What I wore:
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris (on sale!)
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne Ava White leopard ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium MAB tote in moon navy
Why I wore it:
I really like blue and yellow together, so I when I wanted a statement necklace to help dress up this navy tee a little I settled on this yellow beaded one quite quickly! I really liked the combination. The #summerStyleFile style challenge on Instagram had leopard as the prompt, so I decided to add just a little leopard print with these fun Walnut Melbourne ballet flats. Worked so nicely with the neutral outfit.I had a pretty quiet day at work - but did have a blazer handy to further dress up my tee in case an unexpected meeting came up. And for when the office aircon got too cold!

In Case You Missed It: I Donated My Hair!
I shared this over on YouTube this weekend, I cut a massive 38 cm off my hair to donate it to Variety (to make wigs for kids with cancer).
I still have quite a backlog of long hair pics to get through before you'll see my shorter locks pop up on the blog.
What I wore:
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve tee in fuchsia
Skirt: Jeanswest black ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium MAB tote in moon navy
Why I wore it:
Since I liked the outfit combo above so much, I wore the same thing again the next day I was in the office. I picked a sparkly crystal statement necklace this time to go with the hot pink frill sleeve tee. I did feel that the pink tee made the necklace a bit muted - the pink crystals blended in a bit. Probably won't wear the two together again, its' a combination that worked better in my head than in person!I had a bunch of meetings, but they were all virtual ones so my tee was perfectly appropriate. I ended up wearing my blazer for most of the day anyway, we were working in a different area of the office and my desk was right under the aircon vents!

Frill Sleeve Tees Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
A frill sleeve tee is a great twist on a classic tee, while remaining easy to wear. It can be dressed up for a business casual environment with a pencil skirt and statement necklace, or you could add a blazer if your dress code is more formal. It does hide the fun sleeves though!Weekday Wear Linkup #11
