Ever buy something because its such a good bargain and you just can't resist? Well... thats what I did last summer at H&M. I saw this black t-shirt dress for $5 and was like 'Well I don't have a t-shirt dress... it is black... black matches everything... and it is summer..... why not!' So, a little over a year later, I had still never worn it.
I don't like to have things in my closet that I don't wear often (or at least see when and where specifically I can wear it), so I decided to either donate, or alter it. *Guess which choice the fashion design major did* You guessed it. Snip snip snip at this bad boy!
If it turned out bad, I was honestly planning on just making it into another yoga shirt... So, sewing scissors in hand, I started hacking away at it! This is the result:
A little slimmer on the side seams, back is ~10" shorter, front is ~14" shorter, and side slits were added. Now its just a nice tunic to throw over leggings (still practical for yoga!), or skinny jeans like mine. Wasn't that fun!?
Plus this outfit is perfect for these nice fall temperature days we've been getting sporadically in the DMV area. After all, layering is the key to happiness.
