Disclosure: I received the product in this post free in order to conduct my review. All opinions are my own, and 100% honest.
For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in the world of fashion. The runway, the designers, the cut of a beautifully tailored blazer, or better yet, feeling the different fabrics when you're at the fabric store!
Over these last few years, I've realized just how much the clothing you wear can impact your life. I feel like the way we present ourselves on the outside, reflects how we're feeling on the inside. For the past several years, I've just wanted to fade away into the background and hoped that no one would notice me. I didn't really care about my appearance.
The Problem?
Now I care! I can't state that enough. It feels amazing to actually want to take better care of myself.
The Solution!
Learning to take pride in what I wear. Even if it is just jeans and a t-shirt. Your wardrobe speaks to the world, visually, since you can't always address people verbally.
This is precisely why I immediately fell in love with what Jamie Greenberg created with her unique brand, Devils May Care. Through combining her experience and passion for photography with fashion, she has changed what the phrase "jeans and t-shirt" can mean to a person. Starting with an exclusive, limited edition collection of belt buckles, and later growing to include some great apparel for both men and women.
Devils May Care has been spotted on American Idol, in New York Magazine, in the independent film Girls Against Boys and bought by celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Biz Stone, and Dean Winters.
I was sent the "Smoke Before Fire" Unisex V-Neck Tee to review. It arrived in a decent amount of time, and came nicely packaged in tissue paper with the signature DMC logo sticker to seal the deal. I could instantly feel how soft the shirt was when I touched it, and though at first I didn't like the idea of the navy/pink colour combination, they turned out to work really well together.
I didn't get a chance to wear it right away. I wanted to save it for a night out (and as a mom that doesn't happen very often). Until then, I took a peek at the little details. The seams were strong and even for the most part. There was this one spot under the left arm where the stitching is a little off (see below). Nothing overly noticeable. I liked that instead of a typical tag, there was just the logo printed right on the back of the shirt (see above). Nothing to irritate you in that department. The graphic itself is beautiful. I appreciate the artistry that goes into taking just the right photo to use, and that each tee is individually screened.
Even though I tend to prefer 100% cotton for shirts in general, I couldn't get over how light and smooth the tri-blend (cotton, polyester, rayon) material was against my skin, when I finally did get the opportunity to put it on. It fit so well. Snug, but not tight or clingy. I wore it to a concert, but I look forward to wearing this just about anywhere. Versatility is important for me when I'm going to be spending money on pretty much anything, but especially for clothing. So far after quite a few washes, it hasn't shown any signs of aging or fading either.
