Graphic tee: Corilynn Quaintrelle Tee. Blazer: H&M. (similar here and here.) Jeans: Zara. (similar here and here.) Shoes: Enzo Angiolini. (similar here.) Sunglasses: H&M. (similar.) Bag: Ivanka Trump. (similar here, here, and here.)

Quaintrelle: (n.) a woman who emphasizes a life of passion, expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures.

I stumbled upon the word “quaintrelle” about five or six months ago.  I’d never heard it before, but when I did I just knew I had to put it on a t-shirt.  Because when you find a word that sounds that awesome and means something so perfect, you put it on a t-shirt.  It’s just what’s done.  Bringing graphic tees into my line was a long-time dream, and I’ve been so pleased with how they’ve turned out, and the response we’ve gotten on them.  People ask me all the time, where the inspiration for my designs come from, and that can be answered lots of ways, but truth be told 99% of the time I design the clothes that I wish I could find.  Clothes that I want to wear and that I think are fun.  I love graphic tees, but like a lot of women, I’m also really picky about fit.  Designing our own line was one of those things that’s been on my list for a while, but I wanted to make sure we got it right.  I love the way these have turned out.  They’re everything I always want in a graphic tee and can’t often find.  They’re super soft, lightweight (without being see-through) fitted but not snug–just the right amount of slouch, and they’ve got a slightly longer length on them.  Which means, they’re great for tucking and will never end up looking boxy after a few washes.  And best of all, like all our pieces, they’re made right here in the USA.

Happy Monday everyone,

let’s go kill it this week!

    I would normally never correct a spelling error…but in the second line of your paragraph you left out the “r” in “shirt”, making it a little bit of a curse word. I’m not offended or anything…but I thought you might want to correct it, as you don’t seem like the cursing kind of lady :)

    Feel free to delete my comment if you want.

    I wish I’d loved the fit of these shirts! They were a bit too mock turtleneck and way too long on me (surprised since you are so petite yourself!). Modify the fit a bit and I’d buy every one!!

    The T-shirt link is dead, which kills me because one of my students just called me a “quaintrelle” and now I really want to wear it! <3 Where can I order one?
