Pendleton Remix



I liked the warmth and colors of a plaid mens Pendleton wool shirt I picked up at Salvation Army, but it became clear that I would never wear it out of the house because it was so shapeless. So I cut a fitted cropped bodice out of the existing body of the shirt (the back of the original became the front of my version) and reset the original sleeves into the new smaller armholes (giving a slight gathered poof effect at the top of each shoulder). The neckline is sort of boat-like in the front and a lower squarish cut in the back: I've left it unfinished for now, which I like with the shiny necklaces I want to wear over it.
