#dressinhappinessdaily update: up-cycled sweatshirt

on thursday evening we packed our bags, grabbed our adventure jar (more on this soon!) & headed to eureka springs for a little soulcare trip (thanks, aunt roxie,  for the gift certificiate!).

i thought it was about time i upped my #dressinhappinessdaily game for our little trip.

so naturally, i hit the thrift shop & purchased that little blingy purse number (the sak & still with tags for only $3!) &... a grey sweatshirt.

i stared at that sweatshirt among the racks of worn outs & beat ups for a good ten minutes. at that moment, i remembered shannan's old man pj shirt; that baby was in my cart in less than a hot minute.

so perhaps this little up-cycled wardrobe post isn't as bold & brave as shannan's old man pajama shirt, but it was fun so i thought i'd share!

(i'm still laughing at myself for doing fashion posts...me?! really?!)

ladies, grab yo'self a sweatshirt from the thrift shop! this one was from the men's section. gray with a printed number "54." nothing special & purchased for just a couple of bucks.

it was way too tight around the neck so i cut off the collar. to cut off your collar like a total fashionista, simply use scissors or your rotary cutter & cut along the seam of the collar. 

with an undershirt, it was bunching up at the bottom so in the name of fashion, i cut off the bottom seam, too. follow the existing seam of your sweatshirt & cut!

bam! now you're in high fashion, ladies.

paired with a good pair of boots & a sexy husband, you can conquer anything!

rock that sweatshirt, girlfriend!
