Anthropologie Inspired Constellation Shirt

A while back I bought a fabulous cheap 

gray shirt from TJ Maxx, I'm talkin

5 bucks cheap. I love these shirts

and like to buy plain ones all the time.

Either for a staple plain tee or to dress up.

This particular one I dressed up. I sewed on some

rhinestones and added cute little lace details.

After a years worth of washing though, the lace

had seen its day. 

With the rhinestones still lookin pretty sharp,

I sewed a few more on to the shirt.

And being inspired by this sweater I bought

at Anthropologie at Christmas time.

I bought some embroidery thread and mapped out

my own little dipper.

It was really fun, affordable, and easy.

Im not even an embroider-er(?) and I just winged it.

Not too shabby.

I already washed it once and it washed better than

I thought. No problems at all, the rhinestones and thread

all stayed perfectly in tact.

For a few bucks and a little

innovation, Ive got myself a new shirt.

Hope I inspired you to give new life to

something youre about ready to ditch!
