As I’ve mentioned previously, my husband is always impeccably dressed and definitely has his own sense of style.  But this weekend (after much bribing with dessert cajoling), he allowed me to pick out his outfit styled around a Hanes ComfortBlend tee (available at Walmart).  His preppy schoolteacher aesthetic usually centers around ties, button-down shirts, and blazers.  So, I took advantage of the opportunity to style him up for a more casual weekend look.  We did make one compromise: a pocket square so that he wouldn’t feel too much out of his element.  All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a more gracious guinea pig for my little experiment, and I think we were both pretty pleased with how the results turned out.

While I was dressing Eric, I got a little curious about how the tees would look on me. I’ve always loved the look of simple t-shirts paired with pencil skirts. So I went with that and added a few extra layers for warmth.  I’m kind of picky when it comes to tees, but I have to say that these were a good bet for around $5 a pop.  They’re soft with a nice amount of stretch, and I love how they aren’t see-through.  I’m partial to v-neck tees myself, so I just may scoop up a 3-pack in white for spring!

    You’ve made me re-think wearing bright colors. I’ve been bathing myself in grey, black and beige. Thanks for the wake-up call!

      You’re welcome. It’s so easy to get stuck wearing drab colors this time of year. I have to stop myself from wearing head-to-toe black every day.

    My husband loves pocket square too! Love the color combo you picked on both of you. And kudos to your hubs for playing blog model. I have yet to accomplish this.
