I can't stress enough how much I want one of these E For Effort Loose Leaf shirts. Bringing back [found grade school memories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-backtoschool), it also seems to be reverting me back into a child's mentality. All I can think as I gaze upon this amazing apparel is "I want, I want, I want."
