We’re With The Band

We are in quite a whirlwind over here these days. Maybe it’s just Jenilee but it feels like both of us to me. As you may have seen here and here she was recently in New York City for a weekend, then she popped up to grace us with her presence for 4 days and hit the road again for a (Belated) 30th Birthday with in NOLA with our brother. I am so glad she is back today, I missed my workout partner! Stay tuned for a new travel guide on their trip soon. She has been giving me quite the travel bug. Thankfully it is my turn Easter weekend!

Meanwhile I have been in town for almost a month straight; which is phenomenal to me. I found myself deep in the throes of spring cleaning last weekend. I cleaned out the wrapping paper chest, scoured the bathrooms/kitchen, cleaned out my closet, dressers, our puzzle/candle cabinet, and even the basement. It was a lot of work over the weekend but I am feeling extremely refreshed and ready for spring. Speaking of which; the sunshine came out to play yesterday, and we were finally able to open our windows for the first time since September. It was amazing to finally get some fresh air into our house. It already looks like some of our plants are doing better as the weather warms up! Do any of y’all get crazy into Spring cleaning like me?

I have Marie Kondo in the back of my mind lately but I am honestly just not sure if her lifestyle if cut out for me (ha!). I have been very consistent about getting rid of items, but I just don’t think a minimalist life is for me. Take into consideration I haven’t watched her show or read her books. I just have a basic concept of what she coaches people to do. But if I am being honest, I like having the same Patagonia Quarter Snap in 6 colors, and I wear them! That’s just one example, but I think too many pieces of clothing bring me joy.

Anywho let’s dive into our love affair with band tees. So for me it all started while I was shopping with my mom at H&M in West Palm Beach a few years back. I saw an oversized Ramones shirt for $10 and felt extremely compelled to purchase it, and then wear it every single opportunity possible. It’s been worn to concerts, camping, lounging around, to bars etc. I got a shockingly large number of compliments (and still do) which kind of spiraled me into owning #allthebandtees. Stay tuned for an outfit featuring this Ramones shirt soon, but for today we are going to stick to the Rolling Stones.

Is it just me or do you feel like the Rolling Stones have shirts everywhere? H&M, American Eagle, Target, Amazon, etc. All of a sudden it’s like they are mass producing the iconic tongue and lip design everywhere. Do they just keep making them and think everyone out here is like “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” from the 50 shirts on the market? Sorry couldn’t help myself there.

American Eagle got me when they had a big sale. I lit up the Rolling Stone shirts and was inspired to do an entire post dedicated to them. So here we are. I took the first one and tried a new look for me and paired this rainbow one with a skirt and some booties and let me tell you I was feeling it. You can also see a another outfit combo featuring this skirt here.

Jenilee paired this yellow Rolling Stones one with some faux leather jeans, some sling backs, and her favorite Ray-Bans. This would be the perfect look for literally any concert, a night out or just a Saturday you want to feel like a bad a$$ lady! Anytime you add leather leggings I just feel like the outfit is set up for success.  You can also see how I previously styled this tee for a Florence and The Machine Concert here.

Since the first two looks are a little dressier, I went a bit more casual for my second look. I popped on both of our favorite jeans, a classic black bomber, my slip on sneakers and this subtle Rolling Stones Tee. The best part is that this one is washed out and designed to look faded. I initially thought it was red/blue online. Surprise, it is actually orange and blue which is still totally fine by me.

Lastly Jenilee paired the last one, with some distressed white denim, and Nike’s. The tshirt happens to be a mens medium TALL (AE Hack: shop the men’s graphics for tall sizes!). You’ll see a ton of our new go to hat, which you can also see styled here. We have both been loving how a simple hat can transform any outfit!

I feel like all of the outfits above would be killer street style looks that could take you from day, to night, concert, to dinner. Hopefully you dig these types of looks as much as we do. We have a lot more where that came from with band tees. Do you own any? We would love more style inspiration if you have other suggestions?  Hope you are all having an amazing week!
