this sh*t is b.a.n.a.n.a.s

It's been a long time since I've blogged. I had so many elaborate blog posts planned - different clothing orientated posts, travel guides, London guides etc. But March & April both ended up being unsuspectedly difficult months for me. Therefore, I neglected a lot of creative things in my life that I wish I hadn't. So, I'm back (hopefully for a longer period of time now), and I've decided to go back to basics and do a few simpler posts, this one in particular focusing on one of my all time favourite wardrobe staples - the printed t-shirt.

I bought this t-shirt just over two months ago now - it had been on my wishlist for absolutely ages, so I finally took the plunge and purchased it. Ganni is one of my all time favourite brands, especially for wafer-thin soft cotton t-shirts, but the price-tag has always been eye-wateringly high. This t-shirt, however, had remained in the back of my mind for so long that I just couldn't help myself any longer, and I decided to overlook the price tag just this once. Frankly, it was worth the money, because I have barely taken it off since buying it, and it works ​so well with my wardrobe! I love a good white t-shirt, as most people do, but there was something about the simple slogan and water-colour bananas in this particular style that just had me at hello.

Printed t-shirts are such a fun way of updating your Spring/Summer wardrobe. They're easy to style, and great for making a somewhat boring outfit more fun. I love wearing them tucked into 501's, or with a pair of tapered trousers like the ones in the photo above (that dusty pink is huge for this season, and looks surprisingly flattering even on a ridiculously pale gal like me). They look great underneath a suit instead of a white shirt if you're looking to create a more casual take on a smart outfit, and they look ace underneath a denim or leather jacket. I will definitely be whipping out my printed t-shirt collection more for this Spring/Summer, so look out for a post dedicated solely to the humble cotton tee. 

​Thank you for reading, and hopefully there'll be more posts in the upcoming weeks, as I've got some great ideas that I'd love to share with you all!
