How To Recreate Your Wardrobe

How To Recreate Your Wardrobe

Hey guys, it's Hanna!

Want to turn heads? Want people to double-take when you walk into the room? Recreating your wardrobe can be a lot of fun. It challenges your creative side and refreshes your outlook, and you can do it without having to break the bank.

✫ Envision a new wardrobe. Look online, through fashion magazines and observe others for certain aspects. Include layered looks and accessories as well.

✫ Understand yourself. Know what colors and styles accentuate your eyes, hair, skin tone and physique. Are you comfortable in skirts or pants?

✫ Understand your lifestyle. Are you working or at home most of the time? What will be easiest to maintain? Could you save money by layering summer clothes throughout the winter?

✫ Sort your clothes. Retain your favorite fabrics and styles. Make new clothes from discarded garments. Simple patterns are readily available. Make fabric accessories, such as a hair tie, braided belt, hat, scarf or mittens. Embellish with lace, fabric ruffles, embroidery and beads.

✫ Make a list. List all possible combinations of your present and future wardrobe. Mix and match one garment with several outfits. Wearing more than one pattern is acceptable. Keep your list handy.

✫ Go shopping. Complete your new ideas. Try two or three garments at a time.

And that's it. Hope it helps.

xoxo
