All ya need is LOVE right? Well I absolutely fell in love with this graphic tee at Forever 21, and I started envisioning it with so many pieces in my existing wardrobe. Rule #1: If you can wear something with more than 1 existing piece in your closet, and it’s affordable… then you buy it!

This tee was under $20, and I’ve already worn it twice with two totally different outfits. Call me a repeat offender if you must, but I love wearing pieces a number of ways and a number of times. That’s how a girl on a budget gets the most bang for her buck…

So why did I put these pieces together? I obviously love the black in the outfit, and I adore the the suit separates that are more dressy with a casual, graphic tee. It makes for a modern look with a touch of sophistication. You can try this too!!

My Tip: Take a pair of your favorite dress pants and pair it with a more casual blouse. Top it off with something of structure: blazer, vest, or a fitted cardigan.
