Shirt + Skirt = Umm... Another Shirt!

A non-cliche way to wear plaid. :)
I really need to start remembering to take before pictures. So, imagine ~ if you will ~ a black t-shirt that is too tight around the hips and sleeves that are also too short. Imagine as well a red and black paid skirt with a slight A-line shape to it.

There are a million tutorials out there for making this style of shirt but I can send you the link to mine if you'd really like it. :) It's basically just the top of the t-shirt and the bottom of the skirt for the main part of the shirt and then I used the waistband of the skirt and the bottom part of the t-shirt to lengthen the sleeves.

Sorry for the cat hair still on the cloth when I took these bad phone pics. :)
