Round two of my plain white tee challenge takes an unexpectedly girly turn. I mixed the t-shirt with my favorite floral skirt (I mean, it was the skirt that started it all!). Topped with a ladylike satchel, a statement necklace, and a pair of pumps, and the result is effortlessly feminine. Two looks down, one to go!

It’s no secret that I’m a bit of a J.Crew aficionado. Their clean cuts and preppy style blends perfectly into my closet. But I never purchase anything from J.Crew at full price or even at sale price. About every 3-4 weeks, J.Crew marks an additional 30% off its sale prices and let me tell you, the savings are definitely worth the wait. The 30% off sale is going on now online (just enter “SHOPNOW” at checkout) until Thursday and I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite finds from the sale (marked with the sale price and the additional 30% discounted price). Happy shopping everybody!

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you already know that I’m trying something different this week: styling a plain white t-shirt in three very different ways (my own modified version of College Fashion’s style challenge). Besides making wardrobe changes heck of lot easier, the challenge really inspired me to look at my closet more creatively.
First up: the plain white tee all glammed up. Black staples plus injections of bright, bold color make for a surprisingly easy and edgy transformation. This might be my favorite look, but we’ve still got two more to go!
