Kalakari Crew Tee: OOTD

I love a good graphic tee shirt; whether it’s a compelling image or a witty phrase, I never say no to a tee. I dress up a Kalakari Crew tee shirt for a day at the mall, but this look will lend well for lunch with friends or even a casual business meeting.

The tee is a soft, gray cotton with this image of actress Zeenat Aman sporting short hair and pointing a gun. Powerful woman 😉

To dress up the look, I started by layering a blazer and putting on dark denim. Shoes changed throughout the day; the morning included leather pumps and by the evening I slipped on black, warm moccasins.

My hair was the accessory in this look. I pulled my hair in a side ponytail and then twisted it up into a structured bun. With plenty of bobby pins and a bit of patience, this updo did last all day.

Transitioning from day to night was key for me in selecting my make-up palettes. I let the look stay neutral with a gray eyeshadow, good mascara, and pink lipstick. Pink blush and bronzer add definition to my face.

For lipstick, I used Rimmel’s Provocalips in “I’ll Call You.” This has become a go to pink for me.

The look seemed just a tad too mature and stuffy and to add the last dash of youth, I put on some silver hoop earrings.

Take a look into your closet and reimagine your favorite tee shirt as a staple in a more formal look. Blazers are a great way to stay warm and sophisticated. I recommend investing in a couple blazers to build a dynamic wardrobe.

Classic and chic, yet comfortable, always keep it Stiletto Sharp!
