Before I found a dress<\/a> that would work for a friend’s recent wedding, I originally had my mind set on wearing one of Anthropologie’s Here & There<\/em> tees<\/a>, paired with a funky skirt.\u00a0 I ordered both the plain black tee and the navy with polka-dots<\/a>, and while they are very sweet and functional as basic tops, they are much too casual for an evening wedding.\u00a0 Still, I thought it would be fun to show how I plan to wear these basic pieces as part of my everyday wardrobe.<\/p>\n

With a scoop-neck and ruched sleeves, the tee has a very vintage feel.\u00a0 The reviews said that it runs small, so I ordered a large, though I can normally wear a small or medium in Anthropologie’s sizes.\u00a0 The black tee is probably too big for me and is incredibly long.\u00a0 Here, I have it pulled up a little for a more casual look with this skirt, but if I pull it all the way down, it comes to my mid-thigh and could literally work as a tunic with jeans and a cardigan.\u00a0 I added a large, beaded necklace for a bit of contrast, too.<\/p>\n

And here is the navy, polka-dot tee, paired with an ivory lace skirt.\u00a0 The fit of this top is more flattering, in my opinion, and though the design of both shirts is the same, I’m guessing the black material just has more give, since it is easily an inch or two longer than the navy.\u00a0 But the detail of each is very sweet, and Anthropologie has several print versions of the tee that are currently sold out, but will be back in stock in November.\u00a0 This print, in particular, feels very 1940s to me and would work well with many skirts and heels.<\/p>\n

Even though I had to scrap my wedding outfit idea, I’m still thrilled with these purchases and I know I’ll get a lot of wear from these blouses.\u00a0 They are just too casual to work on their own as simple statement pieces, which is what I was originally hoping for.<\/p>\n

Oh well, live and learn!<\/p>\n
