Snipped Sleeves

Most upscale waitressing gigs require button-down shirts. This blows almost as hard as working on the opposite schedule of everyone I know.

At my last job, I accumulated nine or so white button-downs but noooo, I can’t wear them at my current one because we have to wear gray or black ones. When I haven’t worn something in a while, I don’t immediately chuck, donate or sell it. I hit it with some fabric scissors first.

Henceforth, what was once a white BDS (H&M, like $20) is now a cute short-sleeved blouse, to be worn alone or over long-sleeved knits when it gets nippy out.
Also a nice preppy balance to my funky 80%20 boots and thrifty Picadilly jeans.
