Shirt Around My Neck

I wore a shirt around my neck today.


Dress: Converse One Star, Target, $7.48 (clearance)
Scarf: DIY by me, Walmart, $3 (clearance)
Shoes: Apostrophe, Thrifted, $4.99
Glasses: SEE Eyewear
I made this fringy scarf using an old shirt and this tutorial from PS I Made This. I love a good, easy DIY. This takes absolutely no thought to do. An old shirt, good scissors, cutting and you're done.



I've held on to the shirt I made the scarf out of for a while. I bought it at Walmart off a clearance rack thinking it would look perfect with leggings because it was long and loose. It ended up looking like a sack on... which I, of course, found out at home since I didn't bother to try it on at the store. Oops. I liked the design of the stripes, so I held on to it, determined to recreate it into something else. The minute I found this tutorial I knew it would be perfect for this shirt. I think I was right - what do you think?

P.S. Yep, that's my messy kitchen. I didn't get home until late today because I picked my little brother up at school. It was too dark to take a picture outside so I improvised. Hope you don't mind! :)

Cheetah Style

Top: Poof!, Thrifted, Old
Dress: R.J. Stevens by Carol Escritor, Thrifted last year
Belt: Cheapie that came with something I bought
Boots: Thrifted, Old
Glasses: SEE Eyewear
Pardon my silly face in this picture - Let's concentrate on this dress! It is one of my all time favorite dresses. I found it while shopping in one of my trusty thrift stores and knew it would be coming home with me immediately. I know animal prints are HUGE right now but I actually bought this last year sometime. I don't really think animal prints are ever "out" - so long as they're worn correctly. This dress has a fantastic, classic fit to it and just so happens to have a fun animal print as well. That makes it a closet staple in my book.


Plus, it has nice twirling capabilities. Not that I find myself dress twirling very often... but when the feeling hits, it hits. :)


Don't you love those ugly, cheapie belts that come with certain tops/dresses? (Note: This one did not come with this dress.) No? Me either. This is actually one of those belts that I happened to not get rid of because... I don't know. I guess I thought somewhere down the line I would use it someway somehow. Today was it's day. I wanted the dress to take center stage so I didn't feel my typical black braided belt would work. Too much. This belt was nice and simple so it won. I think it looked pretty darn good too! Not too shabby for a freebie!
