DIY tank


So this used to be a long-sleeved tee that I wore as a sleep shirt when the weather was cold, but one day over the summer I took out my scissors, and voilĂ ! Tank top.

Fall is actually making its way into my life, and I am soooo excited. The leaves are starting to change, I carved a pumpkin last night, I have scented hand soap that smells like the holidays... everything is just making me so happy and calm! Hopefully I'll actually be able to start wearing sweaters/jeans/tights regularly soon.

Anyway, hope your midweek day goes splendidly and that you're getting a dose of autumn cheer! (Yes, I think that is a real thing.)

wearing: DIY tank, thrifted skirt, vintage sandals, thrifted necklace, vintage cactus purse, hivenj ring

This tank top is fantastic! Love your purse as well :)

Ok, I love this top. My favorite part is what you did to the back. I love this time of year too!! I need to buy pumpkin scented candles, asap!

Ooo, fun! I especially like how cut out the back is - I feel like it's harder to find shirts with interesting backs. To often, a shirt will be really cute in the front but then boooring in the back. Ya know? :)
Anyway, long point short: I like it!
