T-post and Polka Dots

Happy Friday loves, another week draws to a close. How did it go for you? Full of ups and downs here, and I want to thank you all sincerly for your support and well wishes.

The post lady really has been kind to me this week, as well as my amazing leggings she also delievered a package from T-post.
What is T-post? I hear you ask...
well, it's the world's first wearable magazine, you can view a little video explanation of it here
or check out their website

"T-post is a wearable magazine. Subscribing to T-post is a lot like having
a subscription to a magazine but instead of receiving magazines in your
mailbox - you receive T-shirts. As a subscriber you receive a new t-shirt
every six weeks based on a current news item. The topic is interpreted by
select designers and the written story printed on the inside."

When they offered to send me a past issue tee so I could get a closer look, I wasn't really sure what to expect. It sounds amazing in theory, but how would it translate to reality?
The tee I was sent was Issue 40 and they are now all the way up to Issue 53, so it's clear that this is a popular idea that has really cottoned on.
The t-shirt is amazing quality, and a really quirky piece. Me being me, of course teamed mine with florals.

The actual text is printed on the inside of the shirt, so it remains a little secret just for you

Is anyone who reads here a subscriber? Do you have plans to subscribe? As soon as I'm working again, I will be!

And today, no coloured tights OR florals, nope. I've gone back to another favourite dress, this bright polka dot number

I'm currently thinking up some ideas for wearing my other pairs of Black Milk leggings, so watch this space for that!

Have a fantastic Friday,
what are your weekend plans?

Anyone score a bargain on the outnet? I know the site crashed frustratingly early for a lot of people,
I managed to get an Anna Sui dress, and I'm torn between feeling guilty...and feeling giddy. Perhaps it's fate, cheering me up during these tough times?

That black floral skirt is lovely - it really suits you. Well done on your Outnet bargain! Forgot all about it til I got to work - have been trying to get on for almost an hour with no joy. So glad to hear that someone I know got something fab! You deserve it luv. x

muchlove said...

I've never heard of T-Post, but the concept sounds really interesting. It's obviously working, seeing that they've done loads of issues already. I love a good tshirt and a clever idea, so I could see myself subscribing too!

As for your dress... I say, feel giddy! It's an ANNA SUI(!!) dress for practically a steal! Think of it as an early birthday treat xx

Fashion, Art and other fancies said...

Never heard of "T-Post" before. Your floral dress looks really good on you. Congratulations on your Anna Sui dress; sometimes buying a nice item of clothing is a great kick when one is feeling "Under the weather". xoxo

Sherin said...

I think T Post is such a cool concept. I love the skirt you paired it up with.

beingdena said...

Love the Tee, love the whole idea of it.

I was trying to enter theoutnet all morning before work and never managed to enter. you should be delighted...why would you feel guilty? well done gorgeous. x

The Woollen Typist said...

I love the T-shirt idea...but a bit too steep in price for me...until I get a full time job (one day).

No need to feel guilty...just enjoy it when it arrives for what it is.

Hope you have a better weekend...though I can definitely see that some positive things did happen during the week for you (loads of post).

Take care. xx:)

I couldn't even get to the Outnet. It seemed really crazy so I did not really bother with it.

A lot of people seemed to get really great deals though.

Manju said...

thats such a cool concept. and i love the tee!

Julia, the Thanksgiving Girl said...

Wow, first time I'm hearing about this t-post thing, sounds very interesting! I guess I'd like to test try it before subscribing though... I tend to be picky when it comes to t-shirts and need to be sure it fits just the way I want it to, including the length of the tee and the style of sleeves... LOL yeah, I am picky! Yours looks just right for you, and the print looks lovely!

Polka dots and florals are both very girly and feminine, and both are very you!

Mat said...

very cool and original idea, will check out further for sure. glad someone managed to bag a bargain on there.

sarah said...

Great outfits.The tee goes so well with the skirt, the colors are well coordinated.

Fleur said...

You have great taste in dresses! I love polka dots, but don't really understand why are they called "polka"... :D only know that the polka dance is enormous fun :)

kirstyb said...

sounds like an interesting concept x

monica said...

love both outfits!
so much colour :)

La Historiadora de Moda said...

I had never heard about T-post. I will have to investigate this further....

I really love it when I get something in the mail that isn't a bill!
