In this new series, I'll be taking a different item you probably already have in your closet each week and showing you three new ways to wear it. After all, the best shopping tip anyone will give you is to only buy pieces that work with something you already own.]

A t-shirt is probably something you wear to the gym, or to class with a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. However, that plain, boring black tee has a lot of fashion potential.

Here, I used this black t-shirt from American Eagle Outfitters to create three cute outfits that anyone could pull off. Here are three new ways to rock a plain t-shirt:

1) Wear a bib necklace to instantly make any plain top stylish. This works best with crew neck t-shirts. For a cute daytime look, throw on a pair of jeans and wear a brightly-colored bib necklace with a few other colorful accessories.

2) For a night time look, glam up a plain tee with dark jeans paired with metallic heels and accessories (like the gold chain belt below).

3) You can even wear a t-shirt to work! Tuck it into a full, pleated skirt and add heels with a few sophisticated accessories, such as a matching leather purse. The key to this look is the t-shirt being tucked in, because wearing it out sends a more casual vibe.

    Candie – It's from Target! If you click on the picture, it will take you to Polyvore, which links to where all of the clothes can be bought.

    Wow! There are alot of ways. One way I go for is using a long silver neclace with pearl earrings…white capris…and a messy high bun with a light pink head band….It really gives a casual look to any black shirt. The color choices are very elite too.
