My Favorite Tees

I am alwaaaaaaays on the hunt for the perfect tee. One that's not too short so you can see my button on my shorts and not too long that could be mistaken for a dress. Plus, not too sheer yet not too heavy but just right. It's like Goldilocks trying to find her porridge. Ha!

Here's my four go to tees of the moment and why I love them.

Madewell Whisper Tees

At roughly $20 per tee, they are on the pricier end of a basic, run around tee. But girrrrrrl let me tell you how comfy, cozy, soft, and just delish these are. They are my FAVORITE and when they go on sale at Nordstrom, I buy in bulk!

JCrew Striped Tee

The be all and end all in striped tee will always and forever be JCrew. Seriously. The stripes are always spaced out perfectly, in the best shades that complement everyone, and are the softest cotton around. And when I say go to JCrew, not JCrew Factory, trust me on that. Some things you can get form factory but the tees are worth the splurge at JCrew.

Old Navy Luxe Tees

Always on sale. Always with a coupon code. Always comfy. They do shrink a little when you wash and dry them, so be prepared. Also, this is a bit odd, but the petite ones actually run a little big and long. Which surprises me. I can totally pass with a regular size large instead of a petite. Make that note!


Target A New Day Tees

Target, what did I ever do before you existed?! And how will I ever survive if you go away?! The A New Day collection is just simple, classic, basics that every woman needs. And, they're $5 a piece. Yup. You read right. FIVE whole dollars. So why not get them all in every color?! Don't hate me. Love me.

Where do you find your favorite tees?

My Favorite Target Brands

Target. The be all and end all mecca for women. Especially moms.

Target has a few collections that have launched recently and I am really liking certain pieces from each line. Here's my thoughts - and I'd love to hear yours!

A New Day

This brand is my new go to brand for basics. A simple tee, a pair of cutoff shorts, a pair of slip on mules. They truly have covered all bases for this brand. The quality is good and the wear over time seems to hold up. I also like that I am my usual size so I can grab an item while there running a quick errand and 9 times out of 10 it'll fit. 

Dolce Vita

Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. And shoes. This shoe brand I loooooove. They are affordable and well made and trendy and stylish and cute. I have a pair of booties that I live in almost daily, a pair of wedges that are my summer go-to shoes, a pair of espadrilles that I get constant compliments on, and mules that are fantastic!

Universal Thread  

I think I am one of the few people who just doesn't like this brand. I tried on several items (a dress, tops, jeans) and nothing worked for me. It felt a bit cheap and just itchy. While I understand it's an affordable brand and they cut costs to make it affordable, it just is not as well made as the other Target brands. At least in my opinion.

Who What Wear

I have tried several items from the Who What Wear line and I have found most of them run big. Like at least one full size big. While I like being able to buy a smaller than usual size, it's hard when shopping the brand online. The quality is good, better than the regular Target brands, and I like the preppy-professional feel of it. 

The Target apparel section. I always get sucked in. Because, well, it's only X amount of money, so why not try it?! They get me every time. How about you?

The Best Tee

We're always on the hunt for the perfect tee. Not too sheer, not too slouchy, not too fitted, but JUST RIGHT. Here'a a few of my go to favorites right now.

Target: A New Day Tee

This tee is super light weight and ridiculously affordable. I mean right now it's only $5, so why not get one in every color. If your toddler gets paint on it, who cares?! It's cheaper than a Starbucks!


Madwell: Whisper Tee

I will admit it. It took me until last year to learn what Madewell was. What took me so long and boy was I missing out! What I love is that Nordstrom carries Madewell now, not just Madewell stores. This tee is comfy, cozy, a bit of slouch, and it has this feel to it that's almost like pajamas. Who doesn't love pajamas?!

Old Navy: Luxe Hem Tee

Old navy for the win, yet again. These tees have a curved hem so there's no need to tuck in. The cover the pooch perfectly and yet still show enough booty without showing allll the booty.

JCrew: The Perfect Stripe

When in doubt, and you want/need/must have a striped shirt, JCrew never fails. Their crewneck striped shirts are just the right size stripe and have just the right placement of the stripes to be flattering on everyone. I swear. This coming from a busty gal.
