not so basic tees

I keep attempting to add more tees to my wardrobe.  while the regular old crew neck or v-neck can be perfect just about any day, I’m looking for something a bit more interesting or with more form that I can disguise at my anti-tshirt wearing day job.  I like these two tees from Alternative Apparel a lot.

I recently bought this shirt in black, which I adore, and today I’m wearing it tucked in to a pair of thrifted black high-waisted silk shorts.  I love the look and it’s perfect for work AND bike riding!  dlb snapped this picture of me.  hi!

    it looks great on you. i know what you mean about the crew neck/v neck rut. i’m on the hunt for something a little more unusual as well.

    Love the tee, love the high-waisted shorts. The girls head in the second photo is a bit cady-whompus. Photoshop oopsy.

    You look so chic! I got an Alexander Wang tee a few weeks ago, and though expensive, the drape is lovely. I also love Mociun (too casual for you for work, maybe?) and James Perse tees!
