When I was in Italy, I discovered by chance, the perfect mirror-cleaning cloth: a soft, old, worn-out, ribbed tank top. And who doesn’t have an abundance of them these days? (In Mielke World, the term “an abundance” always gets snickers; what we really mean is “a bu**load”.)
It occurs to me that, in the course of changing out my drawers for the new season, I should also be making rags. Oh wait, I blogged that before. (And in case you are thinking I’m a month behind the times in changing out my drawers, you’d be right except for the fact that it snowed ALL DAY Monday. Not that I mind. :))
Without further ado then, I declare today Rag Day, the day I go through my t-shirts and determine which are still worth wearing. What gets cut:
- Too short to tuck in and stay tucked in if I’m sitting on the floor.
- Stained, including underarm discoloration.
- Too low-cut to wear alone.
- Thin or pilled and worn-out looking.
There. I said it. Now I must do it. After completing this project, I will be heading to the inexpensive top store to buy fill-ins. (Some things, like t-shirts, are inexpensive to begin with and they wear out, so it makes sense to buy them new.)
Has anybody seen any cute square-neck tees around?
What a great idea – I might have to follow suit and start clipping. Re: square neck shirts – here’s a cute one from NY & Co at Northtown….

It’s amazing how rich having an abundance of good rags makes us feel. 🙂
That top is cute! Especially in pink, he hee, which I need alot more of. Perhaps I can get to the mall tomorrow or Friday. If I go Friday morning, maybe I’ll see some MOPS moms at the play area!
I saw some cute square-neck tees on sale at Chadwick’s online!
