Goddamnit.

I have this shirt that I really love. It is comfy, it is cute, it is nice. (It's got stripes the color of rainbow sherbert!)

However, this shirt has one fatal flaw. It came with cufflinks (which I did not realize until after the fact, somehow), and when I took it to be laundered, the cufflinks vanished.

...GRAR.

Not only that, but it requires TWO sets of cufflinks, as there are four sets of buttonholes.

And originally, the cufflinks were double-sided.

...first, I cannot find anything even REMOTELY similar to the original cufflinks.
Second, cufflinks as a whole are RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE, so even if I DID manage to find cufflinks that matched the shirt, they'd run me A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY.
Third, RAR GODDAMNIT WANT TO WEAR MY SHIRT.
Fourth, where the hell would I find cufflinks, let alone ORANGE cufflinks, in the first place?

. . . Esty? "Orange Cufflinks" even pulls me up a couple of pages of stuff. I have no idea how useful it'd all be, but the prices look to range from $13 to $44 a pair. Which isn't bad for handmade cufflinks.

And there's always eBay. ;)

[alexmegami]

Yeah, but can I find/get two matching sets? :/ I guess I could always try for two pairs that don't match but look awesome...

If you find one you like, you could commission the maker for a second set.

[alexmegami]

True enough.

Actually, I'm eyeing a seller that has lettered ones, thinking I could get a set of As and a set of Ps. ;) Might do just that...

Turn up the cuffs instead?

[alexmegami]

Unfortunately, it's a short-sleeved shirt and the cuffs are huge. It might work out, though, I'll give it a shot. :)

(At least I have some time to figure out a solution, no way is the shirt wearable before May at the earliest :P)

[kisekileia.livejournal.com]

Ah...I can see how that could be a problem. I've only turned up the cuffs on long-sleeved and 3/4-sleeved shirts.

I had a shirt I liked once, It had a funny pun picture on it. It has some small holes in places so it probably should have been just an around-the-house shirt, but I wore it out one time and didn't make it to the sidewalk outside before the shirt was RIPPED FROM MY BODY!

You can make fake cufflinks out of buttons and... whatchamacallems. The little rings that attach pendants to necklaces.
