So, I may not be talking about the nation that you were expecting....I am talking about Nation Ltd. tees. Before working at Beanie + Cecil, the mere thought of purchasing a $90 worn out tee was about the dumbest thing that I could possibly think of. Little did I know that within one week of working there I would be hooked. And at the rate I am wearing these tees, if I hadn't bought them worn out, they would have worn out on their own!
Creator Jen Mencher didn't always know that she would become a fashion designer. Her dad worked for NASA and hoped that Jen would follow in his footsteps....well, she didn't... and the main reason??? She would have to wear a spacesuit, of course! She "didn't have a huge interest in couture (she) just didn't want to look like a fool." Her dad would later become her career inspiration, just not in the way that he had planned.
Je
n had always loved her dad's worn out tees. They were so incredibly soft, yet with the yellow discolorations and random paint stains, she knew that she should probably not wear them in public. As a result, the perfect vintage white v-neck t-shirt was born...and it was a hit! From that one vintage tee, Nation Ltd. has blossomed into a huge line of incredibly soft cotton pieces. From celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe, to fashion icon Rachel Bilson everyone seems to be rocking these amazing tees....including me. There are tons of styles, snakeskin burnouts, little hoodies, oversized slouchy, fitted classic, fabulous long tanks...and the list continues....

ese amazingly versatile tops. I wear them to work with skinnys and flats, as well as out with jeans or harem pants and a hot pair of heels. They also look great under the perfect boyfriend blazer. The fabric's softness is indescribable, and the cuts are perfectly precise for the ultimate flattering look. The price tag reflects the quality, and once you buy one, you will definitely get your money's worth. You won't want to wear anything else....and I pretty much don't.Don't knock it until you try it. Some people may think that this obsession is downright absurd (like my finace) ....but I stand firm in strong support of my Nation.
