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.

    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 Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
