This Is Cool: A Children's Shirt That I Want To Wear

On days like today, when I can barely get out of bed because facing the East Coast winters is a little too much to ask, I turn to cute things to cheer me up. Like a video of a labradoodle jumping into a puddle with delight, or a video of a shiba dog avoiding a puddle with disgust (they are very clean creatures). Lower on that list but still pretty high up is this lil t-shirt from Zara, which is apparently made for the kind of shy child who needs a little extra help making friends in the playground.

As a status garment it's got everything I need: embroidered English words written out of context, ambiguous shapes (are they ghosts? mountains? mountain ghosts? mountain goats??), and adorable faces with tiny mouths. Unfortunately, it is designed to accommodate a five-year-old child and not an adult 25-year-old woman, even if she happens to have the mind (and fashion sense) of a five-year-old child. 

But come on. How can you say no to this face??????
