Love at First Sight: Yiume

Over a couple years, I lost a lot of weight. My shirt size went from a size 5X down to 2X. I had many tie-dyed T-shirts and some button-down collared dress shirts – shirts that two of me could now fit into! So I needed an all-new wardrobe. I thought I could combine dress and casual with an Internet search that combined “button-down” with “tie-dyed.” One of the links that popped up was for Yiume.com. Needless to say, it was “love at first sight.”

A Different Kind of Masterpiece: 88 Yiume Shirts

What makes 88 so special? I used to think of the beauty of a Steinway piano and its 88 keys. Then I discovered something even more beautiful: 88 spectacular YIUME shirts, arranged together in a stunning display! Gathering, arranging, and photographing them took some effort, but the results were well worth it.

From 0 to 88 (and Counting): My Wardrobe Revolution

The unique patterns and designs are inspiring – far more delightful and interesting than tie-dyed shirts would have been! And so I started building my new shirt collection, and Yiume shirts are the only shirts I wear now! I now own 88 Yiume shirts. And the collection keeps growing. With six more shirts set aside by my wife for Christmas and “Jaipur Gem” on its way, my collection will reach 95!

365 Days of Yiume: My All-Season, All-Occasion Shirt Obsession

I own and wear Yiume shirts exclusively. Whenever I leave home, for any purpose (including not just pleasurable outings and vacations, but daily chores of shopping, doctor visits, bank and post office errands, etc.), I wear Yiume. They are the only shirts I own now (except for my pajama tops - LOL). I have never worn long-sleeve shirts, so these Yiume short-sleeve, button-down shirts are my full wardrobe - winter, spring, summer, fall.

Perfect Pairings: How Converse High-Tops Unlock Every Yiume Shirt's Potential

All my many Yiume shirts are so different that they require different color shoes to properly match and style.

Attached is a photo of my shoes (all high - top Converse All - Stars).

I can always find a perfect match to any of my (now 88) Yiume shirts!

Know More about Dr. John Miller: Physicist, Systems Engineer, and Curator of 88 Yiume Masterpieces

I studied science in college, and then went on to earn my Ph.D. in Physics. I began my career in underwater acoustics research, but I was always interested in the ocean environment and animal life in general. My home is filled with seashell and seahorse décor and artwork. So, similar-themed Yiume shirts naturally drew my attention! As my career progressed, I became more interested in systems engineering (rather than basic research) – drawing satisfaction from putting software and hardware pieces together to design and build systems.

"I love sharing with everyone my LOVE for Yiume and how good they make me feel."

I have always been drawn to patterns and designs. I am retired now, but I get a similar sense of pattern-design fulfillment from collecting Yiume shirts that embrace nature, art, and the yearning and joy of life through impeccable motifs and craftmanship.
