NECESSARY STRIPES

It’s official. I’m hooked on Necessary Clothing.

Remember when I featured a sheer black Celfie top a few posts ago? Well, I’m back again with another top from New York-based retailer Necessary Clothing.

The shirt is actually quite long (it covers my butt) and I already have plans to pair it with black jeans, but on this occasion, I tucked the hem into my skirt for a cinched-waist effect, emphasized by my elastic waist belt.

Donning a stylish yet casual relaxed tee, paired with a flowy circle skirt and topped off with my new Michael Kors shades (last seen here), I was comfortably dog-walker chic.

BUT WAIT…

There’s more! Later on in the evening for a dinner + movie date, I decided to switch up my outfit but I kept the top. The flowy circle skirt was replaced by a black ruched knit skirt and to combat the temperature drop, I added a biker touch with one of my many faux leather jackets (also super in love with this style). Rather than tucking in the hem this time, I tied it into a knot to avoid looking too slumpy with the relaxed fit of the top. It was great to see how versatile the striped tee could be – definitely worth the price!

Now, if only Necessary Clothing could offer no-minimum free shipping and free returns, then life would be perfect.
