Description

Why even fall in love? For our emo friends, this one’s for you. The Be Careful embroidered heart T-shirt puts Quirk founder/designer Melynda’s original hand-drawn crying heart exactly where it belongs: over the heart, on the left chest.

A small warning with a sense of humor, the drawing becomes embroidery on a full-length, regular-fit tee. Wear it loose with faded jeans, tuck it into tailored trousers, or let the heart peek out beneath an open shirt. The silhouette has that familiar dad-tee shape, with a crew neck and a straight hem.

An embroidered heart T-shirt with original Quirk artwork

  • Melynda’s original Be Careful drawing, translated into left-chest embroidery.
  • Azalea pink and Light Blue: 100% cotton. Ash gray: 99% cotton and 1% polyester.
  • Pre-shrunk jersey, 170–180 g/m² (5.0–5.3 oz/yd²), with a structured hand.
  • Full-length unisex fit, short sleeves and a crew neckline.
  • Handmade to order in S–3XL, including extended sizes.

Fit and measurements

These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Lay a T-shirt you like flat and compare its width and length below. Width is measured across the chest from underarm to underarm; length runs from the highest shoulder point beside the collar to the hem. Choose the ease you prefer rather than relying on a numerical size conversion.

Size Length, inches / cm Chest width flat, inches / cm
S 28 / 71 18 / 45.7
M 29 / 73.7 20 / 50.8
L 30 / 76.2 22 / 56
XL 31 / 78.7 24 / 61
2XL 32 / 81.3 26 / 66
3XL 33 / 83.8 28 / 71

Measurements may vary by up to 2 inches (5 cm). For a looser look, compare the next size’s measurements with the amount of room you want through the chest.

More Be Careful

The same original drawing also appears on our Be Careful embroidered heart sweatshirt. Choose the tee for a lighter layer or the sweatshirt for its fleece construction.

My experience with Quirk was online. I was in some need of something white to wear that catches the eye, and found something that suited my taste in a few minutes. I had a fun time browsing the site, looking at the selection that was offered, it was fun to see so many bright colors, which is why it was a pleasent surprise for me to find something I felt more comfortable with. I made my purchase online after seeing how the sizes were measured (which was more detailed than most other sites), and felt confident making my choice. After about 10 days it arrived, and it was exactly how I saw it on the site. I really liked the lenght and the feel of it, and it fit me great, I would recommend Quirk for anyone who wants to step up their outfit game.

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I love this boutique! It's clear the owner Melynda has thoughtfully hand-picked and carefully curated an amazing collection of designer vintage and secondhand pieces. She has a fantastic selection of designer shoes and purses, and everything is in A+ condition or is like new! Melynda herself is super personable and always happy to help you find befitting pieces. There's also a superb selection of men's clothes and she has her own original designs for sale as well! So far I've bought two pairs of velvet gloves from her in-house label and I LOVE them! I get tons of compliments whenever I wear them. The designs are so unique, and the quality and construction are top notch. She's even making me a custom pair of pants using the same fabric as the gloves so I can have a matching set to wear to the Dreamstate Festival later this year! Plus there's a $20 sale rack with incredible finds. I highly recommend Quirk if you're looking for unique pieces that are in great condition and well priced, and super customer service 🤗

Upon having dinner in DTLA a friend and I stumbled upon QUIRK, what a treasure of a vintage store. A hidden gem!!! An insider's secret.. but not for long. Loved Melynda's eye for well curated vintage clothing and accessories. Working as a stylist in Films and Editorial, Melynda is defintely on point.  Instantly we felt right at home in her inviting shop. From designer to hard to find vintage, its all there. What a happy find!!!

The Staff at The People’s Free Boutique is amazing.  These folks make the space come alive and fill it with positive energy and a high level of support. The clothes are well organized by sizes and styles. Learning about the journey that the organizers took to make this boutique a reality was very inspiring to me.  I learned that this idea became a reality on January 8th - one day after the fire.  This shows the passion, planning, and drive of the staff. I brought home some much needed clothes and more importantly I left a better person with a renewed outlook on community and collaboration.

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

Went by on a Saturday with my daughter.  Melynda was awesome and helpful, as always.  We both found things we needed.  What I appreciate about Melynda is the personal service and how she honestly cares about if something is "right" for you or not.  She actually mended something I had just bought right on the spot (wouldn't let it leave with an almost loose button)!  Appreciate her sense of style and will defiantly be headed back.

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!
