The tease of Spring in East Tennessee has us itching for warmer days and a wardrobe update, and we bet you're feeling the same way. If you're anything like us, you're already taking fashion inspiration cues from all over Knoxville, but maybe most especially from the closets of your own stylish squad. We teamed up with our friends over at Bliss downtown to style some of our locally printed shirts with their fashion-forward clothes and accessories! We love the laid-back, effortless sense of style that Bliss curates, and how it elevates our casual cool graphic tees into a full on fashion statement. Read on to see how we'll be wearing our NTF tees anywhere and everywhere this season! 

Since Tennessee doesn’t seem quite ready to give up on Winter just yet, we’ll be wearing some version of this look over and over ‘til the weather sorts itself out. Cozy up in ourTri-Star long sleeve in Vino with ourarmy bomber jacket - style it with jeans, a leather wristlet bag, and this adorable sherpa beret all from Bliss - a few more chilly days won’t slow you down!

Borrowed from Bliss for this outfit:

  • Hobo Sable VI wristlet
  • Do Everything In Love sherpa beret
  • Free People Busted skinny jeans

Speaking of Spring, anyone else thinking St. Patrick’s Day but make it fashion?? Yes, please. The right jumpsuit has the power to take you from plain ‘ol t-shirt and jeans territory into something super chic. We layered our  Shamrock Tenn tee over this Reset by Jane waist tie jumpsuit from Bliss - the trick is to tie up your tee at the waist and show off that cute collar at the neck! Pair it with some leopard print mules and statement-making white sunnies to complete the look. It *is* easy being green after all.

Borrowed from Bliss:

  • Mercury Sunglasses retro white sunglasses
  • Reset by Jane waist tie jumpsuit
  • Able Marlene Feminine Mule in leopard print

As always when looking for outfit inspiration, we find ourselves wondering the classic question: what would Dolly do? She’d put on her sparkliest accessories and find the nearest party, probably. You can do so in style and comfort with this look - we paired ourParton My French tee with some white jeans, a confetti-filled bag, disco ball cup, and these essential pink sunnies.

Borrowed from Bliss:

  • Articles of Society Katie Cut-Off Hem jeans
  • Packed Party Confetti bucket bag
  • Packed Party Disco Drink Cup
  • Blue Gem jelly sunglasses

A game day look doesn’t have to include a pair of jeans - we love how these fun and flowy Jealous Tomato pants from Bliss go with ourSic ‘Em tee for a fashionable ‘fit! Toss on a denim jacket, graphic earrings, and some laser cut shoes and you’ve got a winning (and comfy!) game day OOTD.

Borrowed from Bliss:

  • Boho Gal Faisal earrings
  • Musse & Cloud Nikita lasercut shoes
  • Thread & Supply Marina Raw Hem denim jacket
  • Jealous Tomato mixed print pleated pants

For the warmer game days, this orange and white embroidered mini skirt is too cute with ourTennessee Script raglan - add some cool slip-on, high top sneakers and some tassel earrings, and don’t forget your orange sunnies and clear bag for the stadium! You’ll be tail gate ready and (more importantly?) totally Instagrammable.

Borrowed from Bliss:

  • Fanfare cotton tassel earrings
  • Capri Designs Gameday crossbody
  • Sofft Britton Chelsea Sneakers
  • Lush jacquard skirt

Maybe these Free People clogs aren’t the most practical hiking shoes, but you certainly don’t have to be going toCades Cove to wear thistee and we want to wear them for everything *but* hiking. We’re in love with this super-wearable look for Spring and Summer - and if you’re in a big hurry, throw on some tights and a cardigan with it to wear this out right now!

Borrowed from Bliss:

  • Ink & Alloy 34" adjustable leather necklace
  • She & Sky faux suede Paperbag shorts
  • Free People Cedar clogs
