L’Armoire Idéale: white shirt – seven ways

This book has all kinds of interesting suggestions in it!  One of the things that the authors do is to take a simple garment and suggest seven different ways to wear it.  Now bear in mind, some of these are not necessarily something you or I might wear, but they are thought-provoking, and that has some value, right?

A possible answer to yesterday’s mystery…

I'm fighting the beginnings of a cold - FOUR DAYS before leaving on vacation.  (isn't that the way of it, sometimes?) But through the Lem-Sip fumes, I had one intelligent thought:
