I think we can all agree that being cute and comfortable is always a win for any woman. Some days dressing up is the last thing any of us want to do, but we still need to look polished and put together. One of my favorite things to do is to take a graphic tee and dress it up! This is such a simple solution for these situations, it’s almost fool proof.

 Tee | Skirt | Heels | Sunglasses | Ring 

First, find a graphic tee that makes you smile. I love graphic tees for this reason, they allow you to be expressive or add a pop of color effortlessly. I chose this graphic tee for the fun pop of red, not really the messaging. Graphic tees are huge for many retailers in the fashion space we live in today (Hello Athlesiure trends). One of my favorite places to go for these tees is Asos and Jcrew. They always have bright and expressive designs that can make an outfit cheerful, and even better, comfortable.

Secondly, what you pair your tee with on the bottom is based on your comfort level. Skirts, shorts, jeans, work pants, even wearing over or under dresses can be a fun mix! Pick whatever you feel most confident in. Here I paired my tee with a plain black skirt so the words of the graphic tee and the accessories would pop! My other favorite way to style graphic tees is with jeans. I love to throw on my most comfortable pair of jeans and half tuck or tie my shirt to make my body shape not look boxy and add more flair to the look.

Thirdly, to wrap up the look I let my accessories pop. This can help dress up the look or add some fun whimsical pieces as a conversation starter. I added to the pop of red words on my tee with a pair of red sunglasses and red lips. One of my other favorite accessories to add to graphic tees are big bold earrings, it is all about having fun! So don’t be afraid your graphic tee is too casual at your next outing, just take these steps to elevate your look for your occasion!
