As you probably know, Gatsby and Daisy encountered each other before (5 years before, according to Gatsby). But Gatsby left for WWI, and Daisy was torn between marrying Gatsby for love, or Tom Buchanan for money. She went with Tom Buchanan, probably because she thought Gatsby would never return.
Five years later: Gatsby moves into the West Egg, DIRECTLY ACROSS from Daisy. This means that he has wealth, but it is NeW money (W = west egg). He invites Daisy over eventually for tea, and shows her around his house. Eventually, he shows Daisy his shirt collection.
Daisy is overwhelmed by his shirt collection: the vibrant colors are a stark contrast from the blandness of her marriage with Tom. And now that Gatsby has material wealth, too, she realizes that she could've had the "best of both worlds" with Gatsby, instead of Tom.
