T-Shirt Shop Series: Look 1

I decided to start a new series on Lifestyle with Laramie in honor of Spring and Summer coming I started the T-shirt shop series! I love t-shirts and believe you can wear them for almost every occasion in some way! I love them dressed up for the office or down for a weekend trip! You can wear t-shirts multiple ways and this series will show you some of my favorite ways to wear them! The first look is more for the office or even going out. Dress up your t-shirt with a fitted blazer and long necklace and you have given a fun sass to your black pants for the office! Throw on some heels and you are ready to go! This camera printed t-shirt is from Gap at the outlet mall, and as a photographer I love a good camera print! Outfit details listed below, and I would love to know where you buy your favorite Ts!!!


Outfit Details:

T-shirt : Gap $11
Blazer: Macy's $25
Pants: Banana Republic $30
Heels: Target $20
Necklace: Dillard's $10
