I've been wearing my own tees for so long that I don't really shop for tees. Lately, though, I've begun to stray.

On Wednesday, I bought a short-sleeve Tonal Stripe Crew t-shirt by Alternative Apparel at Argosy for an event. If you're not famiar with Alternative Apparel, check out their site. They're like American Apparel, but better. The styles aren't so played and it's not owned by that freakshow who's trying to be the Starbucks of overpriced basics. The fabric on the tee I got is amazing. The fit of the body and the cut of the neck are both really hot and all for only $28. Check it out.

Now onto the tee I really want, but even with the 20% sale at online store S|SENSE I could never bring myself to do anything other than drool over it and tell you all about it. It's the Two-Tone Dark Shadow tee from the DRKSHDW collection by the high priest of fashion at the moment Rick Owens.

Short sleeve scoop neck t-shirt with asymmetric two-tone panel construction. Lightweight cotton jersey fabric. Graphic print at front. Tone on tone stitching throughout. Signature logo printed at lower back. The weight of the fabric and the cut look amazing, as do the details, the color, and the graphic.

Check it out on S|SENSE's site. If you've got $237 burning a hole in your walled (minus 20% of course until 06.29.09) do me a favor and get it. If I can't have it, I at least want you to have it.
