T-shirts make the wardrobe go a long ways, and they are affordable.
Yesterday was a good shopping day for me. First off I hate shopping, so it’s good if it’s a quick in and out and if it’s cheap. So as I was saying, yesterday was a good shopping day for me.
I have talked about back to school shopping for the kids, but we as adults need to replenish our stash from time to time as well. I am a big fan of buying cheaper clothing and changing it out as opposed to buying quality at double or triple the price and having it last way longer than I ever hoped.
Now, let me back up and say I think some clothing needs to be cheaper. Like t-shirts. White t-shirts, to be exact, get discolored in the pits well before the shirt wears out. Why on earth would I spend over $20 for a white t-shirt if that is guaranteed to happen. That and a basic white t-shirt looks the same no matter what the tag says. Sorry, but it’s true.
Yesterday I made my way into TJ Maxx, I do love that store, I bought 3 t-shirts that had a cute cut to them for $6.99 each. I liked the style so well I got it in 3 different colors. The nice thing is these t-shirts layer well. You can add a colored tank under it or add a scooped neck sweater/sweatshirt over it. You can also add a long sleeved white shirt under them as you move into the fall and winter.
So without further ado, here is the Affordable, Versatile T-Shirt:
T-shirt with Jeans
T-shirt layered with a tank
Add a necklace to change it up
Throw a sweatshirt over it as we go into fall
Great as is with plaid shorts
Layer with a long sleeve t-shirt for cooler weather
Add some jewelry and dress pants and it's a great new look
Throw on a sweater, necklace and heels and again it's completely different.
Now all I need is my jeans to go along with my t-shirts, and I am in luck, as Target has just put out a new coupon for jeans, plus other clothing. Head on over and check it out. Thanks for the heads up on that Thrifty NW Mom.

With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then. 
I LOVE T-shirts for this very reason. Actually, I buy all short-sleeved shirts and then in the winter I just layer it with a sweater or sweatshirt. I do this for my kids too, it’s fewer clothes to buy that way and our family is almost always hot at other people’s homes anyway!
