I purchased the Ringspun Licorice tee in Bright Tulip last week. It is not as pink as it appears online, it is more of an orange-pink- coral. The shade in fact, is nearly a perfect match for the henley and ruffle cardigan I have in Sweet Papaya.

The Licorice graphic is distressed and printed in white and a darker shade of pinkish red. I wore this top layered with the long sleeve Rhubarb tissue tee which is a great match for this darker pink shade. The graphic is surrounded by tiny pale gold sequins. The sequins give the tee some sparkle without being gaudy.

The Licorice tee fits the same as previous ringspun tees. I size up to a small, so the tee is not skin tight. For me, the small is fitted in the chest and arms, relaxed in the waist. The tee hits at the low hip. The material is not see through in this shade.

Although I was hoping the Licorice tee would be more pink, I am still pleased with it. I actually have more in my closet that coordinates with it as the Sweet papaya shade it is.
