My new banquet shirt by Arista Equestrian.
I had two in the same style. I gave them away because they were riding shirts & I wasn’t using them. [OOTD, Selfie Photography] 2024 & [Annual Outfit of the Day] 2025
This year, I wore my old/previous banquet shirt. [Winter Tournament Banquet] 2014
The neckline did not work with the undergarment. There was a time – the Madonna era? – when bra straps were trendy. I have no idea if this is still the case or not. Either way, I don’t like it. In the past, I have worn a turtleneck. Or pinned the straps perhaps? Either way, I forgot. I am likely to forget again next year. So I got a shirt. It is the same riding shirt as 2025, in a different color. Since this is specifically designated a banquet shirt, I will keep it even if I don’t wear it until then.
Sounds like a lot of shirts, but this may be the only clothing I have bought in the last three years. I exaggerate, but not by much. I have profligacies. What I wear is not one of them.
Onwards!
