When times are tough.

You can still count on buying a cheap T to make you happy. Following one of my favorite fashion blogs, I discovered just in the nick of time the last day of an online sample sale at Built by Wendy. Normally I just drool over everything, knowing it's out of my reach. Well, a 10 dollar T and purse were just what the dr. ordered. And super fast service!

This T is the best handcrafted henley and looks way cooler in person. Bright white rubbery buttons tightly sewn, thick cotton, navy blue and grey stripes (love this combo), the perfect spring/summer little sleeves that pop out, Buit by Wendy felted embroidered arrows logo. This shirt is going to get a lot of play; you can tell it's a quality T.

So the moral of the story:

You can never have too many Built by Wendy pieces for 10 bucks! And keep up on your fashion blogs so that you don't miss out on the T in this color too. (and other swoon-worthy pretty floaty tops - dangit!)

However, the white buttons really pop against the gray and the navy T. Here they get lost.

Another moral: A girl can never have too many stripes. Just don't wear striped pants and a striped top together.

I have another style of that tee shirt, white and navy with a dolman sleeve!

Bought at the Built by Wendy store 2 years ago for about 10 times what you paid! Go you!
