Show, Don’t Just Tell;Tell, Don’t Just Show

Generally speaking, everyone has these feelings or emotions they wanted to express but don’t know how.  Feelings they wanted to show but afraid to do so. Others are more on telling rather than showing. Have you ever experienced misinterpreting other’s action because they don’t tell you what it really means? Or perhaps, it’s the other way around. They kept telling you what they feel but they never really showed it.  What am I really trying to say? Actions and words must go together. If you’re really in love, speak it and show it so that your special one will not just assume or interpret your actions or wonder if your words are indeed true. Customized shirt is shooting two birds with one stone. It is a shirt made by you, not the t-shirt itself but the essence of it –the design you created, the words, and the emotions you unload. It’s like putting a part of you in that shirt and giving it to that special one. Giving is one expression of love. The effort you exerted in giving that shirt is showing your love while the words and design imprinted is saying your love. Like for example, give a black shirt with a picture of a dry rose on it. Then at the back of the shirt, with a words “Me, without you”. Isn’t it sweet? The black shirt and the dry rose symbolize your need for him/her, and the words at the back, your love. Indirectly speaking, it means, he/she makes your life colorful. Perhaps, in some way, you just want to show who you are, wear a shirt that will speak about you, statement shirt or your own design.
                I think one thing about shirts is that it doesn’t just carry printed designs but it also communicates, it gives us a voice without really saying anything. A voice to express what we feel and a voice for something we believe in. Also, with our own or even other designs in it, we doesn’t only rejoice for our individuality but also for our unity. Like the ones that are used for rallies, for certain awareness activity or for a certain group that has a mission. It is a way of being heard and standing out in the crowd. It let us be united in our own individuality and lets us stand for our values. It lets us shout for equality, raise awareness against diseases, revolt against a dictator, educate for our planet and many more. In this way we do not only become one of those strangers standing in the crowd but someone who stands for something. Someone who has the courage to be unique and say what he/she thinks. With these shirts, you print a memory and that memory becomes extra special and becomes more unforgettable. 



These are samples of shirts that shout, empower and unifies.

It's more Fun with Shirts

 Jeans are not the only one that doesn’t go out of style, shirts surely do too. Shirts are always there no matter what generation it is. And as I’ve noticed today, it is not only used for casual events but also is a way of expressing ourselves. Shirt becomes an art. It’s an edgy style that is not only comfortable but shouts who we are and what are our moods are for the day. But usually from experience, whenever I find adorable shirts on the net, I don’t know where I could buy it. Also, there would be times when I would have this incredible shirt idea that I just wanted to print but don't know where to go. Good thing I found this online shop which is called piecesoffashion.tumblr.com that offers customized shirt printing. You could have your own design and you can choose from their available tees.  No more boring and plain shirts, instead, you could go practicing your creativity and design a shirt that would perfectly suit your style. Just submit them your designs and fill up the information for the shirt.  You could choose the size, color and the neck style. These are the kind of shirts that they offer:

Statement shirts

They say that we are what we wear. Most of the times, we would have a little idea or impression based on the shirt that they are wearing. That is why I think it is important to choose the right design. I specifically love cute and meaningful statement shirt that doesn’t only lift up my spirit but also the other people that would read it. It would also be a way of expressing myself. Also, statement shirts could also be  used for giving messages in special occasions or could be given as a gift.I am sure either wearing or giving shirts with printed messages on it would make your parents, siblings, friends, or any of your loved ones feel more special.Also, it is good for those who just couldn’t express their inner feelings like stating their love for someone just like this video that I saw on youtube where in the guy asked the girl to be his girlfriend through shirt. Who could resist if you've been asked in such a sweet and creative way.



CREATIVE SHIRTS

I believe that all of us have always this creative side in ourselves and I think that shirts are one of the ways to show-off your creativity.Like me, since childhood, I’ve been such a frustrated artist. I love to paint, draw, and would usually watch art attack and do some stuff that the guy would teach and whenever my art work made someone smile or appreciated it, it makes me happy. Same with shirts, your creativity could inspire and put a smile to other peoples faces.





Moustache designs are definitely in trend today. It’s amusing to see a lot of designs with it. It’s totally adorable.

COUPLE SHIRTS
Who wouldn't find couple shirts cute? Probably those who are bitter in love but I think even them would love it also deep inside.  Why wouldn’t they? It is such a cute and sweet way of showing your love with your partner. How cute would you imagine if you are side by side walking together with your partner while wearing a couple shirts? It’s totally a must have for couples.




This couple shirt surely goes with the trend of the Department of Tourism’s very successful ad.  Having this would surely be fun.
