Graphic tee's, band shirts, plain tees or any other basic tee can be made into a crop top by simply using scissors and cutting off the sleeves or not, and cropping the bottom length to your preference.
These tees can be purchased at stores like Wal Mart, Target, Kohls, or Hot Topic. They make great pieces for a fun outfit and can be used to add a little more funk in your outfit.
The band tee along with the checkered skirt are great basic pieces to own. You won't need to store these garments away since they can be worn in all seasons.
During the colder seasons, I would pair this outfit with some over-the-knee boots and a leather jacket. You will not be disappointed with this $10 purchase. Cut, adjust and add this DIY tee into your wardrobe!
