that end, however, when Wooshka has a sale, they freakin' mean it. Their current sale runs until Friday (EDIT: Sale has been extended until the 24th), but slashes prices on everything by at least 40%. That's $9-12 on shirts that normally cost $20+. Think that's good? Their last sale, everything was marked down to a dollar! While I wouldn't hold my breath on another of those any time soon-or-ever, the current sale is definitely one you should check.

The con to limited edition, of course, is that things sell out, and the thing I wanted this sale did just that. However, I would love to recommend the shirt I scored from their dollar sale, "I (Heart) Strolls" by the jnthn prjct. It's pretty simple, and totally cutesy, and that's all it needs. The colors are subtle and light, the stripes make for a definite focus and extend far enough that they don't sit awkwardly, and the monster dude is awesome. Seriously, how badass must strolling be if that dude hearts it?

Ok, admittedly I disagree with jnthn's creature... I'm pretty big on sits and rides, but strolls I can take or leave. But he looks so happy on his jaunt that it's tempting to try it out. The lines help create a bit of movement that the creature itself doesn't evoke, which helps the theme, and there's a little bit of a smirk behind the idea of wearing this out while walking around, which is how I recommend this. No one's going to care about the irony of wearing this while you lounge at home. Save it. Throw it on and go walk somewhere. People will notice your tasteful shirt. Others will catch the joke and smile. And really, this shirt is about one big goofy smile.
