(diy thrifted sunset shirt, leather cap from ebay, rubber pouch clutch, dvf patent leather pumps)

i found this hideous sunset/palm tree print oversized shirt at a thrift store the other day. its by a brand called sideout, which was big in the 90s and in california its a rather embarrassing brand. i stared at it a long time and decided it could possibly have potential. price tag said 99cents so i needed no further convincing. i took it home, cut off the sleeves and turned it into a oversized dress. glad to see my dollar didnt go to waste after all. next time youre at a thrift store, keep your eyes open for XL men's shirts with an interesting print. you just may find your next favorite dress!





ps. some of you guys have asked about seeing a photo of the metallic dripped pants being worn, i will post it soon. i just found the perfect shirt to wear with it!

pps. for those of you asking about the neon H&M wetsuit- i got it at the H&M store in brea, ca.
