Black & Tan

 Hello Readers. This post is not about a beer cocktail of dark and light beers called a black and tan. This post is about a dress and a skirt. I found these at a socially distant clothes swap. I liked the colors and I am a big fan of t-shirt dresses. 

This dress was really short. I am only 5' tall and this dress was short on me. That is rare!

 

The colors of the stripes matched this skirt. The skirt was very long on me. I think it was supposed to be mid-calf length. It was like a maxi length on me and it had some serious fringe at the hem. The fringe was very thick and heavy. It seemed like it was maybe too much. 

I decided to make the striped t-shirt dress into a shirt. It was almost a shirt anyway.

I made it more narrow and a bit shorter. I used the excess for masks. I have a small collection of masks at my house so that there is always a clean mask available for all of us. 

The skirt needed to be shorter and I took the waist in a little as well. 

  I liked to the outfit. Tights, boots and a sweater made this more appropriate for the weather.

The t-shirt and masks were also great with jeans.

Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.

***Chickie's Year End Review-I love this whole outfit. I wear that shirt all the time. I love it with the skirt too. This was a winner for me.
