With doubles costing a whopping $4 and a bobby costing you 50 cents for one, we cant continue to deny that our economy is in a mess, but that doesn’t mean you have to dress like Sprangalang or pull a Gandhi in order to save money to buy your next outfit. Your next outfit might be in your mom or dad’s closet. So before you do your Christmas cleaning and throw out all those old jerseys you’ve been hording for years, take out that old Exodus t-shirt your dad gave you as a hand me down from his “saga boy days,” and put it back in your press! Yeah it may be a little washed out but that’s all part of the aesthetic!

This simple vintage inspired graphic t-shirt can be tucked in or tied to the side, cut up or left alone. Pair it with a pair of jeggings and ankle boots for a night on the town, or dress it down with shorts and sandals to go and lime, either way this t-shirt is such a great conversation piece that will get everyone’s attention. Check out these outfit ideas which all incorporate this vintage t- shirt.

After waiting for an hour plus in your cocktail dress and seeing at least 3 girls in similar frocks, you start to question your outfit choice. It’s the club for goodness sake! Dress to impress, not to look uncomfortable. Save that dress for an elegantly casual shindig and choose this club casual outfit.  Your vintage tee,  a mini skirt, some simple jewels and a killer pair of pumps are all you need. Remember, colour is your friend so feel free to add a splash of colour, but a friend can become your worst enemy so dont over do it!

One shot too many the night before and you’ve missed 8 calls from your parents who are waiting for you at brunch. If you’re in a rush (God forbid you have to do what I’m about to say) and you cant laver, throw on some shorts, some sandals and you’re good to go. Don’t forget your sunglasses, your eyes are the window to your soul which is currently drowning in tequila, your parents don't need to know that.

Date night with your beaux or with your girls, dress your best! Pair your vintage tee with a pair of skinny jeans or jeggings, some ankle lace up booties or pumps, a simple boyfriend blazer (or if you’re bold try a sequined blazer), and some nice statement jewelry pieces. Instead of lugging a big bag around (no matter HOW cute it is), try a cute simple clutch, big enough to fit your smart phone, small enough to fit your vex money. Side note: 1) Avoid by all means using your clutch purse from Grad night to go out for drinks...that is a big NO NO, retire it!

Dont be afraid to rummage thru your parents clothes or even granny’s wardrobe. Vintage inspired clothing is in so why not get some real vintage pieces to spruce up your wardrobe? Look out for garage sales and pop up thrift shops for clothing, shoes and accessoriess. A man’s trash is another man’s treasure, but some things are really just, trash so shop wisely!
