How Much Is That Obama Shirt in the Window?

Now, I’m not a fashion plate or anything, but I am fierce. And I am nerdy. So even I was like, these Obama women T-Shirts are just not cutting it.

Oh, I know that you can get very cute T-shirts all over. There’s been pretty much an explosion of kick-ass Obama shirts on the streets. But I didn’t want to give money to random people for Obama T-shirts, especially since in most cases, none of those profits go to Obama’s campaign.

Stance taken, I wore my plain jane, campaign-store-provided, pink Obama T-shirt. And I tried to pair it with a pink button strap top, which was a little more fashionable, but made me look like an art teacher. Time to take out your finger paints, children.

So how super-frickin’-excited was I when I learned that the Obama campaign had hired a bunch of designers to put out different version of his campaign T-shirts. Quite a few of them or misses — seriously why do they keep on letting Beyonce’s mama, Tina Knowles design things??? Everything she touches turns to horrible (save Beyonce, of course).

But, I just adore all of the items pictured in this post, and I plan to buy the Tracy Reese Long T. Click here to see what else there offering over in the Runway to Change section of the Obama store.But warning, change is a bit expensive once it hits the runway.

Oh, and if you’re okay with the plain jane look, hit up the regular store, here.

    I think they should let you design something…..a lot of that stuff still seems pretty week to me.

    i know! how clever would it be if they had a design your own shirt option? i have no design sense, but i know people who do (like delia) and I’d totally buy that.

    OK, now that I wanna throw down 70 bones on a tee (hey, it’s all for the cause), the harder decision is size. It’s designer, so is ‘large’ Olsen-twin large or Forever 21 large? Either way, there’s no XXL. I’m screwed.

    Gobama!

    Kelli: I know, right? But I would like to believe that the campaign would step in and not let them do fashion sizes. Up with people and all that. So I’m going to try it in my regular size, and I’ll let you know if it fits.

    oooh, exciting news! I almost gave my money to a retailer, because the Obama camps shirts are yawn-y. Keep us updated on the fit (and shrinkage.)
