Unconventional

My newest obsessions consist of .99cent t-shirts from the goodwill, handmade cut off shorts and tank tops posing as mini skirts. The fixation with .99 t-shirts came from the desire to have something casual and easy to go with any outfit. I'm a fan of dope graphics and think it adds flavor to an ordinary outfit. I guess it's the way I make something totally me.

The goodwill by my apt is stocked with t-shirts that range from superman, to hello kitty, to the occasional sarcastic slogan. I've been cutting the sides and not afraid to pair it with anything! Shorts these days are way too expensive. Why buy a distressed pair that you can destroy yourself? Jump on that $5 dollar jean phenomenon at a thrift store and cut your own shorts and personalize them with plenty of bleach and tears.

S and I discovered the beauty of the "tank top miniskirt" when we had a lack of simple colored bottoms. We started wearing our tight tank tops on our hips and then layered a looser shirt over it. It's a simple solution when you want a cool print or bold color on the bottom of an outfit. Lesson of the summer : thrift stores take the cake.
