Graphic Tees for Spring and Summer

After styling a graphic tee last month for our Ageless style link up post, I was inspired to pull out my graphic tees and wear them with a variety of pieces in my closet. None of these combinations are new, but I did try to style them in ways I had not before. Here are outfits I wore a couple weeks ago.

Inspired by Marsha

I was inspired by Marsha’s Ageless Style post last month to put this look together. It is such an easy outfit to recreate as most of us have a white tee and a denim skirt in our closet. My skirt here is actually a thrifted skort and I pulled out my macrame fringe purse for a week or so.

Tee and Maxi Skirt

Graphic tees pair with everything. My favorites are the white or black ones, with grey coming in next. With summer shorts, I tend to wear my other ones that are more colorful. I really liked the comfort of this outfit: I love this thrifted skirt!

Graphic Tee over Dress

I typically add my graphic tees over maxi dresses, so I decided to try a different silhouette. I chose my ruffled yellow dress and add some contrast with my olive tee and sneakers. The t-shirt is tied with a small rubber band in the back.

Tee with Linen Pants and Crochet Vest

There is nothing like texture to add a little interest to a basic outfit. I knew I wanted to style a graphic tee with my linen pants, but I wanted to make the outfit a little more interesting. In comes my thrifted crochet vest: it might not be my favorite outfit, but I did receive a couple of compliments while wearing it.

Tee with Grey Pants

Funny story about these pants: do not wear them if it is really hot and humid in the summer and you tend to sweat. I wore them at a festival and by the time I went home, it looked like I had wet my pants! I’ve been wearing my basic sandals more than not lately as they are more comfortable as I have noticed that my long runs sometimes affect how it feels to wear certain shoes.

Le Soleil Tee and White Crop Denim

I had to give a spot in my closet for this cute little tee I bought this spring for around $5 at Target. While I am trying not to buy clothes there (I think that the only thing I purchased at Target this year), I couldn’t pass up a French saying tee that didn’t have any spelling mistakes (that’s my pet peeve).

    It’s great that Marsha’s post inspired you to get creative with your graphic tees. Your combinations are all so stylish and comfortable-looking, especially the tee with the maxi skirt and the one over the ruffled yellow dress.That Target find was a steal, and it looks adorable with the white denim.
