My Big Fat Beach Wedding

shirtI received a beautiful, green shirt the other day from Friday Shirts in Nicaragua. They call it beach wedding attire, but this is an absolutely gorgeous shirt you could wear in any warm climate. I can see as how it is more of a "dressy" shirt than a casual one, but it really works either way.

It has these wonderful, tropical flower designs embroidered down either side and carefully-sewn seams at the bottom, collar, and sleeves. A truly well-crafted shirt, this thing would look great with khakis, dress pants (white or black), or jeans; like I said, it would really wear well for any occasion, whether just going out on the town or attending a wedding (which is technically what it's made for).

I ordered mine in this light olive and I'll have to admit, I was skeptical as to how it was going to look until it arrived. In fact, I got it Saturday (but didn't check the mail until Sunday) and left it in the package until I got home this morning because it was too cold to wear, even if I loved it. I am truly pleased as punch to admit that, when I got home and opened it up, you could have knocked me over with a feather!

Oh, and the packaging and shipping was great! It came in a flexible packaging, so it fit right into the mailbox, but was folded and wrapped inside, so it didn't get crumpled (it looks like I ironed it and I just took it out of the package and laid it across the back of the chair), so it was really affordable and well-packaged. Not to mention that I got the confirmation of shipping on either Wednesday or Thursday and it was here Saturday! I did not pay for 2-day delivery or anything, so I'm not sure you should expect that kind of turn-around, but it shipped fast.

Beautiful item. I included a picture from their website only because my camera is not working and scanning part of it wouldn't do it justice. This is actually a product I plan to wear as often as possible, come Summertime.
