Wait, wait, wait—as you pull back from your computer screen, revolted—“this is not fashion!”
Oh, but it is. You see… I got it on etsy. AND… it’s 21 years old.
Why they hell are all concert t-shirts black? How did I get away with wearing this to work? And didn’t I give this to Rob for Christmas? Mysteries to chew on while you rummage around your kitchen looking for wine.
I decided crappy music t-shirts (as in, real ones; not Trunk LTD* recreations or $400 luxuries from What Goes Around Comes Around) are like big game hunting. It’s about the pursuit. You sweat your b’s off earning the right to one, leave the ordeal hard of hearing—needing desperately to grip that proof of your conquest in your hot little hands. No offense to P.G., but I’ve never known what to do with my taxidermic bad taste once I bring it home.
Alors, I banked on someone else’s regret with this $24 t-shirt—as previously mentioned, on loan from Rob. Innyways, y’all, it’s my favorite band, not his.
[Worn with Made With Love bracelets, a Shaashi necklace, Miu Miu clogs, and Current/Elliott Elephant bells.]
I decided to consult with P.G., the British rhino, on the matter:
Hey, Peege, how’s my t-shirt? In poor taste?
Have you ever seen Spode eat asparagus?
No…?
Revolting. It alters one’s whole conception of Man as Nature’s last word.**
There you have it.

*I just remembered I bought Rob an awesome Lynyrd Skynyrd Trunk LTD t-shirt with a pack of smokes on it for Christmas 4 years ago. Time to renege on that little arrangement!

As we speak I am wearing a black Led Zeppelin tee that I found at my local Goodwill for about a buck fiddy. Don’t hate the playa…
Merci!

ha! no hate… I adore the shit out of this thing.
great outfit, i’m wearing bells and clogs to work today too, helps me feel a bit better about being a computer monkey 🙂 i have exactly 1 concert tee, once my boys get a bit older, i plan on amassing a larger collection, what a great thing to pass on to your kids!!
Def thought [for a v. quick second] that you had chopped all your hair off. Silly. I’m actually surprised you don’t have 20 BC shirts – I love it.
I have a soft spot for band t-shirts since Tom’s favorite band is Iron Maiden and they come out with a new t-shirt every week – he wears them constantly and I’ve grown a little fond of Eddie, the scary mascot.
The only… um…. “band” t-shirt I own is a Justin Timberlake shirt I bought on his last tour back in 2005. Soooo……
i love that rhino so much..i want a pig version!
cutest outfit ever!!
Trunk does some killer shirts! I love my Harley ones!! I love old T’s! Great find!
sho does. so much so that I had to buy one in an XS (I will never be an XS) because it was the only size left in the Doors one. I still stretch that thing out and wear it… on good days.
On NYE, my dressy outfit was a Grateful Dead tee-shirt and a tutu. Oh, and my boyfriend’s newest J. Crew sweater and my cloggs that are identical to yours. SOOOOOOOoooo
