Tee Time

In my opinion, a great-fitting tee should be soft, slightly slouchy & with a perfectly worn-in feel.  There are several designer options that fit the bill, but I personally am not willing to pay $80 for a t-shirt.  So when I came across these new styles in bright hues + classic stripes, I quickly snatched them up.  Not only did they meet my criteria for comfort & fit, they also happen to be on sale…so it’s the perfect time to stock up for spring & summer!   To prove you can wear them with more than just a pair of jeans or shorts, I decided to show two different looks featuring my new favorite tees.  
What I’m wearing:
c/o Old Navy tee (on sale here), Gap shirt (here), White House Black Market skirt (similar), Guess heels (on sale here), c/o Jeweliq necklace (here), ALDO clutch (similar), c/o T+J Designs cuff (similar here or here), Nails: Sally Hansen Sunkissed

  

What I’m wearing:
c/o Old Navy tee (on sale here), LOFT trousers (similar here or here), Forever 21 fedora (similar), New Look clutch (here), c/o Christina M. Boutique necklace, Michael Kors watch (similar), Forever 21 ring (here), Lips: Revlon Moon Drops Hot Coral

    Absolutely love the second look! Those red pants are amazing. Such a great pant for elongating your legs.

    I'm running a giveaway featuring a hand crafted bracelet from an amazing jewelry designer that creates affordable statement pieces. It starts tomorrow, Thursday.

    Wow, I absolutely love both of the looks you are wearing in today's post. First I like how you are wearing the short sleeve shirt over the button down. And the second look also looks great! You look gorgeous!

    I have never been a fan of blouses under a T-Shirt or a short-sleeved sweater – but you showed me that it works!!
    The soft grey and pink work together perfectly.
    Very inspirational, thank you.

    Both of these outfits are so perfect for spring, and I'm especially loving the neon tee over the chambray shirt! Such a good idea! I love Old Navy's vintage v-necks, I have five of them… they're sooo comfortable.
    The fedora and clutch are great, too. 🙂

Instagram post 2193185827274057016_216275318 In my happy place with festive decor 🎄, holiday music playing in the background 🎶 and some amazing deals in my bag 🎁 I'm not a big fan of mall shopping, but outlets are a different story - they're so much less crowded (even during this busy season) + the prices are more in line with my budget. Last week, we drove to @fashionniagara for a fun family day & we had the best time!  We stopped by Niagara Falls on the way (which is even more breathtaking in the winter ❄️), did some holiday gift shopping, had a delicious lunch & then let the kids load up on their favorite candy @itsugar 🍭(we may or may not have regretted this later 🙈). If you live in the area, I highly recommend making the drive - it would be such a fun girls trip, day date with your significant other or a family outing (if you have little ones, there is a @disney outlet that is amazing 🙌🏻). I can't wait to show you what I picked up for myself @hm - I'll be sharing the full look next week, so stay tuned!  #sponsored #fashionoutletsofniagarafalls #niagarafalls #outlets

GOOD. In today’s post, I’m sharing two updates basics that I recently purchased and can’t get enough of. The best part?
