Things you do not normally see on my blog: yoga pants |
A couple months ago I made Aaron go through his closet and give me whatever he didn't want. I ended up with two of his collared shirts. One became a skirt and the other hung out in my closet while I figured out what to do with it.
Eventually I decided I just wanted to take it in. I love button up shirts and I can always use another one.
I turned it inside out and laid a shirt that fits me well on top. I traced around with my fabric marking pen, did a quick sewing job and voila. Freeeee new shirt.
The fit is a little looser and quite long with dropped shoulders. It's super comfortable. My favorite way to wear it is with skinny jeans-

Best part of these pictures? The dead tree attacking my head. |
But it also works tucked into my favorite skirt-

Tyra would be wondering where my neck went |
And, in other shirt news, let me introduce you to my freshman roommate, Nicole (you can call her Miss Micoe):

Nicole loved that one ruffled shirt as much as we all did but instead of spending like 3 hours trying to locate the original (not that I did that), she made her own. And took some super awesome pictures in the process.
Love it.
How did I not guess that the 80's night picture would be the one posted?
ReplyDeleteI totally love you Kayla. :D
all your re-purposing has made me all itchy to get my machine back. today at 3!!! the only problem is I have too many ideas of what I want to work on that I can't decide what to do first!

i've always thought it would be fun to buy some vintage men's button-ups and repurpose them so i could wear them. but inside i know i'm not really that ambitious.
ReplyDeletei laughed about the dead tree attacking your head! ha
I never thought of going through my husbands closet to rework his clothes. Smart girl.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
