Skip 'n Whistle Giveaway!

The New Orleans based company Skip 'n Whistle has been designing and screen printing tees for the last 14 years. Their business was destroyed in Katrina and rebuilt, being named Skip 'n Whistle as a reminder of a way to get through the tough times.

Skip 'n Whistle offers a wide range of designs, I didn't really count, but I'm guessing they have over one hundred on tops for men, women and children, all of which are quite fun and a little quirky. I received their anchor tee last summer and it's both adorable as well as super comfy.

Skip 'n Whistle recently launched a whole new website, and to celebrate, are giving away a tank top to one Chic on the Cheap reader!

Tacky Christmas Sweater

Once the number one choice of holiday apparel by "mom jeans" wearing moms in the 90's, soon after to be deemed a hideous fashion atrocity, and now riding high on a tongue-in-cheek comeback, the Tacky Christmas Sweater is well known by all.

Parties are thrown, laughs are had, and Skip 'n Whistle decided to reinvent it in the form of screen printed tee shirts and sweatshirts.

No more need to scour the thrift stores for that perfectly hideous gem, Skip 'n Whistle offers all manner of fun designs, from the classic reindeer, to dinosaurs, to moose love making... (I know you had to click that.)

So I thought I'd have a little festive holiday fun in the sweatshirt that Skip 'n Whistle sent over, and even with the snow and below freezing temps, I was so cozy and warm in this!

Anchors away

A good portion of the outfits I blog are what I have worn to work. My coworkers rarely comment on, or compliment what I wear (and they all know about the blog). However this anchor tee that Skip n' Whistle sent over got about half a dozen compliments.

Perhaps I should wear teeshirts to work more often?
