AND THEN I SOLD MY CAR FOR GRATEFUL DEAD TICKETS



GRATEFUL DEAD TOP: CHARITY SHOP similar @ EBAY
BLUE AND WHITE RIPPED JEANS: TOPSHOP
CONVERSE: SCHUH

I absolutely love this outfit, although I'm always really scared of wearing this top. I bought it at a charity shop about three years ago thinking oh my god that shirt is cool! I had no idea it was Grateful Dead merch, it was only until a few months afterwards when someone said omg what a cool Grateful Dead shirt I realised it wasn't just a cool top... I only know one Grateful Dead song, so I put it back in my wardrobe and didn't wear it again until the other day. I'm one of those people who believe you shouldn't wear a band tee if you don't listen to the band, but it really is the coolest shirt on earth, don't you think? and its made me want to find out more about the Grateful Dead so I guess thats a good thing!! I think it looks really cool with these jeans which I bought in the Topshop sale last summer. I clearly should have added a flannel shirt and then I would have looked like the epitome of real 90s grunge... with a bit of colour thrown in.

  2. I used to get really annoyed when people wore band tee's and never listened to the band but now I'm just like, wear what you want because chances are the tee is awesome and you promoting awareness for an awesome band! Either way, that top is definitely an exception to your views of not wearing band tee's if you don't listen to them, it is amazing!!

  3. I love the outfit you styled with your psychedelic top. I have about four old vinyl Grateful Dead albums and even saw them at the Filmore East in Manhattan over four decades ago, and even I wouldn't have realised that was a Grateful Dead top. I love that the top has so much pink in it. It looks fantastic with your blue and white Topshop jeans. The Converse sneakers look good and comfortable. I think one of my favourite Grateful Dead songs, "Morning Dew", may have been on their first album.

  5. oh, i know what you mean. it's a dilemma! but, as you already said, it's a good way to check out a new band ;) but a bigger dilemma is when you check them out and don't like them. but the shirt is still so lovely :D

  12. I also believe in not wearing a band shirt unless you listen to them. Told my cousin not to buy a shirt with Nirvana on it because she thought that it's a shirt brand!

  15. This is seriously the coolest top ever. I totally agree that you shouldn't wear band merch if you don't listen to the band so I really respect you for saying the same! Nothing is worse than someone who wears a Nirvana shirt for 'fashion'.
    I really need to find out more about the Grateful Dead now...
