Work it Wednesday: 3 Ways To Wear A Graphic T

September 21, 2011

I know I’m almost 30, but I am loving graphic tees! Especially ones that really seem to fit my personality. In fact, I love them so much, that just this week, I wore this one 3 different ways! (Don’t be grossed out. Two of them were from the same day.) OK, so I wore the same sweater over it too. I figured for this time of year, they’re a pair.

I started with my “I love you nearly as much as Donuts” shirt.

Pair it with extra long jeans, heels and a funky necklace

Wear it with a colorful skirt, neutral boots, and a neutral necklace and bracelet

Make it nice and cozy with a scarf, jeggings, and Hunter boots

Those jeans in the first outfit make your legs look soooo long. They are awesome. Love all the looks.

Lots of comments today:
1) Love the outfits. The graphic shirt doesn’t look like you are wearing something cheezy because it’s paired so tastefully & well with your outfits.
2) I love the last outfit. That looks like something I want to wear on a fall day
3) Your hair up is amazing! I’m a hair down kind of girl, but I’m gonna have to try that one out
4) JillGG is right, life just gets better in your 30s. Waaaayyyy better then your 20s, hands down

I love that you really dressed up a tee with a skirt! It looks so chic, but still casual.

Super cute! Love the pastel colors, I haven’t worn graphic tees in a long time (abused them way lots in high school) but totally dig rock band ones! You make it look so chic!

I think that, because you’re wearing your tee like an adult and matching it with professional and tailored pieces, the graphic tee looks like a fun stylistic piece and not something too young or cheesy to wear. I really like the looks and would totally wear my own version!

Very cute! And each picture has something special that I’m drooling over. I love that necklace in the first pic, the color of your skirt in the second, and how the scarf looks on you in the third.

Yeah, I abused a few too! Ha ha! I’m so glad I found a way to wear them now that I’m an adult!

1) Thanks! That was the goal. Glad to hear you say I accomplished it!
2) Yeah, that might have been my favorite too!
3) It was kind of an accident. But I hope I can re-create it. It was nice to have the hair off my face.
4) So glad to hear it. This 30 thing is a tough pill to swallow.

I especially like #1 and #3. I have some graphic t’s, but NEVER wear them, but with these ideas, I can make them part of my style. Thanks!

Nice work! Love the yellow skirt, can I ask where you got it at?

I got it at a JCrew outlet 2 years ago! But I bet there’s another one out there somewhere!

Isn’t it so great! It’s from Anthropologie. So unique, that’s what I love about it.

I totally just ran into you on the internet. Weird.

Are those Hunter boots comfortable? I want a pair but remembered that at one point you were testing them out for comfort.

Love those jeans! Don’t look as great on the Gap website, but they are so cute on you!

I love that t-shirt. It’s so funny because the song playing while my husband and I cut our cake was Ice Cream by Sarah Mclachlan. I always tell my husband I love him almost as much as chocolate or some other tasty treat

I always try to attempt graphic tees and they just don’t look the way I want them to on me. I love them, but they don’t love me.

Your blog is one of my favorites so I’m finally going to leave a comment (I’ve been reading for nearly a year!). Anyway, I love graphic T-shirts and I’m 34 so no worries about the imending 30th. You look great in all the looks, as always.

Spot on Linda, very impressive! I love all three!

Ha ha! Your cousin and I would get along. I got it at Forever 21 a couple of years ago. I am not sure they still have it!

Oh yeah, I love ice cream too! My friend gave me a little chocolate bar that says, “Give me some sugar and it better be chocolate!”

I’m 28 and I still love a good graphic tee! I love all of these looks, especially the first one. Your shirt looks so pretty with the statement necklace!
