With how quickly styles change, it’s not all that enticing to spend $100 on a new top. If you are nodding your head in agreement, we have just the thing for you. Grab some boozy donuts and a cup of hot cocoa and prepare to be dazzled with these 15 T-shirt hacks that are totally T-errific.
1. Triangle Tee: All you need for this DIY is an old tee and some fabric paint. Did we mention we are suckers for a triangle pattern? (via Offbeat + Inspired)
2. Arrow Graphic Tee: We love this black-and-white tee especially when paired with leather leggings. (via Kristi Murphy)
3. Cutout Denim Shirt: We are absolutely obsessed with this cutout denim shirt. It is so chic and sassy we can hardly stand it. (via A Pair And A Spare)
4. Zipper Racer Back: This DIY takes a regular old spaghetti strap tank and makes it fabulous. How gorgeous is this? (via Trash to Couture)
5. Lettered Shirt: Would you ever believe this shirt was made using bleach and stencils? We love a monochromatic color palette too. (via Brit + Co.)
6. Wool Sweater: This sweater was made from a pleated wool skirt skirt. Can we get a “yay” for up-cycling? (via KM17)
7. Flamingo Tee: We absolutely heart this flamingo pattern. Since spring is right around the corner, tees like this are just the thing to start stacking up in your closet. (via Livera)
8. Studded Silk Shirt: This studded silk shirt is one of those pieces you can wear to the office and then straight out to a night on the town. The stud buttons send this shirt right into couture territory. (via A Pair And A Spare)
9. Striped Peplum Top: We love how Viktoria took a thrift find and made it adorable. One note she mentions is you will want to buy a top that is too big, so you can have enough fabric to work with for the peplum effect. (via By Viktoria)
10. Sequin Fitted Tee: Style projects are even better when they are no-sew. Enter this sparkly number. (via Brit + Co.)
11. Crop Top: This dress turned crop top and skirt is just magical. We also happen to love this houndstooth pattern. (via The Felted Fox)
12. Anthropologie-Inspired Squeezebox Top: This Anthro-inspired top has all of the cuteness you can get at the store without the hefty price tag. Listen up … this baby was made for only $8. (via Welcome to The Good Life)
13. Circle Knit Top: Circle tops are a trend that we are completely buying into right now. They look so adorable with some skinny jeans. (via Honest To Nod)
14. Floral Crop Top With Cuffed Sleeves: We have been swooning over high-waisted jeans as of late. And this shirt absolutely completes this retro look. (via Cotton + Curls)
15. White Peplum Top: This DIY peplum top was made from a fitted t-shirt and a larger t-shirt. We think this is absolutely genius. (via Love Maegan)
So what do you guys think? Are these tops at the top of your list? Let us know in the comments below.
Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
