The Chronic Consumer

Like most 6-year-old boys, my son doesn’t like dressing up for special occasions. He prefers wearing his favorite t-shirts and shorts or jeans, no matter the season. But of course I have to make sure he has something decent for the occasional night out at a nice restaurant, lunch at a country club when we go on the frequent Myrtle beach golf packages that my husband’s company gives away, or a family gathering like Thanksgiving or Christmas. While I was at Gap Kids the other day, I came across a terrific deal on this long-sleeved basic oxford shirt, so I bought it.

The shirt is made from 100% cotton and has a nice soft feel to it. It’s also roomy so my son can grow into it, and since it’s from the Gap, I know that it will be durable enough to hold up through many washings. The shirt has a single pocket on the left breast, as well as a “locker loop” on the inside. It also comes with two replacement buttons.

The regular retail price for this Gap basic oxford shirt is listed as $24.50 online, but I bought it on sale for around $9 at an actual store. As I said above, that’s a terrific deal that really can’t be beat for a shirt of this quality. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have bought it at full price, but at nine bucks, it was a no-brainer!
