Running with Scissors

I really shouldn't be allowed to use scissors unsupervised. This poor shirt has been through so much, it hardly counts as a shirt any longer. It was originally a Target XL t-shirt that I thought would look cute over leggings or something. Not so much. So then I just cut a ton off the bottom, and it became an oddly wide short shirt. After taking the scissors to it one last time, I think I finally came up with something I'll wear. I cut the sleeves off and fashioned it into a loose racerback. I obviously have to wear another shirt underneath it, but I like the layered look.
Shirt: Target, $5 // Jeans: Almost Famous, TJMaxx, $20 // Shoes: Lela Rose for Payless

    I'd say - if this is the result - you and scissors should get together more..! ;P

    I really like the stripes + florals combo.

    And you have a tattoo :)
    May I ask what it is..? (looks like a bee?)

    Thanks guys! I suppose this is one of my more successful scissor projects, but I've had some failures. :)

    LightStealer -

    Yes, it's a bee. My mom called me "Little Bee" growing up, and she drew the tattoo, so it's really special to me.

    You totally called it! The July issue of Vogue has a special in the back about stripes and floral patterns together. I liked it when I saw their spread, but I adore the way you put this together! Lovely!
