Who isn't fed up of this ****ing cold weather? The sun shone for a few days and we all felt like little daffodils with our bright faces turned to the warmth, but then it buggered off again and left us with our winter coats of flaky spotty dough-skin.
Ahem.
When I feel a case of the grizzles coming on, a quick trip to Uniqlo can often perk me up.
Today I bought a big lovely hoodie (hug a hoodie!) which I can wear both for trotting round the park and to keep the chills at bay while working at my little desk in the attic. The hood is useful for keeping the draught off my neck, and for frightening the neighbours.
I have several pairs of Uniqlo jeans, and Herself and I have relied on their T-shirts for years. If you're a sartorial idiot like me, destined to spend the rest of forever looking like an American grad student, Uniqlo can provide the essentials, and add a little touch of class. If you're a sartorial genius like my BF, a giant stripy T-shirt from Uniqlo can be anything you want it to be. There's always good stuff on sale and there is no reason - EVER - to spend more than £20 on anything in the shop. Uniqlo is like the Gap used to be, before it decided to sell 'fashion' to twiglets. If more proof of its wondrousness were required, it's hot stuff in NYC now too. So it must be good.
Lastly, there is a strange, but gorgeous, related product: the Uniqlock. http://www.uniqlo.jp/uniqlock/

But I don't have a giant stripy t-shirt from Uniqlo? Confused.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you about the wonderful Uniqlock?
hurrah and huzzah! the shop that panders to our stripey obsession.
ReplyDeleteIf you think we are bad, Matt practically sponsors Uniqlo.
ah.
