Today’s shirt began as one of my least favorite types of clothing. The preppy Oxford.

Bleh. I hate oxfords. I’m about to do a number on this one by Ralph Lauren. The top of this shirt had a couple of small stains on it, so I just chopped it off.

I turned the raw edges under twice, and pinned them down. For the sleeve sections, I pinned them together. I ran it all under my machine, and pressed my new hems.

Now I have a cute, non-oxford top!

And check out the back!

I spent most of the day being lazy…watching old movies and playing old video games. We all need a lazy day every now and again, right?

I hung out in my swimsuit all day in preparation for an evening swim (kind of like I did when I was a kid) with a couple of very awesome guys. 🙂

Cheers!
i think it looks cute that you tie the sleeves i saw the refashionista take it off it was supper cool! ^.*
hahahahaha im on here yay even thou i look bad
Maybe cutting the sleeves off instead of just tying them in the back would make it look less like a hurried project. Just sayin’……
Haha you look most unimpressed in that first photo, good on you for chopping into a Ralph Lauren! Great summer top
