Instructions For Living A Life, Mary Oliver: Feminist Shirt

I have rarely identified with and found comfort in the writings of a person in the way I do with the work of Mary Oliver. She reminds me not just to ground myself in my body, but also in the world. To look around and notice my environment and my relationship with the other creatures in that same environment. She connects me with a younger version of myself. The version who would wander through the woods, joyfully get lost, search out all the interesting and strange dried out plants each autumn with the hopes of making some kind of strange, sculptural masterpiece. The version who sat in a field, holding onto a notebook, trying to write down all the things she noticed around her. The small spider jumping in the grass. The birds swarming from tree to tree in the hillside above. Once, a beaver wandering up from the wild wetlands to see if some kind of home could made in the practical mud puddle that was the farmhouse pond. The beaver eventually abandoned the pond. I sat still, watching after it left. I am still that version of myself. Mary Oliver ties me to her. 

This feminist shirt is lightweight, soft and comfy. It's perfect for hot summer days, and layering up as the weather cools off. The double stitching on the neckline and sleeves add more durability to what is sure to be a favorite! I have partnered with a fantastic print company to produce tees in FULL COLOR using the industry leading equipment.

Tee details:

♥ This is a gildan softstyle unisex tee made with 100% ringspun pre-shrunk cotton (sport grey tees are 90% Cotton/ 10% Polyester)

♥ Shoulder-to-shoulder taping

♥ 4.5 oz/y² (153 g/m²)

♥ Quarter-turned to avoid crease down the center

♥ My studio cat will not take a nap on your tee, and no patchouli incense either - it's coming to you directly from the printer.

♥ Your tee arrives at your door all tidy in a sweet lil' bag with that newly-printed smell. Give it a wash before wearing.

Customization:

♥ Pick your favorite apparel color to go with the full color design!

♥ Stronger contrasting colors will make for more easy to read apparel; lower contrasting colors will appear more subtle

♥ If you have questions about what colors might work best for you, send me a message and we'll come up with something awesome⁣

Tees are made to order directly from the printer, so I cannot offer returns. However, if you purchase the incorrect size I *may* be able to process an exchange. See details below:

Get A Good Fit:

♥ Compare the size guide for these tees to a tee at home for a good fit. Unisex tees are not fitted at the waist, and have a slightly wider and longer sleeve than a women's fitted tee (which looks stellar when cuffed, by the way!)
