Thanks to Kayin of Logomania (a very nice blog..definitely check it out) recommending the ruby tee which looked so nice on her so I decided to give it a try to see what the rave was about and she got me hooked. The tee is not the softest but the way it drapes is just so perfect. I wore it a few times already, no pilling whatsoever...the quality is excellent. I pretty much planed the outfit around this tee --- to keep things very simple but with an edge hence the fishnet tank which really works well in this pairing...and I can't deny how cool these gwens are.

I have come to realize that basics are just basics and we reach out to them all the time but it's just something that makes the outfit so I thought I could treat it as an investment piece....this tee is expensive. The cut, the neckline, the drapes of the fabric....my other tees just couldn't deliver the same look......

The sizing...personally I like this top to be a little bigger than it is. Mine is size small but I could do a medium and I am a US 2. So it depends on how oversize the tee you want to hang on your body...

Have a great weekend!!
