How to Dress Up a Simple White T-Shirt

Is there anything more classic than a white tee? Simple, clean, and easy. It really is the perfect wardrobe staple. A white tee isn’t like any trendy item that might seem cute this season, but end up in the “goes with nothing” pile in a few months. It’s instead a great option for a quick and effortless look upgrade, no matter who you are.

If you need to run out somewhere and need a polished look, The easiest solution is to throw on a great blazer or leather jacket, like I did here. The jacket allows your white tee to peak through as a perfect, classic base for your outfit. I can wear this to just about any occasion from a lunch date, to a night out with friends.

(Side note: There’s never been a better time to invest in a leather jacket now that spring is right around the corner. A lot of these jackets are going on sale everywhere!)

I love wearing heels when I’m sporting something so loose, like this shirt, so I don’t look frumpy. This time I wore my favorite thigh high boots to balance out the sporty look and still keep it girlie. After all, this feminine shoe is instantly cooler when toughened up with a bandana scarf and leather jacket.

To top off this street style ensemble, I included this cross body bag with chain detail to complement the look.

Valentine's Day Look 2017

Happy V-Day lovelies!

I'm celebrating Valentine's Day in style with this blush crushed velvet dress and these chic Fenty socks. I absolutely love the sheer and fur combination. It's fun, flirty and adds a little spice to the look! I chose to wear an open toe sandal heel with these socks for a dainty elegant ensemble. To top the look, I wore a gold choker.

I love the idea of something flirtatious that doesn't scream cliché Valentine's Day. Red is so expected, which is why I love a blush or neutral tone dress. Non-traditional red and pink colors with a little romantic lace, silk, or sheer is the winning outfit combination for your first Valentine's Day with your bae.

Whether you're going out with your partner or your best friends, dress your best! There's no one right way to do Valentine's Day, and different agendas call for different outfits. Just remember, for whatever date-night festivities you have planned, what you wear on Valentine's Day should make you feel lovely because you truly are.
