Graphic-T-Shirts-Feature

It’s no surprise that I love a great t-shirt. Like I’ve said before, I’m not referring to an old, oversized shirt that you sleep in (although I love those, too), I’m talking about a tee you can throw on with skinny jeans, a lightweight scarf, loads of fabulous jewels, ballet flats, and a blazer, or one you can dress up at night with a skirt, baubles, and heels. I’ve always had a thing for graphic t-shirts (no, not the kind you find on Jersey Shore – no offense to anyone that is a fan of that show). I just think they are such a fun and unexpected piece of clothing, and you can do so much with them. I’ve rounded up my top five for you right here on FPTP today.

Spring Outerwear

I know a massive blizzard recently plowed through the Northeast, but my mind is focused on spring. Of course, cold days are still on the horizon, but soon enough, it will feel like spring across the country. I love that time of year when you can wear a lightweight jacket and be comfortable from dawn until dusk. From the chillier mornings to the warmer afternoons, one light piece of outerwear can take you throughout the entire day. I have my eye on more than one at the moment. From jean and leather jackets to colorful blazers to fabulous trench coats, I’m fully ready for the new season to begin.

printed shorts

As I’ve mentioned, the heat in my new state is a bit much for me to handle at the moment, but as I’ve also said, the high temperatures allow me to wear lightweight clothing all the time (which I love) – shorts, dresses, and the like. This weekend I was in Austin for my cousin’s wedding and Friday during the day I wore one of my favorite pair of shorts. They are printed and as you’ve read previously here and here, I’m all about print. Whether it’s a printed top or a printed bottom or a little mix of both, I think it’s a fun way to spruce up an outfit. I know many people who really just prefer to stick to solids and are a bit nervous to jump into the land of prints, but there are ways to wear them without it being too much and so overwhelming. If a printed blouse or dress is too much for you to bear, wear a printed scarf or try printed shorts with a plain tee or tank.
