I have had a wardrobe hole for a "good" white tee for quite a while now and especially after Angie's fab post about khakis, tee, blazer and gladiators, I stepped up the search.

I thought I'd hit the jackpot when Parsley posted her fab version of the look, featuring an amazing white silk tee from Equipment. Even though it was quite pricey for me, I ordered it because I thought it would be Just The Thing.

But then I was also quite beguiled by the tee from Piperlime that Angie included in the original post. So even though I felt a little sheepish, I ordered it, too.

They both came today, and guess what? For me, the $31.50 tee (found a coupon online!) beat the pants off the $160 tee!

The Equipment tee is undeniably gorgeous, but it was a tiny bit too sheer for me, and more to the point it was a little too big and the next size down was sold out.

The Piperlime tee? Perfection! Soft, just opaque enough, fit like a dream. My only disappointment is that my size is now sold out in every color so I can't duplicate it! Can't wait to bust it out this weekend!

ETA Adelfa found it elsewhere -- yay! http://www.shopblueeyedgirl.co...../view.html

Angie is right... leave no retail stone unturned because you just. never. can. tell.
