Outfit Post: Tropical Print Top + Leather Skirt

Last week, I got to talk about some spring and summer essentials on My Carolina Today (view that post here) One of the items was this tropical print tee. Would you believe me if I told you this was from the Nicki Minaj Collection for KMart?!? That's what I love about fashion... there's always a surprise in store! Anyways... I plan on living in it this summer. Why? Because there are so many ways to style it! Here's how I wore it for the segment and the rest of my work day.

Nicki Minaj Collection printed mesh tee (gifted)

Zara coated faux leather skirt (old - almost identical option)

Zara sandals (old - similar style)

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Mini Pashli (splurge option)

Sole Society "Danielle" sunglasses c/o

J.Crew classic pave bracelet

Caravelle New York gold tone watch

I absolutely love the colors and the print on this tee. It's so bright and summery! But to make it office appropriate, I paired it with a pleated midi skirt and black heels. This kept it dressed up enough for work but still fun and cheeky. If your work doesn't allow open toe sandals, just swap them out for some pumps. 

P.S. I'm REALLY into these fab sunnies from Sole Society. I love the retro-ish shape! So perfect for casual beach days or dressed up occasions. 

Did you guys have a fabulous vacation? I'm still recovering from Key West. Let's just say... I'm not as young as I used to be! Hope you guys enjoyed it - I'm just excited about this 4 day work week. We're already halfway there! Happy Wednesday! xoxo

Outfit Post: Super Chixxx Tee

The Laundry Room "Super Chixxx" Tee c/o LuLu's

Target Slouchy Trousers (from kid's section)

Shoemint "Elyse" Mirrored Heel Sandal (finally back in stock! Also comes in blue!)

d'Andrea "Mr. One Nighter" Cross Body Bag c/o

LuLu's Mirrored Sunglasses

Caravelle New York Chronograph Watch in Gold (gifted - now on sale!)

Vintage Locket (was my Great Grandmothers) || Similar BFF Necklace (had mine since I was 7) || oNecklace "Block Letter" Necklace c/o

Julep "Eileen" (nails) and Sally Hansen "Fuchsia Power" (toes) nail polish || Maybelline "Fuchsia Fusion" Lipstick

Ever since I received this tee from LuLu's, I cannot stop wearing it. It's SO incredibly soft and was perfect for my plane ride home from New Orleans. I love that I can wear this tee casually or more dressy (like this look) making it incredibly versatile. But my favorite part is how kitchy and cute it is! I mean who wouldn't be inspired by these 90's goddesses? I think my confidence level rises by at least 3 notches when I put it on. Thanks Claudia, Naomi, Cindy & Kate!

Yesterday was my birthday and I was so thankful for all your comments/instagram posts/tweets with your wishes! I'm really excited to share my Birthday Outfit but not yet! Until then you can get a sneak peek on instagram! Happy Wednesday lovelies!! xo

3 Ways To Wear It - Graphic Print Tee

 

ILY Couture "Cliché" Graphic Print Tee

Outfit 1: Gold Hawk Sequin Skirt || Zara Leather Nude Sandals || Joia Optical Clutch from Zoo Choo

Outfit 2: One Teaspoon Bandit Cutoff Shorts || Target Studded Heel Black Ankle Bootie || GiGi New York Black "Elle" Cross Body Bag

Outfit 3: Express Destroyed Ankle Rolled Boyfriend Jeans || Guess "Neondany" Silver Glitter Pumps || Sole Society "Elsie" Envelope Clutch

 

I've been eyeing graphic tees for a while now but haven't fallen in love with one yet.. until now. This ILY Couture one is cheeky and cute! (Pssttt... it also comes in black) So I came up with three ways I'd style it if I could get my hands on it.

 

For a more "Glam" ensemble, I'd dress up the tee with a sequin skirt and the perfect strappy sandals. I've also got a new obsession with transparent clutches - this metallic box option is so fabulous!

 

I run a lot of errands during the weekend so I like to stay comfy and stylish. Enter my favorite shoe in the entire world - the ankle bootie! Add a worn in pair of cutoffs and my new favorite bag - GiGi New York's "Elle" crossbody - and you've got the perfect "off-duty" look.

 

Who doesn't love a jeans-and-tee combo? I certainly do! And if they're boyfriend jeans - all the better (Express makes my favorite ones!) These glitter pointed toe pumps and blush envelope clutch finish the outfit off with a crisp yet stylish attitude.

 

P.S. ILY Couture is running a FREE SHIPPING special today and tomorrow only using the promo code SEPTSHIP! So.. how are you styling your graphic tees?
