I love hand-me-downs, hand-me-overs, or hand-me-ups. I don't care if clothes are new before I wear them. In fact, I passed some "new" jeans in the store a couple of weeks ago with so much wear on the front of the thighs that I'm sure my underwear would show if I tried to pull on a pair.
But this isn't about me. It's about 10-year-old Michael who was given some shirts from a shirttail-cousin-by-marriage. ;0)
When Michael discovered the bright colored golf shirts with horizontal stripes, he said, "I LOVE these!" For the next couple of days, he wore different bright golf shirts. "You know Mom," he announced, "these shirts make me happy. I can't help it. When I wear them, I'm always in a good mood."
If that's the case, then those shirts aren't going anywhere! They'll be "wear-me-outs!"

Hi Shirley!
So cool to find happy shirts like that. I have a few that way, that I just wear-out because they make me feel confident/happy/springy-in-my-step. Especially purple clothes...I'm kind of in a purple phase I guess.
:) You've just gotta smile. Mikey's always happy anyway, so I can imagine he must have glowed wearing those shirts!
Yeah, he's a sparkly one, that guy.
