Getting the Most for Your Money

Getting the Most for Your Money
Today’s Style Remix looks at how you can re-wear your tees in unexpected ways. Typically, white tees are seen as more casual, black tees are more edgy or glam, and grey tees are more blah – but our focus today is to break those sterotypes! By using your staple pieces in unexpected or novel ways, you can expand the life and variation of what you already own. Now you’re innovative and your wallet is happy














1. A Fancier White Tee

To amp up the glam factor of a classic white tee, add oversized jewelry and a blazer. To keep the blazer from looking too formal, cuff the sleeves to show the lining. Light-colored jewelry lifts the color scheme and keeps the outfit from looking too business-like, while dark purple nails add a hint of edge.

2. A Beachy Take on Black

Most beachy looks feature light colors, especially on top — here, we’ve used a black tee to show you another option. Try a tropical or neon-colored necklace to keep the black looking fresh. As an added bonus, the dark color of the tee makes the necklace really pop! Keep the rest of the look casual to balance the darkness of the tee and jeans. Coral and gold are standard beach colors, and though they’re typically paired with white or cream, it should be clear that black can be a bold and beautiful contras

















3. Brightening a Grey Day

While grey often gets cast aside as ‘drab’ or ‘boring,’ there are actually so many refreshing ways to wear it. Here, we’ve paired a simple grey tee with rose gold and turquoise accents, using crisp lines and shapes to balance the soft, casual shirt. The loafers have studs on the heel, but a plain style would also work. A high, polished topknot is a great beauty idea with this outfit. (Let a hair doughnut help you out — buns just became so much easier!) Your hair can be worked just like an accessory: keeping your hair sleek can modernize grey in a fab way.
