Which of these three shirts should I wear for my gig tomorrow night?
I just realized that I don't have a star anymore, so I can't make this a poll. I plan to donate, but obviously, the question is kind of time-sensitive. So, just put your answer in your subject line. Feel free to include justification. Perhaps something about my eyes?

They'll be worn with jeans and nice brown shoes, if that helps your decision.

Option 1: The yellowish, black and white checkered shirt:

<>

Option 2: The blue shirt with the stripe

<>

Option 3: The maroon shirt

<>

(PLEASE NOTE: the thumbs up are not an indication of my preference. It's a genetic need to make a stupid face and/or movement in every picture.)

1. What kind of music are you playing?
At first, I'd say the maroon shirt, but the music you're playing may make a difference...

4. Go for blue with an open white button up
It will create a sort of casual/laid back look. I'f you're rocking out, pull the blue shirt over the white and roll the sleeves (white) up.

5. I say option 1
But from your expression, it looks to me like you prefer the maroon shirt.

What's your instrument? I'd say no long sleeves, anyway.
I like the blue shirt.

13. Maroon is my favorite... but will it be too hot?
In that case, go with the blue if it will be too hot to wear the maroon when playing.

18. Well, I'll have to wear an undershirt with the blue anyway...
The stitching on the stripe is right at...well, let's just say a sensitive area.

20. Understood....
Then I would say go for the maroon. It matches your coloring well.

14. I like option #1 and MY GOD you dress just like my husband.
Those look like three of his shirts. He also has a "gig" tomorrow night.

Hrrrm.

Very strange indeed.

16. Considering your coloring
I have to go with the maroon shirt. I used to get paid for picking out clothes for people, so take that for what it's worth. :-)

19. Like sjbech, I like the maroon shirt with your coloring,
but I am worried that you may get too hot. Are there a lot of bright lights shining on you or anything? If you are going to be doing a lot of moving around, expending energy or something, you may look good but feel hot. If that is the case, I'd go for the blue choice.

22. For those concerned about me being too hot, maybe I'll just bring all 3.
I do tend to move around quite a bit when I play. I also understand that the venue is one of THE places to play at the shore, so I imagine there will be lots of lights. I also sweat like a pig. I'm seriously considering just bringing all 3 so I can change between sets.

24. That may be a good idea...
just wondering if you have a nice plain white cotton knit or t-shirt? That looks good with jeans, and would be very comfortable under the lights. Also, you would 'show up' quite well at a distance, as opposed to wearing something dark. Just wondering?
