Tee-Tee Time

       Living in Los Angeles is absolutely amazing if for no other reason than the weather.  As a New Englander for the past 28 years of my life, I'm more than accustomed to the feeling that I'm being personally attacked by mother nature.  The bitch is bi-polar and needs to be heavily medicated.  In the past year alone, we endured blizzard levels of snow (there was so much snow last winter, they litereally ran out of places to put it, and just going out into the street near my apartment made me feel claustrophobic...not an exaggeration, hello S.A.D.), a devastating tornado, and a pre-Halloween blizzard. By the time the latter struck, I'd been living in LA for 4 months...nice try Ma Naych. 
       So, now that I don't have to dress like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man just to go to the gym, I'm enjoying dressing very lightly when I take my daily hike.  I discovered this ahhh-mazing way of making drapey tank tops that are great for throwing on pre-hike.  All you need are old oversized t-shirts and a pair of scissors. I used two of Leading Man's American Apparel tee's. In my defense, he'd given them to me because they were too small on him, but nonetheless, cue "Is that my t-shirt?!" as I stroll  in from a hike. I also love the loose fit.  I'm so over dressing like a vienna sausage when I work out. 

The tee-torial for your edu-ma-cation:
 
     Note: I don't use ribbon to tie the back.  I simply use the scrap fabric from the bottom of the t-shirt.
