My kids My all My life: August 2011

So Ive been going to the gym now for about a month and I cant stand working out with any kind of sleeves. So I took some of my old shirts and cut them up for comfort and to put a stamp on my gym style.

top: h&m

I use the sleeves of this top as a guide.

Before

I found this shirt at my moms house and fell in love with the color.

After

This last one was really huge so I did it a little different. I cut the collar all the way across and then I cut a long string from the sleeves to tie up the top of the sleeves so it gives it a long scoop neck in the front and in the back.

I cut the sleeves, the collars really low, and the bottom so it fits loose and comfortable. I'm definitely not wearing them like this I don't have the abs for them yet, but I like to double layer for the gym. Enjoy!

I have yet to experience this magical moment of seeing your first born off to school but for those who are experiencing this for the first time or its a reoccurring experience here is some information I've gathered to make this time a little less hectic than usual.
