          I would like a fun(ky) T-shirt

          March 13, 2018

          I would like a funky T-shirt even though I am just about hanging onto my forties!

          It’s getting the mix of edgy with classic that makes it ok to wear quirky pieces at whatever age!
          I love the balance of opposites with all things – delicate flowers with tough denim, wide trousers with very fitted tops and a graphic t-shirt with a tailored jacket – it’s a look I want to wear.

          But I don’t want to make a political statement or feminist issue, I just want to have fun. To add something to the classics that I love. So writing that is too bold, too much or too cross doesn’t work for me but an interesting image does, so for starters, here is some inspiration I found on Pinterest.

          Love this, tailored jacket over print.

          …and a selection of creative graphics, some pretty, some funny and some a bit retro, but all inspiring.

          Zara cotton flower t-shirt, £12.99

          Zara Kids (they can fit!) t-shirt, £6.99

          Uniqlo cotton Warhol t-shirt, £12.90

          Ella Doran poly/elastane T-shirt from the Tate shop, £30

          A hint of humour, People Tree Meow T-shirt in Tencel and Organic cotton, £35

          Top shop poly/cotton T-shirt, £16

          Uniqlo Peanuts Snoopy T-shirt, £12.90

          Anthropologie cotton/poly Cactus Tee, £58

          Jigsaw Kodak cotton t-shirt, £30

          And the one I’ve ordered (first of all), to sit under my blazer, is from Tesco Direct. There are pages of T-shirts with all sorts of possible links but this one is of the Gorillaz characters designed by Jamie Hewlett, who I used to travelled to art college with, so that’s my talking point. What’s yours?

          Tesco Direct Gorillaz T-shirt, £17.59

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.

            I think it would definitely have to be the camera one for me!

              I think you would find creative t-shirts a fun way to add impact too. Enjoy.
