ruffled

shirt: thrifted (restyled)
pants: hand me down
tank: Downeast
ring: Forever 21
shoes: Shoe Carnival
earrings: Forever 21

i don't think this top could get any more cropped, what do you think?  i picked this top up at the thrift store for $3.00! ooh yeah!  i thought it was cute to start out with, but it wasn't really me so i chopped off the sleeves, cropped it and put some ruffles on it.  now it has Madison written all over it!  i though of a ruffled cropped button up while i was trying to sleep the other night.  this is when i usually think of these kinds of things.  its kind of annoying actually because when i go to sleep all i do is think.  i think of what im going to be doing the next day, i think of what im going to wear and what im going to make.  it takes me forever to fall asleep!  but it results in genius ideas, like this one!

p.s.  i got new shoes!  aren't they the best?
