I have had a streak of really bad days recently. You know, all that bipolar nonsense that has been exacerbated by this pandemic? It keeps creeping up on me and sending me for a loop. When the highs are high, I feel great. But when the lows go low, I have to find a way out. And sometimes all it takes is a friendly reminder and a cute outfit to bring me back to life.

What better way to remind yourself to have a great day than a punny little graphic tee featuring the likeness of one of my favorite iconic musicians, Mr. Willie Nelson. I mean, the man exudes happiness and freedom and adventure, doesn’t he? Plus he rocks the double braids better than I do!

But enough about Willie, I really do need to discuss the tee shirt itself. I was gifted this Have a Willie Nice Day T-Shirt in my recent Bellelily haul and I could not be happier with the quality of the fabric and the graphic print.

(Disclaimer: This shirt was gifted to me for purposes of this product review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.)

It is a mid weight cotton fabric with a bit of stretch which I absolutely need in a tee shirt for comfort and movability. And it washed and dried perfectly. (By the way, I hang everything outside on the line to dry when the weather permits. The only thing that goes in the dryer is towels because they get all hard and crunchy on the line!)

Sticking with the Willie Nelson vibes, I styled the rest of my outfit with country music festivals in mind (y’all know how much I have missed music festivals this year). Daisy Dukes and a lace kimono with my very newest wardrobe acquisition…these Tony Lama cowboy boots that I found in my local thrift shop for a mere $8.99…were the main components for styling this outfit.

I added a cute canteen style rattan bag that was just $4 from TJ Maxx. And the strap broke after the first 5 photos were taken! I am going to try some crazy glue to repair it. If it doesn’t work, I guess the bag will remain strapless forever.

And then in true Willie style, I added this adorable Vintage Embroidered Floral Hollow Out Hat from Bellelily that resembles a bandana like he would wear. Except it’s not a bandana. The back is like a baseball hat with an elastic band and it is really, really comfortable to wear. I was hesitant about it when I first received it and popped it on my head. It looked awful. But once I put my hair in Willie braids, it was the perfect accessory to add another fun element to an outfit that really boosted my mood!

I have lots more Bellelily graphic tees to share with you over the next week or two, so stay tuned! They are seriously all so adorable and the quality is better than I could have imagined (especially for the budget friendly prices of Bellelily products).

If graphic tees aren’t really your thing, well then maybe we shouldn’t be friends! Of course, I am kidding. Graphic tees are such a great way to add interest and whimsy to a comfortable outfit and I think they are a necessary staple in every woman’s (and man’s and child’s) closet.

Do you wear graphic tees? And how do you style them?

Keeping it on the edge,
