Here, There, Everywhere
Before I found a dress that would work for a friend’s recent wedding, I originally had my mind set on wearing one of Anthropologie’s Here & There tees, paired with a funky skirt. I ordered both the plain black tee and the navy with polka-dots, and while they are very sweet and functional as basic tops, they are much too casual for an evening wedding. Still, I thought it would be fun to show how I plan to wear these basic pieces as part of my everyday wardrobe.
With a scoop-neck and ruched sleeves, the tee has a very vintage feel. The reviews said that it runs small, so I ordered a large, though I can normally wear a small or medium in Anthropologie’s sizes. The black tee is probably too big for me and is incredibly long. Here, I have it pulled up a little for a more casual look with this skirt, but if I pull it all the way down, it comes to my mid-thigh and could literally work as a tunic with jeans and a cardigan. I added a large, beaded necklace for a bit of contrast, too.
And here is the navy, polka-dot tee, paired with an ivory lace skirt. The fit of this top is more flattering, in my opinion, and though the design of both shirts is the same, I’m guessing the black material just has more give, since it is easily an inch or two longer than the navy. But the detail of each is very sweet, and Anthropologie has several print versions of the tee that are currently sold out, but will be back in stock in November. This print, in particular, feels very 1940s to me and would work well with many skirts and heels.
Even though I had to scrap my wedding outfit idea, I’m still thrilled with these purchases and I know I’ll get a lot of wear from these blouses. They are just too casual to work on their own as simple statement pieces, which is what I was originally hoping for.
Oh well, live and learn!

I love the sleeves! Very elegant.
Thank you! They are comfortable, too.
So cute! I love your skirts too!
Thank you! They are really comfortable.
I really like both of these looks. The first one works well with the necklace.
Thank you, Tara! And thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Love both looks but really adore the polka dot one. I had a similar dilemma with wedding attire recently but it all worked out.
Thanks for your lovely comment on my Hungry Caterpillar dress. My granddaughter loves it and has worn it three times already. 🙂
Thank you so much, Denise! That dress is adorable.
I love both outfits and especially the navy tee!
Thank you so much, Karen. The navy is my favorite, too. 🙂
Love these tee’s & skirts! I especially love the long black tee! It can be hard to find cute long shirts and I didn’t realize that Anthro had some. Great tip!! Just linked over to you from Glamorous Housewife link party!!
Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for stopping by! The skirt actually came from a local boutique, but both tees are from Anthropologie. 🙂
