I'm having a hard time finding new tshirts that can be worn pretty much all the time. Something with a minor detail (like a ruched vneck - nothing crazy) that enables it to be dressed up as well as down. Nothing too tight or too loose, I want something that skims my body without making me look or feel like I'm wearing a sausage casing.
I used to be able to buy some that I liked from Old Navy, but they discontinued the style and all their new styles are either too tight or too loose. I wear these shirts until they're worn out so buying something trendy doesn't appeal (and I'm not a "fashionable" person so I feel awkward in things obviously on trend) and I look outdated when the trends change.
Gap's shirts aren't much better. They don't hang right, have boring necklines, almost always have a blasted chest pocket, and have limited colors. I ended up buying a few but I'm tired of only having shirts in black, white, navy, or some version of a medium blue.
I tried Lands End, but the tall tshirt I bought didn't go wide enough in the shoulders so the sleeve seam was on top of my shoulders instead of closer to the edge/arm. This one (http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-short-sleeve-lightweight-cotton-modal-gathered-v-neck/id_282967_58) has potential as far as colors and styling, except for the center-line seam in front (not usually flattering), LE shoulder sleeve seam as a potential issue, and the cost.
Any suggestions for a place where the tshirts skim the body, come in a variety of colors, and aren't crazy expensive (it's a tshirt!)?
Shopping was so much easier pre-baby! Being small chested and now having a bigger belly than before is about the worst combination for getting a tshirt that looks nice on me.
