Why wear clothing the way it’s intended? Sometimes it’s fun to mix it up! Here, I show you a DIY shirt hack in two ways: as a skirt or as a bandeau top. Both of these styles are super easy–all you need is a long sleeved button down shirt for these two DIY shirt hacks.
DIY Shirt Hack #1
For this first style, simply button up your shirt around you waist. I leave the last three to four buttons unbuttoned. Tuck in the shoulders and tie the sleeves together.
Once the shirt is tied, I tuck in any extra bits that are sticking out. It’s that easy!
DIY Shirt Hack #2
For the second DIY shirt hack, button it up again but this time, leave your arms out. Again I left about four buttons unbuttoned. For this one, I needed a little help with someone tying the shirt’s sleeves behind my back.
I let the shoulder area create a little bustle in the back.
WOW!! This kind of thinking could put an end to the problem of carry-on bags that are too heavy.
This is really thinking outside the box…er shirt in this case. This particular shirt has some details that I think make it especially versatile but most of us are just not this creative. Also, you’ve got to have ample “attitude” to pull this off. Quite possibly you also need your curves!! 🙂

I’m all for packing lighter! Means more shopping along the way!! Heehee.

I love it whenever you convert shirts into something else, Annie (remember the gingham gig??), and this one takes the cake with that bustle back. So clever. So cool.
I know! I was thinking of you and the gingham with this one. I think it’s fun to wear clothing in totally other ways! Let me be the stylist. Hehehe!

Thank you Rena! Me too. Let me be the stylist of my own clothing!
