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.

    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.

    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.

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet
