Graphic T-Shirts Part 2 of 2

You might recall in part 1 of Target Haul that I had run into shop for something, which I don’t even recall what, and ended up buying three graphic t-shirts. To see the first blog post (Part 1 or 2), click HERE. Target had so many really cute graphic tees (all under $15.) that I could have easily come home with even more. Graphic tees continue to have a strong hold in the “what’s trending” arena. Therefore, I thought it might be helpful to share with you all the many ways a graphic tee can be styled from working out to a full on fancy look! Here are 10 ways to style one graphic t-shirt. I chose the Blondie tee. It is gray with red and silver metallic writing. It also has yellow, blue and white. Blondie reminds me of my college days and evokes many happy memories! I still enjoy Blondie’s music today!

Look 1

It’s easy to think casual when styling a t-shirt. That’s probably how most would think about styling it. I started with my my Level 99 snakeskin print skinny jeans from Evereve, and my red Marc Fisher booties. All in my closet! I was feel’in kinda sassy in this look. This tee would pair well with black, red, blue or white jeans or pants and shorts. Since I consider this a casual look, I’d wear it out to run errands, out for a casual lunch or dinner and casual get togethers.

Next, I would add a faux leather jacket or blazer, which elevates this casual look slightly. It doesn’t matter the time of the year for me. I almost always have a coat, jacket, sweater or blazer to add on for additional warmth. Any of those options could be layered onto this look. I opted for my faux red leather moto jacket. However, you could add a black, white or denim jacket, blazer or sweater. The moto jacket keeps the vibe kind of sassy and edgy, which I like! The moto jacket is from my closet. When I originally bought this jacket, I liked it because of all the metal studs.

Look 3

It’s no secret that I love clothing items with some kind of interest, details or something that makes them unique and stand out. This skirt totally fits the bill especially with the large lace up and grommets along the side. Since the skirt is a pull on and has quit a bit of stretch, it’s super comfortable. I opted for my Sam Edelman pumps covered with metal studs. However, you could also pair this skirt and tee with some sneakers – think the traditional Adidas black and white sneakers. I could still add on a moto jacket, denim jacket or blazer. When styling a graphic tee, it can easily be paired with a skirt from faux leather, which is having a major moment, to denim skirts to a tulle skirt, to a metallic midi! Have fun styling and let your imagination and creativity shine through!

Looks 4, 5 and 6

As mentioned, faux leather everything is having a major moment. Next up, my Blondie tee paired with my faux leather shorts! Ever since I got these shorts, I’ve been thinking about all the outfits I could create incorporating them. Looks 4, 5 and 6 are combined because I wanted to show you how the shoe choice can change the whole look and feel of the outfit.

Adding layers is always an option so between my faux red leather jacket and this fringetastic jacket I have lots of options! In the previous post, I wore this fringetastic jacket with my AC/DC graphic t-shirt.

In my opinion, the Adidas sneakers give this whole look a more casual feel. Sneakers are super trendy and come in so many colors and embellishments now so I’m more inclined to reach for them than ever in the past. Heels tend to be more my jam!

For an edgier feel, I chose my embellished combat boots. Combat boots are super trendy right now. I like these because of the pearl and metal embellishments.

Lastly, I opted for my Sam Edelman pumps covered in metal studs. Pumps always give an outfit a fancier/dressier feel.

Don’t ever estimate the power of shoes and accessories to elevate and change the feel of an outfit. All of these shoe choices work. The choice would depend on the feeling desired or event being attended!

Look 7

For look 7, I took off the shorts and added leggings. The pumps keep the look slightly more formal. This outfit could easily be worn with the Adidas sneakers, the combat boots or my red booties. I’d also wear this to work out in minus the jewelry and the pumps. If you’re not feeling confident wearing leggings with a tee and prefer more body coverage, think about how to add some layers, which I do in look 8.

Look 8

To add some body coverage and feel more confident in going out in leggings, I’ve added a duster. In all honesty, this duster has been in my closet for the longest time with the tags still on it. I’m not sure why I haven’t worn it before but I am a sucker for sales and purchased it when Carson’s was going out of business. It’s a little too big for me now but keeping it open masks that’s it a little large on me. Adding a duster or a cardigan helps for added warmth, coverage and elevates the look.

I think this outfit would look good with some red shoes and a red purse for an added pop of color! Additionally, I might try adding a belt.

Look 9

I’m calling this the fancy look! I’ve paired the Blondie tee with a pair of silver shimmery high waisted, paper bag pants and kept on my Sam Edelman pumps. Although difficult to see, the silver shimmery pants play well off of the metallic print in the tee. Wish we could go out dancing as I’m totally feeling my disco days in this outfit!

Look 10

Lastly, I added my white suede moto jacket to the silver shimmery pants outfit. I think this jacket could also be worn with any of the previous bottoms I’ve already shared: leggings, faux leather shorts, skirt…

I really could have kept going with outfit creations! This blog was so fun to put together…clothes were flying! I hope you got some styling inspiration and are now thinking about wearing graphic tees differently! It’s pretty amazing that one clothing item (graphic tee) under $15 could be styled with things already in my closet to create over 10 looks! Did you have a favorite?

How cute is Diana of Red Bird Living? Diana and I first became connected on Instagram. She told me I was her inspiration for getting her first graphic tees! I was so flattered especially since Diana has such a great sense of fashion and is always styled so chic! It is always my hope that other women get inspired to try new things and to be brave!

Diana recently purchased these two graphic tees from Target. Love how she styled both. An option I hadn’t thought of is layering the tee over a button down. That’s one reason I love IG! You can get so many ideas and styling inspiration from other women!
