T-shirt makeover - Urban Outfitters style

I recently received a free t-shirt with a purchase (one of those buy-one-get-one-free deals) and naturally the clothing that is included in deals like those are not the prettiest. Granted, I was in a Florida surf shop so a majority of their stock was not fashion forward. So I figured this would be the perfect experimental shirt and it turned out nicely. 

When I was surfing the Urban website the other night I almost purchased a normal t-shirt with a twist, when I realized that I could make the shirt myself I decided not to pile it on top of my already $70 purchase (I Just love Urban Outfitters). 

Step One

Find an old t-shirt or a new t-shirt.

Step Two

Flip the t-shirt over so that you now have the back facing you. Find the middle of the shirt and cut a straight line. Then make the slit as big as you would like. 

Step Three

Now cut the bottom off, as short as you like. I ended up cutting quite a few inches off. Then stretch the corners after the bottom is cut off. This is where you will tie it.

Step Four

Tie the knot. Make sure you stretched the fabric enough so that you can double-knot it and still have fabric hanging down from the knot (makes it look better).

Step Five

Put the shirt on with your favorite backless bra, tank top, or my favorite bra to wear with low-back shirts from Forever 21.

Enjoy your breezy summer shirt! If you like in Texas like me, you will be thankful.

Four ingredient sugar scrub

At first I was very skeptical at whether sugar scrubs actually worked.. Then I  started experimenting with them and I must say they really do smooth your skin. I haven't stopped using this scrub since I made it!

What you will need

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup raw sugar

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

An airtight container

Now all you have to do is simply combine all the ingredients.  

 

                      

This is the easiest recipe and is made with common ingredients found in your pantry. What I love about this scrub is the fact that I know everything that goes in it. I have very sensitive skin and it is great not to worry about having a reaction to any harsh chemicals.

After it is all mixed package in an airtight container. I used a small mason jar, but any container should work. Now use your sugar scrub in the shower or just scrub it on your hands, rinse it off, and now you have silky smooth skin. 

Enjoy,

Mae
