It's a great way to dress the jacket down for the weekend and more interesting than a solid T shirt.

Buy it the very first time you see it. Stop wearing it when UO has prominently displayed it 2 months in a row. (this isn't all graphic Ts, just the c/k/f/c ones) But its a t-shirt, so besides environmental issues, a short self life is ok, assuming you're not buying marc jacobs. b) Speaking of marc jacobs... don't buy high end designer Ts. ignoring the ridiculous price, as an almost absolute rule, when designers do street wear (t-shirts and sneaks - sorry kanye/LV) they copy it from street style (i.e. the innovators are the affordable brands here) and they replicate it a way that screams no cred.

Layering a graphic T under a tailored jacket is a great way to dress it down. That's good thinking, Anne. I'm sure you’ll make the look work. You’ve hit the nail on the head, Ellen.

Don't currently own any cons though! Still a bit concerned about the issue of taking off the top layer with weather fluctuations, though that may be easier with a vest than a jacket Actually Angie, Laura’s suggestions had indeed already got me thinking that maybe I could make this a goer.

Our forum members did a great job of inspiring us. Hannah Michelle, I’m sure you’ll pull off the look with a cardi. I quite like the idea of a graphic T matched with a boyfriend cardi and belt. KLauren, you always find creative ways to embellish your outfits. Anne, I encourage you to try the look. It’s right up your alley as far as lifestyle and comfort goes. You do not need to emulate a rock chic vibe at all. Laura is spot on with her formula. I’m glad there are takers for this look. Our forum members did a great job of inspiring us.

Thank you for the compliment, Angie. I got the idea straight from jcrew and originally bought the black pencil skirt specifically for this purpose. The first arty tee didn't last long unfortunately. I think I'm going to wear the jeans, heels and a jacket version tomorrow. I’m definitely going to try this with a vest this spring and keep doing it with the pencil skirt and fancy heels.

I wear it ( thank you, Angie!) and it really works with my stay at home mom life. It is casual enough to pick up the house in yet looks great when i'm running off to the store. It is a great look that i will wear all the time! I’m all for this look! I wear it ( thank you, Angie!) and it really works with my stay at home mom life.
