For Me



This weekend  I am going to an outdoor festival and its gonna be hot. I didnt really want to buy anything, or spend money. So i thought okay, well i need strapless, if its sunny, because my bestfriends wedding is next week and i cant have tan lines, then i thought i cant wear leggins because its just TOO hot out, i need something light, tee shirt material, and i dont really like showing my legs too much.... So i came up with this adorable reconstructed Teeshirt dress! and i love it! so comfy, not tight or restricting for a festival, Its loose but flattering, just the right length, I dyed it so it would be darker incase i sit on the ground and stuff, and then i added one of my screenprints on there.
Fun, can't wait for the music fest!

For Mom



My mom is so cute, she bought two shirts, and told me exactly what she wanted!
it was great, no guessing, and no buts about it. She's gonna look fab!
