Black Tee & Boyfriend Shorts: Dumpster Diving

black tee, boyfriend shorts, brown wedge sandals

Okay, I wasn’t dumpster diving per se, but I did spend the majority of my weekend in a dumpster. That got your attention, now didn’t it?

My love and I rented a giant roll-off dumpster this weekend (yes, I live such a glamorous life) so that we could rid our garage and various other areas of the insane amount of clutter we’ve acquired over the course of living in the same place for 22 years. Do you realize how much crap can accumulate over that much time? Well, I’m here to tell ya, A. Lot. This dumpster is so big it has a door on the end. You know, so you can stroll right inside your spacious dumpster and fill it up with all the things that didn’t make the cut. We were merciless too; nothing was safe. And to be honest, I found so many things that I looked at and thought, “Um, ya..what is that and why exactly did I keep it?” The garage is now totally done and I have to say I feel almost, I don’t know…lighter? I’m not sure if that’s the word I’m looking for, but it just feels so good knowing the garage is clutter free; I guess I didn’t realize what a subconscious stressor it was. And bonus points because I don’t have to worry about losing the min pin out there amidst the rubble anymore.

I realize this might just look like a basic black tee, (and it’s 50% off!) but I have to tell you, it is right in the tee sweet spot. Of course I have other black tees; my Stylemint tee used to be my favorite, but this one has knocked it down a notch. What puts this one in the sweet spot of tee perfection? It’s soft and drapey and has barely there rolled sleeves…that’s what puts it over the top. Why? Well, sleeveless is good when it’s warm, but also when it’s cooler out and you want to layer under a blazer or cardigan; therefore, black tee perfection. Since the black tee is the star of today’s show, everything else is super simple; denim boyfriend shorts and wedge sandals. Nothing fancy, just perfection.

I envy you. We have a basement full of junk. I’ve been pondering getting a dumpster for years but haven’t pulled the trigger. It’s easy to store stuff with the delusional belief you may someday need it again, but I haven’t touched anything down there in a decade. Disposing of it would, as you say, be good for my mind. Good observational post!

I need a perfect tee! Love that one! And your hair looks amazing, Debbie. Yeah, I need to get rid of some clutter myself. I know it will feel good when it’s done.

I need that dumpster. We spent our weekend taking items to Goodwill and then me listing them online for sale. I’m proud I’ve actually sold one item already. Also a big sigh of relief knowing I don’t need to have that dreaded garage sale if I can sell online instead.

We’ve only lived in our house for 10 years and I feel like my basement is starting to look too close to a hoarder so I can just image 22 years of stuff.

Your black tee fits you beautifully. Love how you’ve styled it with basics. I know what you mean about accumulating junk over the years! I think I need to do some clearing out myself.

oh girl, we would so rock out to some def leppard, and others!!! i think we are brain twins with the exception of that storm chasing thing…i run from them not towards them!! i too love mixing dressy and casual, prints, and have an overabundant growing collection of graphic tees!! We need to meet! I love your attitude regarding wearing what you want and not worrying about your age! Your style is totally on point! LOVE YOU!!!

Gosh Deb, I dont want to say my husband is part of the rat pack ( not the 40s singing group) but lets put it this way. computers from the 1980s are taking up space in our garage! I would so love to dump so much crap out.. but ya know! Anyhow, cute outfit with the boyfriend shorts, love the brown sandals too!

Thank you for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday!
