From 80 to 20.....




Ever have a t-shirt in your closet that you like.....but don't seem to wear that often?  Maybe it's the fit, the colors, the style-but when you bypass it (embedded in 80% of your closet) on the way to a more favored choice, it's a missed opportunity.  Well, my daughter had two such shirts in her closet that somehow came along on our recent beach trip.  She and her friend modeled the cute, but not adorable, shirts before they went for a makeover. Bright, fun, but not necessarily memorable.








Enter scissors, an opportunity for reinvention, some leftover trims and a whimsical sense of fun, and voila!  Two like-new shirts made from time and effort alone that may now reside in the favored 20% of our closets that we all visit daily. And two girls that think that upcycling rocks- which may be the best part of all for me.
