For the second installment of Down to a Tee, I sought out my close friend Pilar to produce a polished take on t-shirt attire. From her lipstick choices to her assortment of dainty jewelry, she is constantly inspiring me to prettify my own closet; her refined and elegant sensibility permeates her entire way of life. I’m honored to present a visual breakdown of what makes the outfit uniquely Pilar, as well as her response to the question: How do you style your t-shirts?

There is so much visually stimulating and emotionally fraught goodness in the original Valley of the Dolls movie that I hardly know where to begin. For those unfamiliar with the ’60s film, based on a best-selling book by Jacqueline Susann, it tracks the downfall of three young women whose lives revolve around cinema, the stage, relationships, and stardom. I’ve determined the three superlative aspects that truly define the film are style, scene, and sensation.
The atmosphere/mood, environments, and costume choices were all sources of inspiration for me. The clothes and interiors are timeless, simultaneously serving as a souvenir of the era, while the cinematography turned certain segments into pure art. It’s impossible to isolate scene from style or style from sensation, since they’re all interwoven to paint a portrayal of imperfection, self-destruction, and ostentatiousness. Because of this, I snapped every still I could to impart the perfection that this movie encapsulates.

For a captivating office outfit, choose a bold top and downplay it with ladylike details and a coordinated color palette. Prim, pointed flats in patent leather replace the predictable pump with an understated, yet still authoritative, message.
