My sister called me the other day and made me proud.
She said my 12 13 12 year old niece went to the mall and told her that she was really into cropped tops.
My sister calls them "flashdance" shirts.
My niece refused to buy a shirt from the store, instead she wanted to come home and make some herself.
THAT'S MY GIRL!
She got that from trait from me.
I was so proud.
Oddly, I woke up this morning and decided this top was bothering me. I felt like it didn't have enough "slouch" to it.
So after I put in my contacts and brushed my teeth, I grabbed the nearest pair of scissors and cut the rib off the neck of the shirt.
ALL BETTER NOW!
You know, the funny thing is my fiance' (24 more days until I have to use the word "husband") saw me do this and never once questioned me.
I think he's used to my antics now.

Somehow, someway, I always cut my shirts wrong and they look crazy. Maybe my shoulders are too narrow or something. Or maybe I should send them to you lol
Love this! You should have been showing me how to cut off necks of tops when you were in Dallas! (You know I'm visual, I gotta see it.)
