Graphic t-shirts

I sometimes wear one of my many graphic tees (mostly acquired from a lot of years of going to concerts, everything from REM and Siouxsie and the Banshees in the 80s to current ones like Wilco and Spoon) with a blazer, jeans, and boots. My lifestyle is very casual so it gives me the chance to wear blazers in a dressed-down way.

Haven't pulled out my graphic tees in a while. I have a really cool David Bowie tee from the late 70s. Since I'm, ummm, in my 50s, I'm a little hesitant to wear them any more.

You look adorable Nicole!

Totally cute outfit! I don't have any graphic tshirts but was talking with a friend of mine the other day who is 65 and she had on a cool megadeath tshirt with a denim jacket and I just wanted to steal it!

I really need to alter some of my old band tees to make the necklines more flattering. I have several that would be cool to wear but somehow on me even the Jane's Addiction shirt with the naked lady looks frumpy!

I have a couple graphic ts - there is a local company called Oaklandish that does very creative spins on local landmarks and also supports arts education in our community. I like to buy from them when I can plus it shows some civic pride.
Don't wear my concert ts any more but have them stashed just in case (or for emergency Halloween costumes!).

90% of my graphic tees are sitting in a box ready to go to the next clothing swap. I'm over them.

I have one graphic T but it's pretty tame compared to yours. I must get more adventurous.

I love graphic tee's -- on others. I often get hung up if it's not abstract enough. Great styling, though

Thanks all for the discussion! I love all your comments.

Kiwichik- I love your tee, it is tame but it fits that look. You would not want a skull shirt under a ruffle sweater. I love it!

Very cute! I love that skull shirt and the way you've styled it!

Could I ask you a favor? Your user name is so long that when you start a thread it messes up the way the threads are displayed on my browser -- the "thread starter" column is verra verra wide to accommodate your very long name, and then the "thread title" column gets squished and hard to read. I wonder whether you might consider taking the full name of your blog out of your user name, since you have a link to the web site on each of your posts?

ETA: I think putting spaces between the words would solve the problem, too!

I don't really have any other than weekend tees. I think this looks great with the maxi!

Nice shirt! I've been seeing a lot like that being sold on Ebay for super cheap! Might pick one up but i'll be shopping my closet for awhile since i just bought a ticket + hotel for Lollapalooza this year (where i can pick up more band t's, yay!)

I wear them, but i'm also pretty picky about them. Though for summer i do tend to get a little grungier and will wear oversized men's t-shirts (from thrift or hubby) that i alter in various ways.
