00:00There comes a time in every woman's life where you have to magically conjure up a pair of bottoms.
00:05Whether you had an adventure the night before, or you're at a beach, or whatever,
00:09sometimes you just need to turn a top into a skirt, and this is where I show you how to
00:13do it.
00:18First, step into a button-down shirt that fits around your waist, and button all the way down.
00:22Then, you want to take the arms, grip the armpits, hike up a little bit,
00:27and then fold it around to carefully make a double knot.
00:32Then tuck everything in place so you don't see any holes or weird bunches or anything.
00:37And there you have it.
00:39Frankly, I think that the styling trick is cute enough to wear even if you're not in an emergency,
00:43but in a pinch, now you know how to turn a button-down shirt into a skirt.
00:47Use responsibly.
