But the collection won't find a home in my closet with the blousy sleeves like an altar boy and the crochet on everything just like grandma's house. It just has no street cred with my home boys in Gramercy Park. However, their collection made me reminisce about my Catholic upbringing both the good and the bad...sister, you know what you did with that ruler. Ironic that I now live down the street from a convent.
I've always loved the pageantry and costumes, even though I hate the intolerance. This collection brought back the memories of incense, classic hymnals and stirring speeches.
But I'm a sheep that has strayed from the flock, only visiting the fold on holiday occasions. And even when I show up, my rosary is a necklace made by Dolce & Gabbana. Hence the shout out to my fellow parishioners.
YES
If you're Catholic and you want religion in your life but without the guilt or constant kneeling. Also, it's perfect if you need a come to Jesus moment on a t-shirt.
NO
If your priest also asked you out on a date during confession, wearing a shirt that looks like it came from his closet is probably not the right thing to do. What will the parishioners say.
MAYBE
You're Sicilian and everyone in your town dresses like this. No biggie. Everything in your closet come this fall will be on trend.
