How to wear your basic t-shirt

Hands up if you don't know what to do with those 34256 basic t-shirts you have accrued over the years? I for one, do not throw them out and I have now been warned by Chris, that I have to get rid of some. So, I experimented, tried them all on again. Some were still as amazing as when I first bought them, some, I couldn't tell you how many stains or holes existed on and in them.

Anyway. I love a basic t-shirt. Tucked into jeans, under a leather jacket with trainers or slides is my go-to at the moment and it's when I feel most 'me' and comfortable.
Instead of just wearing a plain t-shirt, I tried a loose silk cami over the top and I've kind of called in love with the result. Such a great layering idea now it is warming up. I chose black over white but this will work in any colour that you love.

Tips for making this work:
Choose a more fitted t-shirt so it sits neatly under the cami
A loose cami in a different texture to the t-shirt
Wear tucked into higher waisted jeans for a casual look

One of the pieces here that really makes my outfit is my shoes. Glorious slip on sandals in a nude/croc effect from Zalando, and by Rachel Zoe. Comfy, isn't the word here - I walked around for 5 hours on Friday in the sun and didn't once complain about my feet!
Zalando are fast becoming one of my go-to for so many reasons! The brand list is super impressive, i.e. Rachel Zoe! and I'm so excited that they stock Tibi too, it's absolutely on my wish list next.
