To a Tee: Sweats and Tees for Spring

Disclaimer: I'm deducting brownie points from myself. When I moved to Denver I vowed that I'd never stop wearing heels and sweatshirts would only be allowed around the house. Never in public. I'm currently in violation of rule one, since I'm wearing flats. I have nothing against a cute pair of flats. But living in a city where marajuana was legalized, "casual" is a slippery slope. Flats are the gateway drug. The next thing you know, you're schlepping around town in a pair of sweaty, hole-ridden leggings and a flannel.

That being said, I was checking my inbox and Nordstrom had a cute roundup of sweats and tees. Delete. Oops, I opened it. And I kinda like. Oy vey. Slipping down the slope. When I think of the people who wear "fashion tees and sweats" this comes to mind:

"I'm Bad." Yes, you are.
Perhaps this can be a redefining moment for all of us who find spending more than $20 on a sweatshirt or tee completely nonsensical and little inappropriate post-training bra age.

Love Potion Tee, Nordstrom
Chrysanthemum Tee, Language of Flowers
My friend, Ramey, introduced me to Language of Flowers, a new London-based tee company. She met the designers on vacation and fell in love with them and their tees. Her lifestyle blog is must read!

Wildfox Sweatshirt, Nordstrom
Since this sweatshirt is so sweet, I'd keep the rest of the look really masculine. 

Cheetah Tee, Marc by Marc Jacobs
Love this tee! Pair it with a bright coral lip (this would be my lipstick of choice) and maybe some leather shorts with some easy espadrilles.

M by MJ Gena Sweatshirt, Nordstrom
I think this one is my fav! It's vintage gym sweats with a fem twist. 

Maje Azebra Sweatshirt, Nordstrom
Not your typical zebra or animal print. 

M by MJ Check Tee, Nordstrom
Love! It reminds me of a chic version of a plastic picnic tablecloth. In theory, that sounds horrible.
Maje Cecilia Sweatshirt, Nordstrom

I'm always a sucker for a little puff sleeve. 

Savoy Terry Pullover, Anthropolgie
The terrycloth makes this special. This would be great with a printed skirt or pair of cigarette pants.
