Rack to Reality: Madewell Shimmer Tee

by Monica on August 21, 2010

Madewell Striped Shimmer Tee: $29.99 (on sale)

Note: Check out in- store sales for this shirt and more…I picked this up in-store for $9.99! And I saved an extra 15% with my student discount - don’t forget to ask stores if they offer one!

Click it/Skip it: Click it!

Fit: This shirt fits similar to how it looks on the model. It’s cute a bit narrow …and since I was going for a  baggier/looser fit I went up a size and  went up a size and opted for a medium. I love this dressed up take summer’s oh-so- popular stripes…just add sequins!

The shirt is seriously soft and I have been living in this week… I love it! But beware, this is one high maintenance tee...handwash only!

Shopper’s Notes: I went with the “cave” color but this shirt also comes in “deep water” blue which is just as cute. However, before you go into the Madewell store be sure to prepare yourself…its a lot of  “want but can’t have” items, but just  had straight to the sale rack and look for good deals!

The sequins are obviously fun for night and tucking this shirt into a cotton mini is a casual spin on sexy. But, don’t be afraid of a little sparkle for daytime. I have been wearing this tee with denim shorts on hot days but this tee will definitely follow me into fall with all types of jeans.

I’m loving the idea of adding a little sparkle to day time. This is a great option for those who are afraid to take the plunge, and want something subtle.

So I guess I’m being very naughty when I wash items that say HAND WASH ONLY in the gentle cycle?! I just hate hand washing!
