I bought a really cheap graphic tee at Old Navy.  It was extremely boxy and shapeless, but I knew I had pinned a bunch of ideas for cutting up tees.  So I went to my Pinterest Board- Fashion and found a few ideas.  I decided on one that is cut up a`la 80’s rocker style.  The LA summer print on the tee turns into strips of colors along the front.  I know summer is over, but fall is the layering season so this can easily be layered over top of a long sleeve tee or paired with a tank and a jean jacket.
