It’s feminine week in the Aussie Curves Challenge, and I started out this week the same way that I start most mornings… staring blankly into my wardrobe hoping that inspiration will jump out at me. This week it did – it almost knocked me completely off my feet as I was digging around right in the back. You see, I have a collection of tshirts carefully packed away into a storage box way tucked in the back of my closet. I picked them up from all over – backpacking, concerts, tours, pub crawls, music festivals… While the smells (thank god) are long gone, just looking at them I am transported back and can hear the sounds and laughter, and remember an incredibly fun and carefree part of my life.
But I never wear them. They are boxy. Man-ish. Masculine. And then, I saw this post by Liv at Wait Until the Sunset. She solved the great puzzle of how to make a band tshirt feminine – a girly floral skirt! Genius!
So the other day, this cute floral skater skirt was on sale at New Look, and it made its way into my cart, across the world, and into my wardrobe!
As I began digging through my box of treasured memories, I got so excited about the thought of wearing them again. So many memories, so many wonderful places – I couldn’t possibly pick between them. I pulled out my Splendour In The Grass festival tee, and one I picked up my first time at Oktoberfest in Munich (I’ve been three times). Both of these tees mean so much to me – its lovely to have them out and about instead of locked up in the back of the closet. So instead of picking one over the other, I have done the look with both – and you can see how versatile this look is as I think it looks great with either shirt!
So short and sweet today – thanks Liv, I’m a total convert to the floral skirt/band tshirt look!

Great idea. I love dressing up t-shirts myself! I have heaps!
Loving the girlie skirt with a t-shirt! Great combo Jo. You just need a ring of flowers in your hair and you’re ready for Glastonbury.
girly skirts and t-shirts are the best.
This is such a cute look, you look fantastic!
What a fab idea! I’ll have to dig out my old band shirts!
YES!!! You are rocking it Jo!!! Love this soooooo much!!!
And how totally rad Oktoberfest must have been- totally jealous! xxx
Thanks Liv! Oktoberfest is so awesome – thanks for the idea, I’m so glad I can dust off this tee 😉
Cute combo! Love this skirt.
This has made me want to own a pretty floral skirt so I can rock all my band tees.
