REUSE! :)


JEANS




Tired of old jeans? Use these methods to transform & reuse them!!

1. Cut your jeans and make them into a denim skirt or shorts. For jean cut-offs, I recommend cutting them a little longer at first to make sure you don’t make your shorts too short. I also think it’s cute to leave the hem of the short a little longer and to roll up the bottoms a little for a complete look.





2. If you want to keep them as jeans, visit a craft store, see what kind of clothing paints, jewels, studs, and accents you can use to spruce up your old jeans. Use a razor & a coarse rock to rub some texture into the jeans. Rip a few holes into them, or cut a few holes into them & have fun!

3. Cut out the back pockets and use them as a phone case, ipod case, or even just a compact case.


MEN'S CLOTHING



Boyfriend blazers!


Take a look in your Boyfriend's or Flavor of the month's closet! Look for these key things!

1. His T-shirts! They are the most comfortable things known to man! Plus they give you that comfy, casual, thrown together kind of look. You can dress it up with a blazer and some boots or you can dress it down with a scarf and jeans. Play around add in chunky accessories for night or wear cut off jean shorts with them for daytime outings. Maybe even pick up one of his cardigans and use the same accessories to dress it up or bring it back down to comfy and casual.




2. His watch! I love big chunky watches as long as it's my sole accessory. I love the way they look so masculine on a feminine wrist. Trust me it's definitely a new look and is actually an upcoming trend!


PLAIN T'S


Different spins on a plain T-shirt!!
1. Wear them loose & leave the option for dressing it up or dressing it down depending on your activities. Look for cool small details maybe a small front pocket, a deep V neckline, a U neckline, colored stitching. Play around with them!
2. A cropped T, try a looser cropped t-shirt with some colorful shorts or some jeans. Crop tops used to be a hugeeeee trend and lately it's made it's way back as they all do eventually.
3. Cut outs, try cutting off the sleeves to a t-shirt, or cutting in shapes into a tank top or cutting slits into a loose shirt so you can wear a tank or Cami underneath it!
4. Acid washed, try adding random spatter of bleach to a few tanks, look into clothing paint and go crazy on a tank or T. Use your creative side and see what damage you can do :)
