When I love a piece of clothing, I wear it nonstop (nearly to death, you might say). My favorite items range from floral-print dresses [1] to cute tanks with skirts [2] and, of course, jeans. T-shirts are another staple I shameless wear on repeat, and right now, I'm completely obsessed with this Ruffle-Sleeve Tee [3] ($22, originally $30) from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [4].
Whether I'm dressing for the office or casually for a weekend or vacation, a t-shirt outfit [5] is one of my favorites for versatility, and this new style from the July collection [6] feels entirely fresh and feminine. Cut from an ultralightweight fabric, it's the ideal top to pair with everything from flowy midi skirts [7] to linen blazers [8] and comfortable pants, plus wide-leg linen trousers [9] and white jeans [10] in the Summer. Plus, the romantic detail of the ruffle sleeves feels floaty and fresh in the heat (Pippa Middleton recently wore ruffle sleeves [11] for the Wimbledon finals with Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle [12], which means the style is definitely one worth trying for a chic and sophisticated look.)
Since I can't resist a good white top (like this puffy-sleeve style [13] I've been wearing on repeat since Spring), ahead, see how I wore this wardrobe basic-with-a-twist [14] three different ways, and shop my outfits head-to-toe (including some of Summer's biggest accessory trends [15] like barely-there strappy sandals and woven bags). And for more Summer outfit ideas, head over to The Outfit Bar at Kohl's [16], where you'll discover a range of affordable looks you can wear to work, on the weekends, for special occasions, and beyond.
