in my white tee...yep, in my white tee

Michelle Obama riled up some European designers and fashion snobs and had them foaming at the mouth with her recent j crew-inspired outfit choice overseas.



I happen to think it's charming. Any ole run-of-the-mill gal can get dolled up in whatever expensive outfit a stylist conjures up for her. It takes real balls to wear J. Crew in London & meet the "other leader of the free world" and wear it well. She looks like a million bucks to me. And quite frankly, with the economy as it is in the States, I'm quite thankful some of her outfits veered more on the financially conservative end, and by that I mean - affordable. That's if you think $200 is affordable.

I happen to be a fan of J. Crew. I recently picked up this $39.50 cotton white tee in 2 colors...


That's kind of pricey for a plain white tee, but it's def worth it. Perfect fit. Durable quality. Silky smooth, yet still has that feel of cotton we're accustomed to having.





Cotton: the fabric of our lives.

Michael Kors sandals I dug up at UAL for an awesome $75.

I'll be in the sweltering continent of Asia for much of this summer (more on that later), so a great white tee + sandals will pretty much be my game plan.
