We Found It: The Perfect Plain White T

So back in March, we talked about the three ways we all styled the basic white t-shirt. At the end of the post, we gave some recommendations of shirts you could try. Since then, we have come across the best option out there. Disclaimer: it isn't short sleeved. But once you realize all the benefits, you will overlook that minor detail.

Folks, meet the Halogen Reversible V-Neck Tee. How do we love thee? Let us count the ways:
  1. The price is a cool $39.99. Think that's too much to spend on a white t-shirt? It's really not. Keep reading and you will see why.
  2. It comes in white, black, and stripes (both black/white and light blue/white). Yes, we know we said we found the perfect plain white t-shirt, but once you fall in love, you will want it in all the colors too.
  3. The thickness is legit. It's thick enough to where you don't have to layer a cami underneath, and thin enough to where it's comfortable to wear in warmer weather. (Note: as we already noted above, it's not short-sleeved. So if you're willing to wear a long-sleeved shirt, the weight will be perfect.)
  4. As its name suggests, it is in fact reversible. Wear it one way and it's a deep V (not deep enough to be vulgar, even on a larger chest but deep enough that with our larger chests we wouldn't wear the deep V to work). Wear it the other way and it's almost a boat neck with a dramatic V in the back that doesn't even show your bra strap. Two shirts for the price of one! That makes it really only $20.
  5. It's so soft it feels like a hug. 
  6. It's the perfect length. It's long enough to cover the subject but short enough to be interesting. (Apparently this is a very common phrase that Katie 2 has never heard of. However she and Katie 1, who wrote it, agree that the shirt is long enough to where you're not going to show any inadvertent skin when you bend over, but it's short enough to where it can be worn with real pants, and not leggings. Although it could be worn with our favorite career leggings.)
If you're a regular reader of the blog, you may have noticed by now that the three of us don't have the exact same style. But all three of us made a line for this shirt on a recent shopping trip to Nordstrom and purchased it. And we all love it. Katie 1 loves it so much she bought it in two colors and has featured the black/white stripe in a recent Instagram post. Katie 2 will be snagging up all the other colors as soon as she stops reeling from the money she spent on a recent MM. LaFleur shopping spree.

Workout Wednesday: Let's Discuss that NYT Article

By know we've all read (or read about) that New York Times  opinion piece shaming women for wearing anything other than sweatpants to the gym. We're not going to link to it here because we don't want to send additional traffic to the website; however, THIS article from Jezebel  sums the article up quite nicely (make sure to check out the comments, they're gold). In short, the author of the opinion piece wears sweatpants to the gym, doesn't see anyone else wearing them and then proceeds to shame women for (1) wanting to look nice in their workout clothing; and (2) wearing anything other than baggy sweats to the gym. The article also cultivates the very thing that the author claims the proliferation of the yoga pants culture seems to cultivate: it shames women for dressing how they want, when they want.  The overarching theme of women shaming aside (because we don't have the time to go into that), most of the points that the author makes in the article are jus...

Mad for Plaid: An entire post dedicated to Black Watch Tartan

Confession: Katie 1 has a slight obsession w/ Black Watch Tartan. Why? First, because it’s a combination of her favorite colors.  Second, the Duchess of Cambridge.  Third, it has a pretty cool history which makes it even more fun to wear.  It’s fairly common knowledge that Black Watch tartan is named for the 43rd Royal Regiment, commonly known as the Black Watch.  Did you know that Black Watch tartan actually pre-dates the formation of the 43rd Royal Regiment?  In fact, one of the theories behind why the 43rd is called the Black Watch is because of the very dark appearance of their uniform tartan (which we now know as Black Watch tartan).  So how deep does Katie 1’s obsession go?  She could wear a different item of Black Watch tartan every day for more than a week obsessed.  Want proof? Here’s a list of all of the Black Watch items in her wardrobe. Blazer Work Dress Casual Dress Side Zip Ankle Pants Front Zip Ankle Pants Trousers Ski...

Back to Basics: The Sheath Dress

We're back with the second post in our series of basic pieces that working women should have in their wardrobes. If you missed our first, go back and check it out . The goal is to show you those items we come back to time and time again and show you a few ways to wear them so you 1) get some mileage out of the pieces and 2) you don't look (or feel) as though you're wearing the same thing every day. The capsule wardrobe. Be honest- how many times have you pinned it? (Katie 1 would like you to know she's has NEVER pinned it. She has no desire whatsoever to create a capsule wardrobe thankyouverymuch.) Whether it's for vacation or every day, we search for those elusive few pieces that we can mix-and-match in a million different ways to create an entire month's worth of outfits with just seven pieces! We here at Not a Corporate Fashun Blog have no mastered the capsule wardrobe. We, just like you, wake up in the morning with a closet packed full of stuff and ...
