"Take your favorite pair of denim cut-offs that are in need of a makeover before summer officially hits. Flip your shorts over and prepare to seam rip the back pocket off. Put some muscle into it!

Cardigan "This cardigan was a little too boxy and boyish for me so I added the frillier elements from the dress onto it. Dress "I was really into the peplum shape of this dress so I didn't want to do too much to it. Oxford "I trimmed the top and sleeves off, converting the sleeves into straps for this tank top. Sweatshirt "I wanted to make this into something appropriate for summer so it got the crop-tank treatment. "Start with a plain white tee, and lay your favorite tank top on top of it. "This was really fun.
