Italophile

Today I finally had a chance to take a trip to Porta Portese (Rome’s legendary, immense flea market). It was pretty great. I managed to get two decent summer dresses, a ridiculous comic-print blazer and what is probably the most amazing hat ever made (it’s straight out of 1983 and totally fantastic) all for a mere 25 Euros!

Anyway, so you know how Italians are supposed to have impeccable style? Well, for the most part that’s true… But they do have one very strange fashion quirk: the tendency to put completely nonsensical combinations of English words together on t-shirts. Hilarity ensues. Here are a few prime examples we found at Porta Portese:

I’m not totally sure what the message of this one is, but it seems pretty depressing. But for some reason it totally reminds me of my favorite thing on the internet, Breakup Letter, Dramatic Reading, so that’s happy.
