casual-tees of war.

i've always had a love-hate relationship with tees. generally, i don't wear them. i feel stuffy and choked up by the material and collar. but every once in a while one comes along that i really like. v-neck. soft-but-not-too-soft material that is loose-fitting, yet holds its shape. long-but-not-too-long length for layering. off-white and not too bright.
i'm liking this sheer coral-ish lipstick by revlon.

    I agree with you on the t-shirt thing. I don't usually wear them either, but I love the way you styled this one!

    Your jeans are just lovely. :)

    I happen to love tees, but only when they are worn correctly, i.e. not in a sloppy way. Too many people abuse tees and ruin it for those who like them.

    I'm exactly the same actually. I find it really difficult to find a tee that looks good on me, and even tank tops I don't feel give much! I've recently resorted to a half way house of the slouch ones in Topshop or the ones with the pretty cut along the top and bottom. This tee is really nice though - suits you!

    Thank you for your comment by the way: I shall follow ya!

    lovely pictures my dear....and I feel the same way when it comes to tshirts...I never like wearing them because they are either too plain or just TOO much...I like tshirts w/o too much designs or no graphics at all because I tend to hate whatever is on them later but then I hate tees that are to plain because they become too boring...but I always love their comfort...but anyways great post girl!!!

    I love the wide leg pants. And that last pic is really amazing with the 'no parking' to your left. Love it.

    ps. thanks for the sweet comment! I'm not very brave with colors and patterns, so I try to mix textures a lot. I appreciate the compliment!

    Yes, tee's can be challanging for us non sporty girls. I also look for similar qualities in tees. I like the tissue thin kinds. Target sometimes bring very cool ones with funky designs that are perfect for layering. F21 once in a while will have some good ones as well.
    That lipstick looks great on you. Those colors totally wash me out but I always envy them.

    Ya, tees are really a make-or-break. Some can be soooo wrong that they ruin the whole shape of outfit.
