6 striped tees under $100

Recently I purchased a lightweight, long sleeved tee that I love. Rather than tuck it away until Fall or even early Spring, I've been wearing it regularly this summer (even today in this heat). It feels like such an American notion to equate summertime temps with near nakedness; I don't know why it took me so long to realize that long sleeved tees are not only acceptable, but at times preferable in the heat. I have next to no melanin in my skin, which means I will never, ever tan (as my sister used to tease growing up - "If you get enough freckles they'll blend together like a tan!"). I've long since accepted this fact, and aside from the vain part of me, there's the pragmatic side that knows to lather on the sunscreen before any exposure. Ten minutes outside and I can feel my forearms on fire - so longsleeves? They make sense.

Even if you're not at high risk for sunburn (you should be wearing sunblock anyway, friend! Melanoma is real), how sweet are long sleeves? Today I'm giving you 6 options under $100 that can and should be in your closet:

$39.99

$84

$84

$72.90

 

$67.20

$49.50

LRW birthday giveaway!

Morning friends! So...funny story, Raven and I got home from Baltimore last night and wanted to relax with a drink or two. I was too tired to run out to the store, so I got wine delivered. Yes, you read that right. I called up a store, told them what I wanted, and they delivered it to my door like takeout food. I'm not sure what kind of person I am for doing this, let alone admitting it, but all I can say is only in New York! We had a blast in Baltimore this weekend and I'm ready to hit the ground running this week and bring you guys some awesome posts.

Oh, and this week is the final week of the #happybirthdayLRW giveaway extravaganza! I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the birth of this blog than to giveaway a gift certificate to one of my favorite retailers. That's right, this week I'm giving away a $50 gift certificate to ASOS!
