Thumbs up for this rad Midwest T-shirt, which I’ve been wearing every weekend this summer. I’d like to bring it on our trip to Chicago, but can’t decide if that’s like wearing the concert T-shirt to the concert.
P.S. Midwestern dog.

Oh, Jo!
I love it, I do…
But,
I just noticed my sister wearing this shirt yesterday.
I shouldn’t be surprised…
She is, dare I say, hyper-smitten with Cup of Jo.
As in, she only seems to buy things you’ve featured.
It seems that every time I see her she is wearing or carrying something all too familiar.
I’ll admit it that at first I was a little freaked out by how she has physically tried to morph into you.
(yeah, that’s right, you two have the same glasses…)
We’re talking…
After she had her firstborn- months after Toby- she would constantly say “Toby has one of these!” as she picked through her diaper bag. Two years later, and she hasn’t missed a beat.
I had a dream once that I confided in you how worried I was with her obsession.
(Hey, thanks for being super calm with the news, dream Jo!)
I say all this to say,
We’re not from the mid-west.
She has never been to the mid-west.
I may have to have an intervention.
Swoop bags sent me and I have to say the Mixed Metal Bangle…love bangles, cuffs and bracelets!
My husband is from N. Dakota. I think I’ll get this for him as a late Father’s day Gift! Thanks for the idea.
Chicago people LOVE their town and we regularly wear/carry anything Chicago-y. Especially things with our city flag. Midwesterners we are, but we don’t necessarily identify as such since we’re urban city people (the people out in the suburbs do, though). But we also don’t really care enough about fashion as a whole (Milan, this is not). So no one will really even notice your shirt unless they like it. If you really own this shirt (and it’s not just an affiliate link you posted) and like it wear it with gusto, my friend.
I’d say no on this one but I say yes to going to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Tour in Chicago and checking out the free summer concerts in the Park at the stage designed by Frank Gehry (not sure the name but we got to see the Dirty Projectors there a couple of years ago). Also a nice city to rent bikes with Toby.
Any tips for a short trip to Ann Arbor in July for a Mama with her 10 month old (how different would your Mama haunts be from your college ones?)
Thanks and love the blog,
Claire

Yes! Awesome, that is totally something people from the Mid West will LOVE!
i have this tee also. LOVE IT.
I think it’s fine…not like you’re wearing a Chicago shirt. :) Also, as a Michigan girl myself I love your Midwest posts!!
I am a Chicagoan, I own that shirt, and I wear it all the time!
I think it’s like trying to speak a language when you travel to that country. The natives always appreciate it.
The reason that the states that are called “midwest” is because from the east those states are mid way to the west. That’s where the term originated from. It does seem confusing though : ).
I think every indie rock boy in the midwest has a tattoo of his state on his arm, so that’s like a permanent concert t-shirt, no shame. And you’re from Michigan, aren’t you? Wear it proud!
Me ha encantado este blog en mi primera visita a su sitio. Fue increíble. Me aprendí mucho conocimiento de esto. Gracias por compartir.
