I actually went shopping at the mall today which believe it or not, is pretty rare. I never really go or even try clothes on in a fitting room! I can't even remember the last time... anyone else? I typically just buy them or order online and try at home. A lot of the time it's too much hassle but I've been in a shoppy mood with spring + summer coming so I went in for the whole shebang. Some new basic tees have been at the top of my wishlist and I think I may have just found my new favorite one today!!

Okay so I did a pretty casual fitting room try-on but this tee is so so good you guys. It's oversized, comfy, has a little bit of a distressed/washed vibe and is the perfect weight (not super thin or too thick). I also really like that it's a scoop neck but the oversized fit keeps it from being constricting around the neck + chest. I like basics to be "basic" in comfort + versatility but I'm pretty picky with how they feel, fit + look. The best part is that this one is also SUPER affordable-- right now they are on sale for around $17! PS-- I also have a referral code you can use to save an additional 20% off which makes them under $14! If you want to use my code, click here

The tee also comes in so many different color choices + a few prints here. I originally planned on just picking out two colors so that I could wash and wear them before buying several, however I had a hard time deciding. I ended up purchasing three of the four I'm wearing-- the olive green, grey + the pink. I really love the tan color but I think it washes my pale skin out a bit! If you're tan or have a darker skin tone, I think the color would be gorgeous on. Also still eyeing the white, yellow + heather grey-- I always go for the basics but I love the bright colors for spring.

I also have to talk about these bike shorts really quickly! If you've been keeping up with recent posts, you know I've also been wanting a pair of them for the spring + summer. I ended up trying this pair on (in the last picture) but I was still undecided on them. I've never tried or owned a pair so they are different for me. I ended up polling on my IG stories (@TheKristenDiary) and almost everyone voted yes! Thinking I may order... what do you think? 

Stay tuned for some looks styling these soon and have a great week! 

I love sharing my style with you all! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :)
