...love Maegan's DIY T-Shirt Dress

About two months ago, ...love Maegan created a fantastic "recycle your clothes" DIY dress. I loved it! Not only did it look super fabulous and comfortable, but she created it simply with a white t-shirt, by way of her husband's closet.

I'm game for any DIY using my husbands t-shirts. He has a few hundred white t-shits in every brand, and goes through these shirts much faster then I can get the old ones out, before a new few dozen come in. Which leaves me with plenty of shirts to be creative and have fun with.

So, I made my way into his closet and searched around for the one I would use. Well, one ended up turning into two, because the first one I used was slightly more see through on the tush then need be...of course I realized that after the fact ;)

I loved my new white dress so much, I decided I wanted one in my absolute favorite, staple color, which 90% of my wardrobe consists of: black.







My headband in these pictures, is one I absolutely love. It is an actual ...love Maegan original, featured here, which I wore before in a few clips here.

Thank you Maegan! I love my new little black dress, and the awesome feeling that comes along with being able to say 'I made it'.

  8. Oh, and P.S. what brand are your leggings? You'd think finding leggings would be easy 'cause they're so basic, but such is not the case... and you and are built similarly, so if they look good on you, they'd work for me...
