Tee time

Giorgio Armani once said: "I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet" and I'm sure we'll all agree that he was definitely onto something. As a matter of fact, the plain white tee is one of those basics I simply couldn't live without. So when deciding what to wear to a brunch meeting on one of Cape Town's cooler summer days, my trusty white tee bailed me out...yet again. Of course the beauty of this tee is that it provides you with a blank canvas which allows you to pair it with virtually anything. I decided to keep things light and paired my tee with cream skinny jeans from Woolies which I rolled up to create a summery look. My bold coral blazer from the Fly Holmes range at Mr Price was the statement piece for this ensemble. I adore the pocket detail and when I saw it in the store, well, I just couldn't tear my eyes away.

Now of course no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes. One of my best buys this season is this cream pair of espadrille wedges - a hot trend this summer. Don't you just love ankle ties? Not only are these babies super comfortable but they go with so many different looks. 

I'm very seldom without a statement ring so this festive finger candy was right up my alley. A tan belt with stud detail and a longer-length chunky necklace rounded off the look really well. One last look in the mirror and I was good to go.

Brunch was great and the conversation was even better. But here's the best part: when I got home, I took off my jacket, popped a pair of shorts on and, guess what, my white tee matched perfectly!

Until next time...happy shopping!
