5 Ways to Style It – Striped Tee

Posted on:

I recently implemented a fashion spending rule: if I can think of at least 5 ways to style a new item with existing items in my closet, then I can buy it. But if not, I have to put it back. This cuts down on impulse purchases that just hang in my closet unworn and money wasted. But with this striped tee, I was able to think of MORE than 5 ways to style it. Actually, I was able to style EIGHT outfits from the striped tee…all from items already in my closet. All of these outfits are appropriate for women over 40, women over 50, and women over 60.

Block me. Cancel me. Bully me in the comments. But I’m turning 50 on Tuesday…and this is my 50-year-old skin. No filters. Even my dermatologist and nurse @nicole_injects are impressed with the quality and clarity of my skin…and think I should be sharing my skincare routine with you. So here is my morning skincare routine. While you can see the product names in the video, I’m sharing everything along with links below. Other than this, I don’t do facials. I get Botox and fillers as needed. Microneedling once a year. SUNCREEN IN SUMMER. That’s it.

“I Have NOTHING to Wear…” Oh but you DO! Start with a sleeveless chambray shirt or short sleeve chambray shirt.  Then dig around in your closet to see what you come up with.

Hear me out on this: instead of a seasonal capsule wardrobe that is worn for an entire season of the year and not changed until the season changes, what if we do a smaller monthly capsule wardrobe instead that changes at the beginning of each month?
