Introduction + DIY Painted Tank

Well, since I missed introducing myself on the first post I made, here is a little bit about me.

I am deeply in love with my husband of 1 1/2 years. He is the one who encouraged me to finally start a blog when I would blog-stalk all my favorite fashion bloggers. We love being active and playing sports, but lately we've also realized how much we love staying home and spending time together watching Grey's Anatomy or just reading. 

I am also one of nine kids. Yes, nine. No, my parents were not Catholic and contrary to what many socially inept people have asked, they did know what caused children. :) Aren't my siblings gorgeous? I love being in a large family, most of the time. 


My husband and I recently moved to a Chicago suburb, AND we went and saw the Bean. I was thrilled about that. I think I was excited about it because of the scene in The Vow where they went and took pictures. It was beautiful. My recent blog is called SecondHand Couture, and I would be absolutely thrilled if you fellow refashioners checked it out and followed me. Leave me a comment that you're a new follower and I'll follow you back!  

So, I will leave you with this project after my long introduction. On the Fourth of July, I couldn't find a shirt that I wanted to wear, and after trying on approximately 1/4 of my clothing, I decided to just paint a shirt. That's right... paint a shirt. I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but I loved it!

 It was simple to make, and if the lines aren't even, you don't have to measure anything, and it looks offbeat and great. I love how it turned out!
The shirt was incredibly simple to do, but if you would like a more detailed tutorial and notes, here's my original post.
I hope all of you guys have an incredible Saturday!

EDIT: On my blog in the Read It section, you guys can link up your blogs. You should do it!
