I always figured it was because Daisy was so shallow and materialistic that only a material object could evoke an emotional response from her. It was as if she would have had trouble expressing her emotions but the shirts act as a material conduit for her to connect with her feelings for him.

Actually, there is very little substance in this act. The book is full of allegory and metaphor but this particular action was neither. I think she was just enthralled that she had a new 'Chip' and had just then envisioned her play-plan. Daisy is an airhead. Nothing mattered to her except HER. She's a b*%#h.

The "significance" of this cover is that of the book itself. Look at the face on the cover and notice how it looks like a tear if falling from the eye. That's the green light at Daisy's dock. The town on the bottom probably resembles the vibrant colorful lifestyle of the wealthy. The face looks sad too, showing that a wealthy life isn't always a happy life.

it had nothing to do with throwing them around. she was obsessed with him and women that are obsessed with men smell their clothes, rub them against the face and cry. i've done it ...why, it promotes such a response? well, it some how triggers the memories of the realities and overlays them onto the expectations that never where. sooo...we cry for all the compined reasons.
