Campaign Tee (CafePress, $30)

Every politico has a drawer filled with campaign t-shirts, vests and fleeces.  At some point while working the trail, you will no doubt be asked to wear one.  But turning that t-shirt into a chic outfit can be a bit of a challenge.

When I said that I would be posting about how to accessorize a campaign tee, I didn’t think that that was a post idea that would translate to the masses.  However, a number of you mentioned that you wear t-shirts for work (baristas, canvassers, etc.) and that you would be happy for a few tips.  So check back at 1:00PM for Two Ways to dress up a logo tee.

    So excited for this post! I was just thinking yesterday of how I was going to accessorize my campaign shirt for election day, so this is perfect timing!

    Oh my God, I'm old. I had this shirt. Pretty sure I paired it with high-waisted jeans from the Gap and Nikes. But I went to college in CA, so I might have just gone barefoot.

  3. Anna says:

    I wish my campaign shirts were that cute :(. I swear, if I ever run for office, the first order of business is gonna be to banish those loose-fitting, unisex, boxy t-shirts for all my lady-volunteers. Even the smalls aren't flattering, though my boss usually only gets larges and above. I guess that way everyone's guaranteed to be able to get into the shirt, even if it does look more like a dress. Ho hum.

Monday Morning: December 5, 2023

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]
