As you guys know, I don't like graphic t-shirts. If you didn't, you do now. I currently have two graphic t-shirts that I've worn on the blog that you can see here and here. But I still don't wear them very often. So I was really surprised when I grabbed this shirt this morning. It's white so it's basically a basic....basically. Plus, it has my favorite verb. If you can guess which one it is, you're probably reading my blog too much....and that's awesome.
Don't forget!!! If you've broken one of your style rules this week, email me your outfit and about the rule you broke so I can feature you rebels.
I'm wearing a secondhand scarf ($3), my husband's cardigan ($20), Herro Hachi shirt (won from RicAdeMus' giveaway sponsored by Herro Hachi), J Brand jeans ($158), flats from the Philippines ($7), and JCPenney bag (free with gift card).

I'm guessing the key verb is EAT! Love that scarf, it's a yummy shade.
Cute outfit! I'm not big on graphic tees either...but this looks cute!

I love this outfit!! So comfy, chic, stylish, and just utterly lovely. That scarf is like my dream shade of blue!
And I broke one of my style rules this week - just posted the pictures actually - will email you!
Small Time Style
Still trying to figure out what style rules I have for myself.... can't think of something that I don't try to stretch a little... I know it exists but I think I have barriers in my brain at the moment.
I love your scarf!! I agree with Lauren it's the perfect blue!
I'm really digging the cardigan. It adds a bit of casual flare to your outfit and contrasts nicely with your flats. I love that you can raid your husband's closet.
love the flats! wish i could get a similar pair!
It's funny, because I used to be OBSESSED with acquiring graphic tees-- but I'm not nearly as enthused about Threadless and the like anymore. I think it's just a gradual change in style tastes. I still really like the occasional tee, though. Yours fits because it's clean and simple, esp with the scarf. :)
Aaaand I hope that I can submit a "broken fashion rule" photo soon-- doe this mean breaking a personal fashion rule or just a "fashion rule" in general?
Toast with Charmalade
Hey Charmalade! It can be either one!
Hmmm... is it EAT? =D

Such a classy look, wish my hubby had a cardigan like that :) A great bag also!
Kristin
those jeans were $158 ??! at least they will probably last you forever.
This is totally something I would wear! During the winter you cannot pry a scarf away from around my neck! Love them!
You're teasing that it's "eat" but there's another verb there that's more important to you! Thanks for the mention, that was very sweet. =)
I like the EAT part of the shirt! YUM!
Just Better Together
It's always good to expand your wardrobe into places you never thought you would go right?? :)

i not only break a lot of fashion rules (daily. yep) but i almost broke a a commandment: thou shalt not covet. no, pretty sure i did. and on these flats:

Love itt

I want a cardigan like yours!
Elaine, this is such a cute outfit it makes me want to wear T-shirts and sad that my partner is about 5000 times bigger than me- no clothes stealing going on here. I couldn't get to your e-mail so I am just going to link my broken rules outfit here: http://schoolmarmstyle.blogspot.com/2010/12/pattern-play.html
I broke at least 2 rules in this one!

Doll, your blog is amazing! I'm so glad I stumbled upon it! All of your outfits are SO lovely.
I love looking at all your outfits. It's like SO me. :)
Oooh I like!!!
I used to wear graphic tees all the time, but not so much anymore...haha

The blue scarf is such a fun yet still rather subtle detail to this outfit, which I love to pieces! I could live in outfits like this my whole life.
I just found your blog a few days ago and I really love it!
Only you can make graphic tees look good. xx
Such a cute outfit! And I'm still in love with your bag...
Wait a sec...you wore those jeans not on Casual Friday! Fantastic! You are breaking all sorts of rules! Has anyone at work said anything? Besides, they are black so they are totally work appropriate. You prob just can't wear BLUE jeans.
Erica... Hahahah! Yeah, I forgot to mention... I was given the okay to be casual for work because they want to use me for manual labor...because I'm so strong obvi!
Oh Elaine, you're adorable. Very pretty scarf, I love that soft blue color.
PS-- I really like the new layout of your blog-- it's so easy to load/navigate! (Just some friendly feedback)
Pretty! I love the pop of color with the scarf :)
Lovely bag!
♥
i'm going to guess eat. also, that shirt is cute.
Graphic tee's have their place. In college that was all I wore and I am growing out of it... one pops up noe and then but, I only kept the ones I love so, I think that's ok.
nice.
This is a very casual but easy sophisticate look. funny that you should mention the graphic tee, since it's mostly covered by the scarf :)

The combination blue+black+grey looks sooo cool! your hair is great too!
I love that T!
I am in love with all of your scarves. I can't believe you got it second hand! It totally looks new, expensive even.
Elaine!
I combined inspirations from this outfit, and the "Orange You Green?" post, to have a thick,tasseled scarf with a green cardigan, skinny jeans, and flats, and it was great! I'm so glad you post daily for those of us for have some trouble choosing what to wear in the mornings
Basic but great. Love the pop of blue from the scarf!
And thanks so much for your not-so-kind words towards whomever stole my laptop!
