I promised a fashion post long ago, and it's finally here! I've decided to share with you how to make a basic t-shirt something presentable for a night out, for work, or for any casual-dress occasion.
Back in the fall I purchased a couple of awesome v-neck burnout t's from Old Navy. I say awesome because they're soft, stretchy and long enough to be my perfect t-shirt. These shirts are a polyester, cotton and rayon blend, so they won't shrink...possibly my most favorite quality.
Once I realized just how great these t-shirts were, I tried to figure out how I could get away with wearing them to work without looking like a total slob. This was my solution: first, pair the t-shirt with a cute cardigan (long or short), next, add a fun belt...
and sometimes even a scarf.
I pretty much wear this combo at least once a week and usually once on the weekends. I hope you enjoy wearing that favorite t-shirt as much as I do!
P.S. Please excuse the crazy tilted photos. I was trying to figure out how to take a picture of myself from the neck down with one hand while making dinner and entertaining Landen. Multi-tasking at its best!
I've been looking forward to doing a fashion post. (I've been looking forward to a lot of posts actually but the time to do them is rarely there!) So here you go.
Fashion Do: Wearing Jewel Tones
Jewel tones compliment any skin color. These are the deep plums, sapphires, emeralds, etc. While pastels and pale colors may compliment some skin tones, they don't work for everyone. Jewel tones look good on anyone and give a rich quality to your look.

Fashion Don't: Forgetting Your Feet
No matter how hectic your morning is or how busy you are, please don't bypass putting thought into your footwear. I'm not saying that you have to wear 4" platform heels for a night of dinner and shopping with the family, but make sure your shoes match the tone of your outfit. If comfort is key for you, find some cute (yet supportive) flats to do your running or even a pair of low-profile tennis shoes to pull off a more sporty look. And remember, heels can be comfortable if they are well-constructed and fit properly. It just takes a little time to find a style and brand that is comfortable for you.
