While I was in San Francisco, one of my favourite tops died....It is rare that I wear something to 'death' unless it's a pair of my favourite shoes.
This top was by Custo Barcelona and had served me well in hot summers - it was my not too casual, not too dressy, not too skinny/fat top.....a reliable staple that wasn't too plain and not too fancy.
I do feel that maybe I was outgrowing it style-wise - since I couldn't put it away myself maybe it was best that it retired itself, even though I suspect it was from having it laundered in New York....the rip......No matter, at least it 'died' well in a New York laundromat - one of the cities of fashion!
