I have always wanted to be a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. Problem was (and still is) that t-shirts don’t fit my body very well. I’m pear-shaped to begin with, so t-shirts that were small enough to fit my shoulders would most likely be too small around my belly. Adding a post-partum pooch to the mix and t-shirts are definitely not the most flattering thing to wear. Until now. I bring you my new favorite t-shirt . . . it’s super soft, has a flattering drape, is available in a ton of colors and it’s on sale. Yesssssss. Although it says “tumble dry not allowed” on the tag, I’ve washed and dried it multiple times and it’s held its shape. (Ain’t nobody got time for that!) All of you mamas with a post-partum belly . . . this shirt is your new best friend.
See that nice drape?? No cling here!
Wearing:
T-shirt: Jacksonville Jersey T-shirt
Jeans: Express Girlfriend Jeans
Jacket: GAP Quilted Moto Knit Jacket
Sandals: Old, but I’m drooling over these metallic gladiator sandals
Earrings: BaubleBar Ear Jackets
Watch: Nine West
Rings: Midi rings from Nordstrom & Cross Ring from BaubleBar
Necklaces: ‘A Mother’s Love Has No End’ Necklace (a Mother’s Day gift from my mother-in-law!) and Locket (similar)
PS, I’m loving this moto jacket from the GAP. I love jackets that are soft and comfy and this one feels like a sweatshirt . . . the gray is sold out but the navy is gorgeous and on sale. (AND you can get 30% off the sale price with code “BETTER” bringing the total down to just under $50 . . . and they still give you free shipping and free returns. Can you tell I love a deal??)
Happy shopping!
XOXO,
Scotti
Did you size up, down or normal? I like a bigger T, baggy even–does it run big?
I normally have to buy a size medium because otherwise they cling to my stomach, even though they’re slightly too big in the shoulders . . . for this one I ordered a small and it fits in the shoulders and is still baggy enough to not cling . . . hope that helps!
I was reading this thinking “no t-shirt can be as perfect as my American vintage t-shirt…” And then I click through & realize it’s the same one 🙂
Best t-shirt ever!
Scotti- thank you for this!!! Question- how is it for doing the in-famous t-shirt half tuck???
Thanks Scotti…I’ve tried out several of your suggestions, and they always work great for me. Love this shirt and the color is beautiful!
I’ll definitely have to look into this shirt. I am sporting a huge basketball of a belly right now and I know I will have to do some excellent pooch masking for quite some time. This looks like a comfy shirt for baby wearing too.
Loving some of the recent post-partum posts!
Just got this tshirt in two colors and I AM IN LOVE. Thank you!
