“Girrrrl, you get around.” Has anyone said that to you before? Today was a first for me. I was at the DMV getting my Minnesota license, and after the reviewer checked my information, he looked at me with a twinkle in his eye and said those somewhat creepy words. More amused than angry, I wanted to know why I gave him that impression, and so I asked him what he meant. His response? “Girl, you’ve lived in 5 states in 10 years — I’ve never seen that before – like I said, ya getta around.”
When he took my picture, I was wearing my brand new ‘wifey’ tee, and he commented that I was “all around original with that t-shirt and all my travels.” I left the DMV thinking about original t-shirts and, before you know it, I drove myself straight to the fabric store to make something uniquely me.
What to do with the gorgeous greens and flaming reds and fancy florals? A t-shirt that changes what you love based on where you stand:
Jon and I are going to Phoenix this Friday (just 2 days!) and I’m planning to get all kinds of use outta this top when I see my baby sister and my best friends. Quick and easy way to show everyone the people and things I love, right?
That’s a sweet T! In highschool I think most of my Tshirts were painted, I just couldn’t stand leaving them plain or buying one ready printed. It was so much fun 🙂
Great idea 😉 I bet you are going to be dancing your way into several spots over the weekend to get the best use out of this shirt! I spent four months in Phoenix on a temporary work assignment several years ago. It should be a great time to visit, and I am sure some of your Minnesota charm will be much appreciated in the southwest. Have fun!
Hope you have a great trip!!
So cute! Phoenix in two days?! I’m way jealous. Bring back some sunny weather, girl. And take a whole lot of fun pictures and make a whole lot of rockin’ memories! 🙂
Haha girl you DO get around! 😜 but me too so that’s ok. I am so impressed with your new shirt!!!
I love the wifey T, but this IS SO CUTE!! I love your craftiness omgaah!
i love how it turned out…the colors and patterns (and sentiment) are great!
That is such a cute T shirt! Though I’d be careful who you stand next to while wearing it 😉
That is so cute!! I love customized clothes–that’s the whole reason I bought a sewing machine, anyway. I don’t tend to wear a lot of t-shirts but Angel does so I’ve given him some custom shirts I’d designed over the years. My sister used to work at a t-shirt printing shop and I could get them printed for free, so that made it even easier!
How cute! I love this idea! I’ve painted t-shirts before, but I haven’t attached fabric. Cute, cute, cute.

That’s super cute! I’m impressed you made that. Buuuut…. you just have to be careful what you stand next to 😉
What a fun shirt! Hope you have a good trip! Bring some warm weather back with you 🙂
That t-shirt is perfect!
Cute shirt! Living in Memphis for the last 5 years has been the longest I’ve lived anywhere since I was a little girl. I love to travel, but I also love having a home base to come back to. 🙂
How cute are you? I love this tee- and even better that you made it yourself!
