(1) I absolutely love this square-necked knit shirt I have, but it's too short and perhaps a bit tight across the chest.
(2) I have something of a dearth of short-sleeved shirts and an abundance of sleeveless shirts for the Snow City climate.
So I made the knit shirt into a "jacket" that can be worn over sleeveless shirts.
This was one of the easiest refashions I've done (lately). I just cut the shirt down the center, added two contrasting stripes to broaden the width of the shirt and provide some overlap at the neck line, and voila!

Wearing two layers like this in Texas or NC spring/summer might be too warm, but I think it will work very well in Snow City (where it is currently 3:30 p.m., partly cloudy skies, and 64 degrees). I have an identical knit shirt that is olive green that I think I will give the same treatment (though with a different color of stripes - white perhaps).
(Why the hell does my left arm - on the right side of the photo - look creased? Bizarre.)

Was there a mirror on your left side (off the right side of the photo) perhaps reflecting some light onto your arm there?
Actually, there was a mirror - good call. :)
