After nearly pulling an all-nighter working on a freelance assignment that I wanted to be nearly perfect, I was in no shape to put a huge effort into my appearance. At the same time, by now you know I do not believe in walking around town in sweat pants and grubby t-shirts. I met a friend for coffee, so I couldn’t sit outside Starbucks looking like a bum.
This plum-colored top is the perfect solution. It is a basic t-shirt. Fits well, feels comfortable, but the fun necklace-like pattern around the neck dresses it up. Then I added the brushed gold earrings, a few thin bangles and that was all I had time and energy for.
I cuffed my jeans, but instead of folding them in so that the underside showed I folded them up and then over. To be honest, it was a spur of the moment decision to fold them this way, but I think it will be on repeat in my wardrobe this summer.
Tip: Have a few statement t-shirts. They should be items that fit and feel like your grubby ones, but look like you took serious thought when dressing that morning.

Very cute and simple outfit!
You don't look tired at all! I love this shirt, it really is a great way to look dressed and put together, which you do.
Now I have to go find one just like it.
