Meet the Greatest ROI Shirt- The NEW #44 of The Betsy’s top 50 Faves
High ROI shirt- No Iron Pinpoint Shirt
I’ve got style.
I also have kids. And am cheap.
When I find something that is in the intersection of these three things I have to share. It’s compulsory. And this one has made The Betsy’s top 50, (see #44, )
First a confession.
My mom, Jeannine, is known as a sage among my oldest friends (which, of course, now you can see the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.) She has a few rules that just keep coming back to haunt me. And my friends.
A few gems from Jeannine:
1. If it doesn’t add tingle to your life, GET IT OUT.
2. If you know you’re going to hate yourself for not buying it, no matter what… buy it. If you love it, buy one or two more (especially for shoes, especially if you’re a size 8 1/2 or up.)
3. All will be revealed, in due time. (This is actually from Mabel, mother of Jeannine and Grandmother of The Betsy- works like a charm for gossip and office intrigue. Basically have patience.)
Of course Jeannine, being my mother, I am skeptical of any and all clothing gifts. Her style is sometimes not my own, and other times she is spot on. Go figure. But it’s the thought that counts, and I am one to always try new things (go see #29) so when I received the following for Christmas I gave it the old college try.
Boy am I glad I did. Jeannine strikes again.
She gave me two classic button-up shirts- from Land’s End. You heard me right. Land’s End.
Meet Land’s End No Iron Pinpoint Cotton Shirt. And it’s on sale.
Hello-oooo Gorgeous.
For a busy, stylish Mom (or college student, or young professional) these wonderful shirts are just fabulous. No iron (so no iron or dry cleaners) they look much more costly than they are. They are the ultimate High ROI shirt. They wash like a dream and they are classically stylish. I top mine with one of my big chunky necklaces and tuck up the collar, sometimes pairing it with a fab belt, dark-rinse sexy jeans or classic pencil skirt and a vintage Hermes scarf. Pure fashion YUM. Think like Diana Vreeland, Katherine Hepburn and Coco Chanel chic. All, who while epitomes of style, were the first purveyors of high-low fashion mix. Tres, tres chic.
If you want the best bang for the buck. Great casual shirt or just a great shirt. Buy one of these shirts (hell, at these prices buy two or three.) They pack wonderfully and take a beating. Believe me I know what I talk of. As soon as the twins were born I shelved all my silk. Spit-up is like kryptonite to silk. A killer. These Land’s End No Iron Pinpoint Shirts seem to be impervious to sticky finger and gooey, snotty hugs & kisses, catsup and chocolate pudding.
Did I mention they’re on sale? Like $19 bucks.
Again, Hello-oooo Gorgeous.

Herds three kids through life. Mainlines all things media, including questionable TV. SCUBA diver that longs to hang-ten.
I have one of these too…but I haven’t worn it over a year. One day I’ll be ready to take off the tee shirts and look stylish again, and it will be waiting for me in my closet!
But do they have a mens version?
Yes they do! On sale, and in an amazing range of sizes: reg, tall, big, and (get this) big & tall. So tall skinny guys don’t get the shaft. They have them in button-down and straight collar (the latter is more modern, former more business-classic.) Check ‘em out. http://www.landsend.com/pp/StraightCollarNoIronPinpointDressShirt~115955_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::FUG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00001__0000000009&origin=index
Hey should note: am totally not sponsored by Land’s End. Though I prolly should be.
And what you save on your shirt can get you closer to that Tesla Roadster. And you in the shirt would look smashing in it. No… smashing is the wrong word… not in a Tesla Roadster.
