How to Style: The Patterned T-Shirt.

There are numerous ways one could style a simple t-shirt, but I wanted to show you guys that basically all the same rules apply when you have a t-shirt with patterns.

Here are a few ways to style a patterned t-shirt:

1. Add accessories: Like bold necklaces, funky hats, or even a quirky tie.
2. Play around with the sleeves: Roll 'em up or plain cut them off.
3. Wear something over your shirt: I tried a bold green and black striped cardigan, a white crochet cardigan, a vintage vest (that used to be a long sleeved button up), and an old cut up NYC t-shirt. Put patterns on patterns...."at the same damn time". 
4. Layer your t-shirt over another longer top: I put my t-shirt on top of a white and gold patterned blouse for contrast. It ends up kind've looking like it goes together.
5. Add a belt to go around your waist: (which wouldn't have worked for this outfit, but doesn't mean it won't work for yours)



..and if I were wearing high-waisted shorts, you can guarantee, I would explore:
tucking the shirt in the front and letting it hang in the back,
tucking it in all together, and
tying the shirt in a knot in the front (or back.)

Also, (and I can't stress this enough) explore your local thrift store.
I got 80% of what I had on from the Goodwill or some type of thrift store.
I personally just love the thrill of finding unique clothing for the low, but if you are on a budget, this needs to be your spot.

Which style do you like most?
