It's Thrifty Thursday!

Last week we said a fond farewell to Summer, so this week we've been saying hello to fall.

Perfect accessory for cooler weather, it's fashionable and fun! Break out those knitting needles and follow the simple guidelines to your own head wrap!

Monday's Daily Dose of Inspiration!

T-shirts are already known as a staple pieces across the fashion industry, but it is so easy to get bored with pairing them with skinny jeans and a scarf. So we scoured the internet to find the latest t-shirt trends, just for you! Reinvent the wardrobe you already have by mix and matching these trendy outfit ideas.

First, lose the scarf and pair a cotton tee with a funky necklace and stylish jacket! It dresses the tee up, while still keeping the outfit cool and interesting!

Instead of just jeans and a tee, pair your favorite plain t-shirt with a patterned jean. The more outlandish the pattern, the better! 

Next time you have a night out, throw on your cropped top tee and pair it with a pencil skirt. The skirt dresses the tee up without looking like you're trying to hard. 

Champion Direct is always looking for new ways to inspire our customers! Share with us your picks of your favorite ways to dress up a cotton tee!
