Ok, you’ve seen them everywhere: The breton, boat-necked blue and white striped t-shirts. They’re great for summer and under cardigans in the winter/fall. You’ve seen plenty of my t-shirt here, here and here (I even did a Work it Wednesday post on them!) They are so versatile, so stylish and so Mommy-convenient. So you can imagine my excitement, when browsing a local thrift store, and I found myself this stripey turtleneck, longsleeve tunic for under $10! I thought i may alter it (shorten, turn it into a round or boat neck) but as yet – have kept it and worked with it as is. Here’s three ways I’ve worn it:
with jeggings and a belt -
tucked in with a skirt and booties -
and tucked in and under a poncho with jeans and boots, love it!
I love these stripey, long-sleeve tops too (here, here and here).
Happy Wednesday darling readers!

As always, I love your style! What a great find- and you look adorable in each picture!
thank you! i’m currently coveting your chambray shirt!!
Love this work it Wednesday! I want a stripped shirt, thank you for the links!
I love the last look. I love ponchos, but I cant seem to get them to work on me! How do you put yours on?
Hi Sara, Ponchos are pretty easy to pull off – I think you just have to contrast the baggy look of the poncho with skinny, slim fitted pants – either skinny jeans, jeggings or straight cut pants. Try several different styles of ponchos and I’m sure you’ll find one you like! I like the thin ones that you can layer necklaces on top see: http://goodlifeforless.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-outfit-blue.html Hope that helps!
What a great find! I love the stripes too and that tunic is so amazingly versatile, I would probably never take it off
Stripes are great – I think the remixing possibilities are practically endless… Love it with the poncho – so cozy!
Super cute! I need one… Have a great day…
