A well suited tee

While perusing the racks of one of my favorite thrift stores I happened upon this graphic tee. A tiled graphic of faceless men in suits in gold foil. I'm not sure why I found it so compelling - sure I do love a good metallic - but it's such an absurd print.

The tags read Saint Augustine Academy - and a bit of googling revealed that while the Australian's website appears to now be defunct, this tee was part of an '07 menswear collection inspired by British rock artists.

It was only fitting that on it's first time out, I wore it to a concert.

  10. As I looking at how great you looked I noticed off to the side the closet additions for 80$! I need a budget like yours..what a great idea and you seemed to have gotten a great amount of wonderful items. As for you today's look, it's perfect..I especially love the booties, handbag, and leather jacket!

  19. This is going to sound utterly bizarre, but convert dressing is one of the things I struggle with most - but okay, a lot of that has to do with me worrying about someone spilling their beer on my pretty shoes. Still, you knocked it out of the park with this concert outfit; it's the perfect mix of edgy and put together. And that t-shirt pretty much couldn't be any cooler.

  30. I am in love with the cool graphic tee. the booties and jacket need to be mine, also lol.

  31. Love this tee! The graphic is very unique, which is IMO the best reason to thrift. I just go through my mom's old clothes as my version of thrifting. She was a personal trainer back in the 80s/90s so I have many cute cropped sweaters from her Aerobics days (but never feature them on the blog since I focus on fashion law and career fashion).

  32. Oh this is a great print - and one of the things I love about thrifting is liking an item for its true self and then going home to google about it and find something interesting like that.
