NYFW Day 5: My T-Shirt Launch with Carol Viliotti

NYFW Day 5 started and never in a bajillion years did I think I would ever land a t-shirt collaboration with such an awesome brand as Carol Viliotti.  When we got to talking, I was so ecstatic that she wanted to work with someone like me. We spoke about a few ideas and her and I agreed that this t-shirt collection should be one of “feisty-ness” and women empowerment. My idea was that even without saying any words, a woman can speak her mind, even in silence. And that’s where my idea, “Sassy and Classy” was formed.

The Creation of “Sassy and Classy”

“Sassy and Classy” popped into my mind when I sat back and really thought about my personality and the way I carried myself. I have a big mouth and am known to be brutally honest, but can still act professionally in the right situations. The sassiness shows a lot in what I say and it also permeates through the edginess in my clothing choices. At the same time, I also make sure I pair together some tasteful pieces whether that’s through fine jewelry or a simple dress or pant.

Then, I saw that “classy” rhymed with “sassy”, and it was like a light bulb turned on. I immediately emailed Carol with the phrase and she loved it! Next, I got to designing the font and layout of my t-shirt and Carol successfully executed my vision.

NYFW: Edging Up The Whole Look

I decided to wear my “Sassy and Classy” t-shirt on one of my days during NYFW so I could shamelessly advertise it. My blogger friend, Mary of @layersofchic_, also wore the shirt on the 1^st day of NYFW and she already had received so many compliments on it. I was so excited to see the positive response from random strangers on the street.

What’s awesome about this t-shirt is the quality of the tee. It’s a soft-touch jersey made out of organic cotton (although there is no tag that says this because it’s apparently an expensive license). The sleeve comes folded and the words are embroidered in VELVET. That’s right: it’s not screen-printed or anything cheap. It is carefully crafted by Carol herself to make this t-shirt extra special. The material is extremely soft and the t-shirt is super comfortable and airy to wear.

With a luxury tee at only $45, I am so excited to offer a high-quality shirt to my followers or any person interested in this tee. Everything is made in the U.S. and made with extreme care :-).

So, if you’re itching to support this starving artist (JK, but not really), and absolutely love this tee, please purchase one right here: https://carolviliotti.com/sassy-and-classy-by-kasey-ma/

How I Styled My T-Shirt

When picking up my design, I decided to embody exactly what the t-shirt says: both SASS and CLASS. My denim skirt, although first appearing classic, is edgy with its distressed, asymmetrical hemline on the bottom of the skirt. You can buy this exact skirt HERE. Then, I put on a black leather belt to cinch my waist together with a square, gold buckle, giving the look a little more edge with the black leather but classiness in style.

When picking out shoes, I chose these beautiful block heels that have a feel of masculinity in them. They are currently sold out, but you can buy similar ones HERE and HERE. For accessories, I paired a simple Daniel Wellington watch with a spiky gold bracelet and ring. On the other hand, I wore a gorgeous Tanzanite ring from Kay Jewelers and a coordinates bracelet from Lat & Lo. Finally, I wore one of my favorite pieces of the necklaces I own: a gorgeous Sagittarius pendant necklace from Sequin Jewelry.

Oh, and I can’t forget this gorgeous bag from isti. I can’t find where it’s shoppable online, but I found some other fierce and similar ones HERE and HERE.

And there you have it! Stay tuned for more looks.

Xoxo,

Kasey
