When J. Crew had their spring sale, I rushed over to see what bargains I could take home. I picked up a couple of cute things on sale and one top that wasn’t on sale. I’ve been buying a lot of pink clothes recently and I couldn’t pass up this pink and white t-shirt. With a price tag of less than $30.00, a classic striped top is worth buying because it is timeless.

To dress it up, I styled it with white jeans, light pink peep toe booties and a chunky gold chain bracelet. But for a more casual look, I will wear it with boyfriend jeans and Converse All-Stars. This t-shirt is really basic which is one of the reasons that I bought it. I like the boatneck because when it is coupled with stripes, it gives it a little nautical vibe – perfect for the Connecticut Coast! I also like the sleeves. In my opinion, 3/4 length sleeves are actually dressier than full length sleeves. It adds more interest to the shirt, and allows you to feature one beautiful bracelet or totally glam it up with arm party (lots of bracelets).
