Can I be honest? Tee-shirts are not my favourite item of clothing. You know how some people say “oh I’m just a jeans and tee shirt kinda gal?” yeah, we’ll I’m not – that’s for sure.
Give me a frock any day. BUT, now that I’m typing this, I actually realise I have a few more tee’s in my wardrobe than I thought, and I guess the difference is, I just don’t wear them as a casual weekend throw-on.
I like to mix them up with different things – which gave me the idea for this latest 1 item, 3 ways post – let’s do it with the simple tee shirt!
1. Jeans + tee
Ok, ok, so maybe I AM Â just a ‘jeans and tee shirt’ girl after all haha! But I like the idea of actually dressing UP the jeans and tee with some heels.
SHOP THE LOOK:Â Andrea Moore “wink wink” tee $105 | Glassons jeans $49.99 (I distressed them myself) | Mi Piaci heels $230
This could be a great work outfit if you have a more relaxed work place, I wore a combo not too dissimilar to this to an evening event the other night.
This outfit is the epitome of SMART/CASUAL, that elusive dress code well all try for, and struggle with (you can read more about that here if you like)
2. The weekend casual look
So as much as I generally don’t like a tee, I LOVE me a kimono! They are awesome for adding a little something, something to an outfit, (and even better if you aren’t super-keen on the old arms).
SHOP THE LOOK: Surafina kaftan (one size) $102 |  Andrea Moore “wink wink” tee $105 | Rag and Bone jeans shorts from Shophbop.com  $242 (gifted) | Spurr slides (sold out by similar here)
This tends to be my weekend uniform when just sticking around at home with the hubby, but also makes me feel a little more stylish if I DO have to pop out to shops (and inevitably run into someone that I know – it ALWAYS happens right?)
3. The sophisticated look
This is my hands down favourite way to wear a tee – with a little more femininity thrown in. I totally stole this look off my gorgeous client Eva, one of the judges on Our First Home, so we just need to make sure we aren’t wearing it on the same day when we catch up haha!
SHOP THE LOOK:Â Â Andrea Moore “wink wink” tee $105Â | Andrea Moore “kiss me’ ruffle skirt $320 | EziBuy navy heels $78
What’s good about wearing a tee like this, especially if you’ve got curves ladies, is that is helps to show those curves off a little more than if you were just wearing it with shorts or jeans (like above).
So I know the Andrea Moore tee I’ve featured is a little on the exxy side (but it has swarovski crystals as the eyes on it!) so here are three a little more budget-friendly, but still as awesome.
Now these three may not look like much, but once you get them ob your bod, you’ll never look back! They are shaped really nicely, and sit across the bust well
SHOP THE TOPS: Jeanswest “desi” tee $29.99 | Emerge linen tee from EziBuy from $34.99 | Capsule Collection Australia “The perfect V neck tee” $55
So it seems there is very much a place for the humble tee shirt is everyone’s wardrobe (even mine haha!) Are you a tee shirt girl? or not so much – if not, has this post changed your mind?

Until Next Time,
In Love & Style Always
I’m so with you being a frock gal, I really need more tees since becoming a mum. Love the cheeky wink tee, especially worn with pencil skirt. I recently bought am xxy tee which made me feel a little queasy at the time, but so glad I invested in it! xx K
If it’s something you struggle to find a good fit in, I think investing in a GREAT one is a good idea xx
That wink wink tee is the best thing I have seen in forever…I WANT! xx
it actually IS the best thing ever! xx
Love your T-shirt in all 3 looks! I especially love the last one and will definitely give that a try. Love the kimono plus T as well – always a winner. Yep I have a large drawer full of t-shirts and I do wear them a lot with shorts and jeans. I like to add a statement necklace to keep things interesting.
ooooh statement necklace with a tee, I like that! xx
Weekend casual is def my fave look here! The kimono adds another element. I love and live in tee’s, so simple and fun.
LOVE that kimono! I wear it every second day haha x
I do love a T shirt, but they need to have a twist – like a flutter sleeve or a stripe or a hi lo “tail”, or the classic band tee in today’s post. We are totes style twins!
I almost never wear them with just jeans either. Loving the heels & jeans look too. Unexpectedly chic. Love that!
TOTALLY with you on the twist style twin
xx
I love that t-shirt. Since becoming a mum, I have turned into a tee and jeans type of gal. So easy to chuck on in the morning so I can care for my minions. 🙂
Haha yes easy is the name of the game when minions are involved x
I’m exactly the same Cait – I think I’m not a tee kinda girl – until I look in my wardrobe and #everydaystyle pics to see how much I do actually wear and love them 🙂
You are rocking all 3 looks! GORGEOUS!
Cx
thanks lady! I’m so the same “oh I don’t wear tees”….. “oh wait, I have millions!” haha
This t-shirt is so cute, I especially love it paired it with the skirt but all three looks are great on you. x
thanks honey bun – I feel the most “me” in the tee and skirt, but totally love wearing it the other two ways too! x
