I wear T-Shirts 90% of the time because they are really easy to dress up, or down depending what my day looks like. These Lush T-Shirts are my favorite T-Shirts because they are so soft, the cut is amazing, and I love that these T-Shirts embrace the high low trend. Meaning these Lush T-Shirts fall higher in the front, and lower in the back. Which is great for all of us ladies with booties that want a little extra coverage.

How to dress up the perfect T-Shirt in 10 easy ways

  • Wear jeans in a darker wash.
  • Pair it with a pencil skirt, or textured skirt.
  • Add an extra layer of color and pattern with a scarf. This can be tied around the neck, or draped over the shoulders.
  • Wear a vest with some embellishment.
  • Wear a blazer or bolero jacket. Embrace a jacket with a little extra shine or sequins.
  • Add a pump or stiletto.
  • Wear a statement necklace, or layer two necklaces. I love doing this with a delicate necklace, and a statement necklace. I did this with the Bauble Bar necklace, and Stella and Dot necklace I’m wearing today.
  • Wear dressy shorts in a fabric that’s shiny, or has some added texture. Brocade shorts are one my favorites to take a simple T-Shirt up a notch.
  •  Ditch the natural look, and add a smokey eye, or bold red lip.
  • Either wear super sleek straight hair, or add some volume with loose curls.

In other news, we had such a great weekend!! We went to a fun event on Saturday for the Super Bowl with the kiddos, and then went to the park. Thankfully the park was across the street from the event. Little man had a blast running around with his daddy. He had so much fun kicking his soccer ball (Christmas gift that he’s finally starting to love!!), and running around. If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw my Instastory with him running with a big smile on his face. I love how excited he is about everything. He was mind blown when he was on the elevator over the weekend. He’s been on an elevator before, but since he’s getting older he’s so much more aware of what’s going on. This is one of my favorite stages so far!! I can’t believe he will turn two on February 21!! Hope y’all had a great weekend!!

XO, Angela

    I totally agree with these tips! I also mostly wear tees and love being able to dress them up when I need to. I think accessorizing is huge for dressing up a simple tee.
