Knot just a basic tee.. no, really.

For my last tee for Style Mint week I am featuring the Price tee in tan.
Since I'm not really a typical jeans and basic tee (unless it's a vintage band tee, duh!)
I wanted to do something that really incorporated my personal style..



I started the look off with a nude sheer chiffon dress from American Apparel
(This dress is one of my TOP staples.. also in black!)
I then added black tights and a black mini skirt considering the dress is sheer!



I've never layered a t-shirt over this dress so I wanted to try something new.
Unless it was a huge oversized cut off tee (which I think would look awesome)
I knew this tee had to be cropped! 

Next I threw the Style Mint tee over the dress
then twisted the extra length into a knot right at my waist. 
I added another knot at the bottom of my dress to compliment it.
(OCD.. I know)




This blazer I've owned since I was 16!
I have a huge collection of blazers back from when I'd spend every weekend 
upstate hunting down treasures at every Salvation Army I could get to.

Thrifter tip: 
I found all my blazers in the little boy section of Salvation Army.
If you have tiny shoulders like me the fit is amazing.



My shoes are leopard Foxy's by Jeffrey Campbell.
I wanted to add a P-O-P.. "Pop of Print" ;)

So how could anyone go wrong with 

A. Jeffrey Campbell
or
B. Leopard

..Exactly, you can't.




Normally I'm a silver accessorie kinda gal 
but some outfits just call for gold!

I added some gold tone bangles, a green stone ring, a gold animal skull necklace
and a feather ear cuff all thrifted mostly from my beloved Beacons Closet.




...can a coffee count as an accessory, too?
because I never really leave the house with mine.

plus, It also goes with everything ;)

  31. I like the way u take ur pictures and how you style your outfits - for me it is reflecting that new yorki-sh chic at it's finest, really something else from what we always see. I think there is so much potential in your blog.
