REFASHION: My something more shirt

Have you ever refashioned something and think "Is this cute? Do I like this? Can I make this cuter?" I took a nice light purple T-shirt and made an asymmetrical cut. I absolutely fell in the love with a bright multi-color table runner found at a consignment store. I cut a long strip from the table runner, turned it into a long tube, and added it the bottom hem of the shirt.
123.gray

 Before trying the shirt on, I slimmed down the sleeves. I love the new look of the shirt -- it's simple but super cute. I love the pop of color on the hem, and the sleeves are perfectly slim. But a few questions kind of nagged me. "Is this kind of plain?"  "Does the shirt need something more?" I'll wear the shirt a couple of times and hope inspiration hits me. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share in the comment section. Thanks!

    What about adding more of the patterned material, either at the neck (binding) or as an applique on the front (squares, hearts, owls, cat face outline - something simple)?

    And why can I see these ideas when it's not MY refashion?! I freeze up when I look at my stuff!

    P. S. It's very cute, by the way! The fabric on the bottom does something extra for the asymmetrical cut.

    I think wearing it is a great idea. You can see what inspiration strikes you. The purple is very pretty and I like the uneven hem.
