The shirt I am thinking of modifying as per the IG picture above. Or, do I leave it as is? Another idea is to remove its sleeves entirely.<br /> I Like the shirt and want to reuse it.<br /> Please put in your honest ideas and thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430864 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 19:55:10 +0000 rachylou 1430864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh big yes. I hate Jean jackets. Yes, I'm a plebe. But this is pretty and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430738 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:29:16 +0000 Marilyn 1430738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could be cute!&nbsp; Different and unique.&nbsp; If the shirt in a goner anyway you have nothing to loose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430725 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:14:07 +0000 Kristin L 1430725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should give it a shot! It looks like it would be a fun project and if it doesn't work out like you want, you haven't lost anything. Please post pics so we can see it if you like how it turns out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430720 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:11:13 +0000 Laura 1430720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies. Tailoring of the sleeves, that right there puts this idea over my levels. But Jeanie, thanks for noticing this, I will give it a shot anyway as shirt is a goner. My husband raised a fuss when I bagged it in the donations, but since, I don't think he even remember it. This will make the little project more interesting and fun especially seeing his look the first time I wear it.<br /> Since my style is in the midst of changing into more professional looks, I still plan to satisfy my shirt addiction on the weekends. I plan on posting a photo of the shirt before as soon as I can. And Firecracker, you bring up a great point about my style, maybe the shirt ought to be left alone in the vein of the ripped jeans trend. This is why I love this forum. I love talking about style. Thanks ladies!<br /> PS. Janet, I'll look for Karymk's post. New at this, so in case, please link it to see. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430705 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 15:40:53 +0000 Deb 1430705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People will presume you're an artist! Give it a go if you like RATE, nothing lost if you dislike it. Personally, I'm too neat to tackle this idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430650 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 12:35:19 +0000 Staysfit 1430650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year I made a pair of paint splattered shorts, my DD, who is an artist, took one look at them and burst out laughing. All her clothes have paint on them, even the ones she tries to keep clean. She wondered why I would deliberately want my clothes to look like that. She told me to save money on paint and send everything to her :-). Oh, and yes, I love your idea! Go for it! Oil paint works well, but it's expensive, once it dries, it's hard to wash out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430609 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 06:39:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1430609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nifty idea, and great if you like a little Rough Around The Edges with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430603 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 06:25:35 +0000 Jeanie 1430603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this idea...it's really cute. &nbsp;It looks like they did some tapering on the sleeves to make them fitted at the wrists. &nbsp;The tailoring really makes it look more intentional. &nbsp;Wouldn't hurt to try, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430602 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 06:25:02 +0000 Janet 1430602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should try it! Heck, it's just getting donated anyway. ;-)</p> <p>Did you see karymk's recent thread about refashioning a chambray shirt? Taking off the chest pockets, etc. I'll have to see if I can find it. That could help complete the effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chambray-shirt-idea-restyle#post-1430584 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 05:59:16 +0000 Laura 1430584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi YLF ladies,<br /> I just saw this post on IG. And I have an old denim /chambray I took from my hubby which was in the donate pile till I saw this!<br /> I think it's kinda cute along the lines of ripped jeans which I love but would never wear with this!<br /> Anyway, I thought of cutting off its cuffs and sprinkling paint drops on it like the one on IG.<br /> Please be honest ladies! Too casual, too ragged or cute and easy to rock the torn denim trend.<br /> Xxo<br /> Laura</p> <p><a href="http://instagram.com/p/vyZiZgPnEP/" rel="nofollow">http://instagram.com/p/vyZiZgPnEP/</a> </p>
