Everyone always says that your wardrobe is never complete without the little black dress but another basic must have in 2010 is the basic tee.

Since I am mildly obsessed with basic tees, I have created a small guide on how to create the perfect look when wearing a basic tee shirt.

Step 2. Pick the look that suits you

The best part of a basic tee is that you can transform it into any look. All you need to do is accessorize accordingly. If you are going for a casual feel throw on some really fun and colorful flats with your basic tee to maintain a feminine and playful look. But if you feel like dressing up your tee, here is what you need:
