Shopping Miracle

I really lucked out last week.

Since I'm going on a road trip sometime in the future, I needed to find a long-sleeved, light-weight shirt, preferable white, preferable gauzy (because I like gauzy fabrics, and they're usually wrinkle-free). This is because long hours spent traveling in a car can cause significant arm sunburns if you take certain medications. I take one such medication, and was just about to tear out my hair. Why?

All the catalogs from which I buy clothing are into summer clothing sales. Summer clothing includes shorts, peddle pushers, and sleeveless tops, all of which I abhor, and some three-quarter-length-sleeved shirts, which don't suit my purpose of covering my arms sufficiently to prevent sunburn on them.

Then, on a day trip to the Valley, I spotted the perfect solution: a white tab-sleeved shirt (you roll up the full-length sleeves and use a little tab with a button to keep them at 3/4 length) in seersucker. I bought it a size big so I can used it to layer over another top or blouse, and now I have my wonderful skin-saver. Huzzah!
