Quick, give me three ways you can wear an old t-shirt. Ha, too late!

 I knew you couldn’t come up with one let alone three, so here’s a thought: Check out a FLY bag made by SMARTALECKY by Tara Campbell New York.

I met Tara last week hustling her wares in NYC’s Union Square and I was so impressed. An array of colorful totes of various sizes adorned Tara’s inviting stand, where she warmly welcomed me and explained how she made her original bags.This stylish, resourceful lady uses t-shirts (plain or with logos) in order to make custom, one of a kind bags in a variety of sizes. So if you’re looking for a way to recycle those old 80s concert tees or baby tees you can no longer fit over your muffin top (you know who you are:-)), Smartalecky is always a dope option. But instead of giving away all her trade secrets, check her out at www.smartalecky.wordpress.com

I copped a fly grey “I Love NY” slouchy tote, perfect for casual days. Bonus: The soft tote is also reversible with a cute floral, cheetah print on the inside. Support SmartAlecky and shout out to Tara for the inspiration and kind words!
