Happy Wednesday lovelies! Today I have a quick and easy tip to share with you about refashioning t-shirts. Earlier this year when the DALLAS MAVERICKS won the championship, I was lucky enough to get to attend a couple of the playoff games. During those games, they gave away playoff t-shirts to everyone in attendance! Awesome right...well...that t-shirt was an X-Large. But no problem because with a pair of scissors and some creativity you can turn any t-shirt into a FASHION statement.
I turned the Mavericks t-shirt into a halter. I cut down the neck to give it a slight v-neck. I cut the sleeves completely off, and I cut out the back of the shirt a little more than half way. How deep you cut everything is completely up to you and depends on how much skin you are willing to show.
Then I cut a slit down the middle of the back. And cut 2 inch strips to tie the shirt back together (to make it fit the waist).
Sorry I don't have more pictures. I made this shirt before we started the blog! But let me know if you have any questions. And it looks a little scandalous but you can always wear a bandeau top underneath to minimize the visible skin.
Here's one more that's really quick and simple. Take a t-shirt that is slightly big on you (not XLarge big), I bought a men's medium. Cut around the collar about 2 to 3 inches creating a large scoop neck. And that's it. Start small and trim the cut more as you go so you don't do too much.
See how the shirt falls off the shoulder? I was wearing an orange tank top underneath, and I knotted the bottom of the shirt in the back to make it tight around the waist. Oh...and I decided I should introduce you all to my fiance :) Isn't he adorable?!?
I have LOTS more ideas for shirts and I can't wait to try them! I'll definitely take more instructive photos on the next set of shirts.
And - in case you're wondering - those gorgeous earrings are $3.80 from Forever 21.
Let me know if you guys have any other tricks for making a large t-shirt fit or refashioning it into something trendy.
Hope you have a gorgeous Wednesday!!!
