The perfect oversized shirt

The message came via Lot, you know, the one from the 4 Balenciaga’s in 1 minute, but I was in Sweden. ‘It’s sale at Rika.’ My perfect oversized shirt was in the shop for half price and I was in the middle of Sweden. The payment app jumped to an unyielding foreign security mode and did nothing for me anymore.

PANIC. Breathe in, breathe out, what to do, because a shirt in the most beautiful blue from Rika has been at the top of my list for a year. The fabric, the lines, the buttons that click shut just firmly enough, the breast pockets, the not too thick or thin stripe. And there was instigator Lotte again, who would arrange it for me. On Monday it was crinkling on my desk, in tissue paper, with love from Rika. Finally together and so soft that I want to wear it forever. My perfect oversized shirt in just the right blue. We live happily ever after.
