hippie for a day with a crop top

Anyway, I wanted something hippie/spring, so I chopped chopped chopped....a lot. I just need some high waisted pants to go with these crop tops, that would do the trick.
On another note....my husband says I have a gunther or panis in the second photo below....and I can live with that. What I can't live with is how serious I look in all these photos.....come on Lizzie...loosen up a little, will ya?

top: quincee's   bottoms: crane   necklace: grandma's   ring: f21   boots: thrifted






Supplies:
shirt
sewing machine or needle and thread
thread
scissors
flexible measuring tape
fabric pen or marking chalk
iron
 
  Instructions:
I cut the bottom or the shirt at an angle to create a long back and short front (in love with this look right now). Then I cut the sleeves of just under the lace so there was no hemming necessary. I left a raw look at the bottom of the shirt, and in order to prevent a lot of fraying, I sewed a straight stitch around the bottom, very close to the edge.

I read your about me section and I'm curious to know where near Seattle you are from because that's where I'm originally from too! I'm following you from now on!

  6. I love it! Also, you get the best boots at thrift stores. I haven't had such luck with shoes at thrift stores but I'll certainly keep looking!
