Had To Have It: Free People T-Shirt

I'm excited about starting a new series on the blog! I'm calling it "Had To Have It," and it'll be a semi-regular series featuring something new and fabulous I saw in a store or online and just had to have :)

(Last week I showed you a gorgeous necklace - Nordstrom is taking their sweet time delivering it so I don't have it yet :( rest assured I'll show y'all a picture when it finally arrives.)

In the meantime, here's what I had to have this week - can you tell I'm really enjoying having a regular income again?!

Finding the perfect T-shirt has always been a challenge for me. I don't consider myself super picky, but for some reason, the right t-shirt just hadn't found its way to me... til now! 

I randomly picked up this Free People Keep Me T-shirt at the mall over the weekend and tried it on. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. It fit every single one of my "musts" for a t-shirt -- crazy soft, stretchy but not too oversized, loose but not baggy, long enough to cover my butt if I wanted to wear it with leggings, solid enough to wear alone but light enough to layer over a tank if needed... we had a winner!

I took it home that night in white and ordered it in charcoal grey to be sent to me. I then proceeded to wear the white one for the next three days straight - to dinner with Ram, to San Diego with his family for a little day trip, to work with a cute oversized sweater. It's the perfect shirt! Can you blame me for driving to Free People yesterday and buying a THIRD in fuchsia?! 

I am definitely the type of person who falls in love with something and buys it in every color, but when it's something as basic as a t-shirt, I don't even feel bad about it. I know I'll wear these in every color nonstop... I'm already eyeing the heather purple and olive ones! 

The shirt retails for $58 but you can find the red and blue ones cheaper here or here. See all the colors here. Go and get you one!
