I go through waves of feeling über pulled together and incredibly frazzled. Pulled together Shannon has the days planned out nicely, remembers things (like, the main course for dinner at the grocery store….), and feels so accomplished at the end of the day. Then there’s frazzled Shannon (steer clear)… I’m clumsy, drive away with my tea on the hood on my car, forget the main course at the grocery store (and doesn’t realize it until it’s time to make dinner), and feel like nothing got accomplished at the end of the day. When frazzled Shannon decides to show up, things need to be made as simple as possible…. and that includes getting dressed….

My love of a good graphic tee started young…. think Disney graphic tees when I was really young, and then the ever cliché sorority + college tee when I got older (dare I even mention that???). Not much has really changed now.  You all know I’m a huge proponent for getting ready in a pinch… and actually looking put together (especially when Frazzled Shan shows up….). So, enter the graphic tee. A simple alternative to a plain white v-neck.  It offers a little bit of edge, makes a statement, and can be dressed up or down depending on how you accessorize it all. Pair it with a comfy cardigan and your best worn in jeans for a casual, everyday look. Toss it on with a suede motto jacket and some studded flats (such an amazing knockoff of these) for a fun night out…..

A few other favorite graphic tees include simple message tee, exercise + cocktails tee, this wine lover tee, and this band tee. Also, SHOPBOP is currently having a “buy more, save more” sale that starts today! They carry some of my favorite brands, so if you’ve had your eye on a few items, now is a good time to consider snagging them…. they have some great spring arrivals from Free People, Madewell, BB Dakota (one of my fav brands), and Golden Goose Sneakers (I’ve had a few questions on how to snag them marked down and this is a great option).

Here’s to hoping my more pulled together side shows up more often than not this week….
