Love this! And I can so relate to concert shirts I can't believe I lost along the way. (Note to younger readers--save some of your favorites for your later years.) I also enjoyed the "many versions of Melissa section"--great stuff.
Ahhh I felt all of this so much. I cut the tee from my first Oasis concert (1997, Philadelphia) to include it in a precious t-shirt quilt I have yet to actually sew together. When it came time for the reunion tour last year I felt a weird regret for the exact same reason: I wanted to be able to wear that almost-thirty-year-old ringer tee to the show, perhaps to impress the one person who might recognize it? Or maybe just more for my own nostalgia. I spent a few days feeling a surprisingly strong yearning for the whole piece.
In the end I wore wide leg jeans, a lil crop top, and an oversized flannel. Weirdly similar to how I might have dressed for my first Oasis concert, but so far removed that all those things are now coming back into style. Which is its own statement I guess 😂
Thanks for the shout out!!
