One: Take a solid color top and apply different color buttons to the neckline or to the sleeves (Remember: Tie Dye is always fun for a new look!).
Two: Create that tired old canvas handbag into a fun fashion forward item everyone will talk about. Add charms, patches, even quotes for a different feel!
Three: Take a pair of old jeans and stitch material to the back pockets or even use a funky patch to jazz it up with prints.
Four: Take an old scarf belt and rejuvenate it into a head scarf (They look great with a pair of big sunglasses and fun hoop earrings!).
Five: Wrap up your summer season flip flops you hardly used and add a button to the front or a flower if you’re daring enough so they look totally different when next summer fly’s around. It’s like a new pair of shoes!
Get creative, live on a budget, and make your own! Good luck!
