My husband has always been a bit of a shopper. Until Harold’s closed last year, one of his favorite spots to shop was the clearance rack there. Always had a few XL gems for a good price.
And then he went through a little Nordstrom shirt-shopping phase too. A Von Maur opened near us, good shirts there as well. And good sales.
So, my husband’s shirt wardrobe rotates fairly regularly. In fact, he wanted to get rid of quite a few old button-downs last year. So many nice shirts that I couldn’t bear to just give them away (especially knowing what they had originally cost), so I sold about a dozen shirts on Ebay. That was a pain in the butt.
But take a look at this option for recycling Daddy’s old shirts. Lillipops Designs (a.k.a. Jayme Lillie, a clearly fabulous mom) will take a man’s old button-down, add some fun, patterned cotton and produce an absolutely darling dress for your little girl. Jayme will recycle a shirt chosen for you or she’ll use one that you send to her.
There are several different styles currently featured at the Lillipops Etsy shop, including some very cute flower girl dresses. I especially love this one:
$48, Lillipop Designs, custom-made sizes 6 mo. to 6x
