Inspired Monday: wear your inspiration on your sleeve...or shirt

For days when you're feeling a little bit uninspired (which I've had too many of recently!), wouldn't it be helpful to carry a little bit of inspiration around with you all day?  Or even...wear your inspiration?  I think it would be, and that's why this week, I bring you...T-SHIRTS!

(As usual, I don't get paid to promote any of these Inspired Monday features, I just like 'em.)

These ones are from Super Love Tees, an Etsy shop I recently discovered and am really digging...they have all kinds of fun messages, like...

I think this one of theirs is my favorite: "Travel light, live light, be the light, spread the light."  That's the kind of thing that would inspire not only you while you're wearing it, but also anyone else who sees you in it.

And this one is just fun...

The colors are so peppy and inspire you to do exactly what the shirt says. :P I might just get this one next time I'm able to...

In addition to Super Love Tees, these Etsy shops are really fun ones to look through for creative t-shirt designs:

This one is from Banyan Tree Clothing, and I just really love that image, it's so imaginative!  The rest of theirs are too...they also have printed dresses and skirts, which is something you don't always see from t-shirt/screenprinting companies, and I like that too.

This one is from Zen Threads, an Etsy store where I have not only bought several shirts for myself, but also as gifts for just about everybody.  The designs are sometimes vintage-y, sometimes quirky and humorous, sometimes have animals doing weird things...all these are things that appeal to me greatly. :)

I could go on about t-shirts forever, since I'm kinda into t-shirt design and used to want to learn screenprinting to make my own (fortunately, for that, there's Society6!), but I'll stop there.  What other things do you wear when you need inspiration?  Anyone have the artist's equivalent of a thinking cap (a painting cap?), or...thinking pants?  I used to have painting shorts, but that was because they got so paint-splattered it was really more for utility than for inspiration...
