Today concludes the blog series on "7 Ways to Accent the Emily Tee," ...wrapping it up with a video. Hope you enjoy it!! 

Keep following me because in a few days I'll start a new series on Belting, showing how they bring an outfit together to make your coats, sweaters, vests, tees and more fashionable! 

I pray that God blesses you today. I recently came across this Bible verse that really encouraged me….

“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

The "Emily" tee is available at www.elegantees.com Order yours today while supplies last!

The Cropped Sweater

I borrowed this sweater from my sister's closet...and hoping I can convince her to let me keep it! It's so thick, warm, and I love how cropped it is. The yarns are grey with tints of white in them (the technical term for that is "heather"). The button in the middle at the bustline is great because this sweater is cropped so it creates a very flattering silhouette for everyone. Do you have a sweater like this? I paired it with the Emily tee, and all day I was warm and comfortable. Did I mention how feminine I felt too? The draped scarf was so pretty down the middle!

This concludes the series of "7 Ways to Wear the Emily Tee"
I will post the YouTube video shortly!! Enjoy! (:

Love Lacy's Necklace

Lacy is a really cool and confident young woman. I went to high school with her, and we've recently reconnected through Elegantees. I think she is really good at fashion and knows exactly what to add to an outfit to make it spectacular. Here is a perfect example in the photo she sent to me. She is wearing the Emily tee, and with this beautiful pearled string necklace with bronze motifs, it works perfectly with the black tee she's got in. Not only does the necklace drape with the scarf on the tee, but the colors compliment the black. She also chose some pearl earrings to match to the necklace. Wonderful example of how to wear jewelry!!! And, looks elegant (yet comfortable) for everyday life, even in the bathroom, nice background, Lacy! ;-)

Neutrals with a *~Splash~* of Color

Maybe you like this much jewelry, maybe you don't, but I'm sure you love this styling concept. All neutral clothing with a splash of color.

Here I chose turquoise to bring out my blue eyes. Plus, it's very high contrast color against the black Emily tee from Elegantees. Wear just a bracelet, or just a necklace, or a belt even. It's a nice way to dress up a classic outfit. Besides, a little color can make everyone around you inspired and joyful ;-)

Long Necklace

Long necklaces can give you a bohemian and casual vibe (the lavender top), or a dressy and sophisticated look (the black top).

I am a fashion designer, and actually designed this tee ;-) You can see my sketch on the left I made back in August '09. My intention (which was successful) is to make the attached scarf flow so it could be graceful on it's own, but even more lovely with a long necklace.

I've styled the tee 2 different ways here. The black tee I wore with grey slacks, and layered a long black crystal necklace over it (it's so long that I looped it). The lavender tee I wore with ripped jeans and a gold/white 70's looking necklace.

The reason why this works so well is because the necklace flows with the draped scarf of the shirt. The shirt is also a long length, so the entire look works.

Empire Belt

...Continuing on with my series on how to accent a tee (using this Elegantees "Emily" tee as the example)

Empire waists are great because they lengthen your torso and make you look slimmer. Here, I am wearing an elastic belt that clips into place.

If you remember this Elegantees tee, it has a long draped scarf. So, all I did to hide the pointy end of the scarf was tuck it into this wide belt.

So comfortable and I feel great in it!!!

One Brooch Is All You Need!

I once worked with a very elegant young executive who used to wear brooches all the time. She would add them to jackets, coats, blouses. I don't wear them much, I loved the professional look they have so I was inspired me to buy just one about 2 years ago!

I found it's all I really need since the one I bought is the most classic brooch I've ever seen. It's a cluster of pearls (great to match with a pearl necklace or earrings).

I thought this Emily tee from Elegantees was so cute to bunch up the draped scarf and to clip it with a brooch. With a pencil skirt, I feel just as sophisticated as an executive. So brooches are great for more than just interviews, they can even accent a tee.

Chic Scarf to Cover

Wear some neutrals (greys, blacks) and dress it up with an elegant scarf. This is also a way to dress more modesty if you are wearing a tee that exposes a lot of neck. Tee is from Elegantees (Style:: Emily), Scarf is from Milan, Italy (if you go, you can find these everywhere in the flee markets).

A Wearable Garden

I'm wearing this today, and thought to share with you because it reminds me of an exquisite garden. The drape of the forest green fabric in the shirt is so flowy, and the ruffles in the middle are like a cascading waterfall. They look like leaves of an exotic flower. Since I'm wearing gold shoes, I added this white/gold ring. Didn't think any more accessories would be necessary since this top is so interesting alone.

Since I LOVE this outfit so much and want you to be able to wear it too, I am doing a giveaway for it! I will select the winner on Monday, so make sure you are on my mailing list for your chance to win. This top is called RACHELE, and it's from Elegantees. The ring is from Forever 21.
