Muscle Tee from Men’s T Shirt

July 22, 2013 By Sharon Garofalow 6 Comments

andrea of for the love of

How cute is Andrea from For the Love of?  When I read this post of hers, on wearing rock n roll t-shirts, it changed the course of my summer.  Men’s graphic t-shirts are super easy to find and are usually very inexpensive.  But the fit is just so boxy and unflattering.  Long story short, make a few easy snips to make it work for you.   So I gave it a try.

I posted the results on my instagram and the people asked for a tutorial.  And what the people want, the people get.  mens t to muscle t tutorial

 

Grab a t-shirt from the men’s department and a pair of scissors.

Please don’t make me write out instructions for this…

I wore this shirt out on a fun bike ride with my friend the other night.  I’m even going to overlook my bloated stomach (after a long weekend of eating ginormous amounts of amazing food) because how rad does my hair look?  All wind-blown and fantastic.  The shirt is pretty cute too, right?  I have about 3 shirts like this.  I know I probably should vary my summer wardrobe but they are just so darn comfortable.  So, thank you for sharing Andrea!

    This is SO good! I love wearing these types of t’s under blazers. Even for client meetings-maybe that’s a bit edgy, but I sometimes think it reminds them that I’m a creative, not corporate. Ha! I’m definitely stealing this idea…. er, borrowing.
