Hello Everyone!
Summer is here and don’t we all need some fresh new looks to liven things up a bit? I saw this men’s shirt staring at me through the window of a local Goodwill. Someone had abandoned the lovely thing on the t-shirt rack and I could see it from the parking lot. I rushed in and it was mine for a grand total of $5. It was the perfect piece to freshen up the wardrobe a bit. Summer is a great time to use an oversized men’s shirt to create a a beautiful kimono style cover up top.

It was a beautiful textured rayon as you can see by this close-up picture.
Well, that’s it for my latest project. Let me know what you think. I am always here to answer your questions!
‘Til next time…
Wow what a treasure! What a fun Summer piece………….you can really style that in multiple ways.
Hi Ami!
Yes! I can wear it over a T-shirt dress, shorts, slacks or jeans. The combinations are endless!
Mary, this is beautiful! You are so good at finding hidden treasures!
Hi Julie!
Thanks for your comments! I don’t know sometimes if I find them or they find me haha! Hope you are having a good summer!
I absolutely love what you did with this shirt. I find the fabrics in men’s shirts so much nicer than the usual ladies shirts available. This fix would also work with any shirt that is just a little bit too snug. I bought a white blouse with beautiful black emb without trying it on and when I did it is too tight but now I could just open it up and wear it over something. Thanks for the great idea Mary. I like your posts because you look more like a “normal” size.

Where’s the love button? lol This is so cute! I wonder if my husband has a shirt I can cut up. Let me see now…
Hi Sarah! Thanks so much! Welcome to my little blog. Your local thrift store is probably full of Hawaiian and floral type man shirts this time of year. Just trying to save your husband’s closet! Haha!
