You get two style posts in a row because today I'm linking up with Bri at Work Clothes, I Suppose for her Third Thursday Threads: Dressed Up Tees!
I guess you could say that tee shirts and I have an interesting past. All through high school and college, I was a jeans and tee kind of gal. So a plain tee made no sense to me. It was graphic tees all the way. Once I became a mom, I decided I should outgrow that phase and started wearing nicer shirts and blouses, and (mostly) left tee shirts behind entirely. But I still didn't see how a plain tee could benefit my wardrobe.
Until very recently. Since starting this blog, I found myself thinking occasionally that I could totally put together a certain outfit, if only I had a plain tee. I finally made the plunge in August and bought one black and one white, and have worn them frequently since then.
When Bri announced this month's theme, I knew I wanted to put together a date night outfit (the only time I really get "dressed up" any more). I had a vision of this black tee with my new striped dress, but the v neck of the tee and the boat neck of the dress created an... interesting neckline situation. To remedy that, I simply threw on a scarf to camouflage it and voila! A new date night outfit that I will keep in mind for the next time J and I are able to go out (which in all likelihood will be sometime in November, so I may have to add tights). I really like how this ended up coming together, and look forward to wearing it some time.
