Chambray Shirt

She hangs silently among her dressier siblings in a land of infinite options. Not drawing attention to herself, this one exudes a quiet confidence, a stability unmatched by the frilly sidekicks and high-heeled seductresses rubbing shoulders with her just inches away. She knows one thing and one thing only – she’s The One.

The others scoff at her simplicity. She is, after all, so basic. They jealously wonder how she could get selected so often.

A seasonless color and soft hand are among her beguiling attributes. Providing either strength or solace depending on the day, she delivers an understated high five or a comfortable hug.

Quietly elegant, with a personality just as well suited for work or play (or dressed to kill, if the mood suits), she’s a formidable player in a chic world. She ages gracefully, is loved by all and transcends social rank. Blending harmoniously with her closet comrades, she is absolutely everything to everyone, yet her gentle nature precludes arrogance.

It is a serendipitous day indeed when this dear friend enters (or re-enters) the fold. In her typical unassuming way, she befriends her wardrobe mates, taking her position at the front of the queue. She is, after all, The One.
