TT Stage 1 W1D3: Fun With Threadless

I remade another t-shirt recently, this time a 2XL men’s shirt from the $10 Threadless.com t-shirt sale (which, by the way, ends tomorrow–Dec. 14–around 11 am CST, so go now if you are in the market for some fun tees).

Here’s my version of Paper Tiger:

Paper Tiger V. 2

I also made a pretty nifty twisted halter top for workouts from the cut off leg portions of a pair of workout pants I am turning into shorts, but a pic of that will have to wait until I can locate my camera again.

$15 off $50 at Maidenform Outlet Stores

If you are a male reader, you can ignore this post. Hmm…come to think of it, even if you are male, read this post and then pass it onto your girlfriend, wife, sister, etc.

So, while I am a fan of Champion sports bras for my workouts, I also love Maidenform’s One Fabulous Fit line of bras for everyday wear. These suckers are usually $24-$30 apiece at department stores, but I’ve found them for as little as $6 at my local Maidenform outlet store at the Orlando Premium Outlet center. If you have one of these stores nearby (store locator) you can snag this lovely $15 off $50 purchase coupon and load up on next year’s undies before January 1, 2007.

$15 off $50 at Maidenform Outlet

Yeah, yeah, I know Victoria’s Secret is the usual brand name people think of when it comes to posh undies, but honestly, their stuff never fits me properly. (Being a very deflated 34A with a wider, flat torso might have something to do with it. :lol: )
