My uniform of choice… jeans & T-shirt. Lately, I’ve become one of those girls that finds a great T-shirt, then I buy it in every color (and sometimes doubles!). My favorites are these Boyfriend V necks from Target with a cute little pocket. I buy them when on sale for about $5 each. I cannot resist. As comfy as they are, sometimes it gets a little dull. Thus, this little revamp was born. Using some pre-made fabric flowers I’ve had lying around (that I purchased very much on clearance), I brought a little springtime into this otherwise drab T. I stitched them on by hand, which is surprisingly therapeutic! Easy project. Can’t wait to sport this little number during such a cold, snowy winter.

I love this shirt refashion! It’s taken me about a year to photograph this and share it… Slacker. I know. Well, I am sharing now, right?! Right. So, both of these shirts were from The Salvation Army in Honolulu (when we lived there). I loved this red t-shirt simply for the geta sandals (close-up image below) on the front! However, it was a little snug for my taste. I believe I saw this project in one of my t-shirt project books, Tease, I believe it was. Well, it’s simple, obviously. Slice up the middle, add in the buttons and collar from another thrifted shirt and…Voila! New fun super comfy shirt! I especially like the rough, unfinished edges that I left on the white shirt, and the red thread is also pretty fun. I love collared shirts, but this one has the yummy comfiness of a t-shirt! Can it get any better? Oh yeah, and my husband has requested one!! Can’t wait to make his and share that too!
