Casual Cardinal

Found and thrown on often during my June travels, this bold, easy-to-wear shirt functioned perfectly. I try not to overload my closet with polyester (everything in moderation, right?), but it does have the wonderful property of coming out of an overpacked suitcase wrinkle-free and ready to wear. And since Creighton and his family are such big Louisville Cardinal fans, I had to pick up this hand-painted birdie. Maybe one day we’ll have a porch for him to oversee.
