Thrifting is still a thing, y’all. One of my thrifting rules is to step outside of your comfort zone by searching different departments for patterned fabrics and playing with the patterns to create an outfit of your own. In my pattern search I have come across some crazy wicked shirts, but there was always a problem. All of the shirts were not my size! This plaid refashioned shirt is one of them, so I’ve got just the remedy for that.
Plaid is perfect for fall and winter. This oversized shirt-turned-top (you’ll see how large it is on me in the video below) is a 2x men’s shirt that I found for $7 at Goodwill in Galveston, TX. Shoes: thrifted $10 // Pants: TJ Maxx $16 // Fur scarf: JC Penny’s $25
It’s like thrift store magic! *insert unicorns and rainbows* Plaid is so perfect for fall.
Here’s more summer-friendly version where the shirt can be worn as a dress.
Check out the video below to see how you can chang an oversized shirt into a fitted halter top or dress.
Let’s make old stuff new. See it with new eyes, give it a new life. Grab an oversized shirt for yourself and show me how you style it! Follow along with the hashtag #oldworldnewStyle on social media to see more Old World New Girl outfit styling!
Until next time, darlings!

Love the purse! And the way you styled that oversized shirt is amazing! I would have never thought to do that.
Thank you, Alli! =)
I love plaid for fall/winter! Your “new” shirt looks awesome!
Thank you!! =)
Must try this. I’ve never thought about wearing a shirt dress like this before. Thanks for sharing.
Try it and share it with #oldworldnewStyle, Elizabeth! =)
I don’t know if I could pull this look off, but you got it girl! Me and fur do not mix haha!
I have rejected fur for the longest lol! This is a new phase for me. Thank you, Jennifer! =)
You pulled it off great! I haven’t been thrifting yet but it is on my to-do list!
Oh, you must go! Especially for oversized sweaters! And thank you =)
This is too cute!! I always love your style! 🙂

I love refashioning pieces and thrift is one of my favorite places to get items for a DIY. You go girl!
Thrifting will leave you with good DIY projects for the whole house! Thank you =)
Who would have ever thought of something like this. That is so creative. Maybe when I drop a few pounds I can upcycle my husbands button up shirts he no longer wears! I love it.
That would be so cute! Thank you =)
Impressive and so creative!
