Spice Up Your T-shirt!


 

One thing everyone has in their closet, no matter what age or size, is a T-shirt. Spicing up a T-shirt is an easy way to show your style and be unique without breaking your comfort zone (or your parent's bank).

I like spicing up my T-shirts so that I can stand out in the sea of jeans and T-shirts.

You can spice up your T-shirt if you want to:
 
  • Break away from your normal everyday look
  • Dress it up for a special occasion
  • Bring it into a different style
  • Make it more feminine
Many of the items you can use to spice up your T-shirt are hiding right in your own closet!

I like using my J-BOS rule when spicing up my T-shirts: 

Jewelry
Belts
Outerwear (jackets, cardigans, vests, etc)
Scarves

Below are pics which show how you can spice up one gray Tshirt and a great pair of jeans.

Use pretty necklaces such as this mega strand of pearls. Since it's a simple T-shirt, don't be afraid to pile on the glam!
(Necklace: H&M, $12)


Belts

 
You know those plain skinny belts that come with shirts or pants? Well, that's what I used here. I stacked three of them loosely. It's ok to mix brown and black. So, next time you want to toss that boring belt, think twice!
(Knit cap: Lodges (local shop) $3; Skinny belts: Free...found in mine  & Mom's closet)

Outerwear

 
Here I used a great denim jacket that I'm completely in love with! I also added some girlie touches with some great colorful jewelry and a pretty pin.
(Jacket: Kohl's, $30; Necklaces: FREE, Mom's jewelry box; Bracelets: H&M, $5; Pin: Claires, $1)

Scarves 

 
Here's a great trick to do when you're on the go... Just throw on a funky cool scarf! You can wear an open scarf with a bold necklace for a fun way to add a little something extra!
(Scarf: Macy's Outlet, $7; Necklace: Forever 21, $6)

PS...I know how hard it can be to step out of your jeans and T-shirt comfort zone. But if you're looking to change up your style and don't know where to start, think J-BOS! It is the first step to unlocking your closet's hidden potential while creating your very own unique & fun style.

Here's to unlocking YOUR closet's potential!

Love, Lael
