So half term is over (sad face) which means back to college. Usually if I have had time of college I return with lots of new clothes and spend far too much money. However I don't have a job right now and need to run my car so need to ease up on my shopping for a while.
I know that right now it is hard to get a job for a lot of young people wanting part time work so I am going to tell you how to make outfits out of things you already have or spending as little money as possible.
My first thing is collar tips. My accessory staple. Regal rose have some gorgeous ones here however they are rather expensive I have bought a few pairs off eBay for less than £2 that are so nice! Just type collar tips into the search bit if you want the same as me go here and here. They make your shirts look completely different and can for example turn a girly floral shirt into an edgy vintage piece.
My second outfit mash up is dresses. Don't think that now it's autumn/winter your dresses have to wait until next summer to come out. I wear dresses all year! There are so many ways to change up dresses such as
Tights & leggings patterned tights and leggings can bring an outfit to life and don't think you can't wear patterns together because you can. Everyone should have their own style and just mix it up a bit. Also wooly tights are a winter must have!
My favourite places to get tights are
But I'm sure you already have tights so you don't have to spend money.
Another way to change up your dresses is layering. I have spoken about this in a previous post. Jumpers on top of dresses can make a whole new look as they look like skirts and just give a different look. You could also wear a long sleeved top underneath a dress to give it a more winter/ autumnal look.
My third money saving outfit is swapping/borrowing. I am constantly 'borrowing' my grandad and nan's knit wear. It's vintage stuff for free! Just ask your grandparents, aunts and parents if they have any clothing that they don't want anymore or that you can borrow.
Swapping is brilliant I know a lot of youtubers do swaps where they have a budget and buy clothes for each other and send them. This is a great idea, if you have money.
A free way to swap would be to sort out your wardrobe and get your friends to as we'll because there is no way you need to keep everything in there. I am awful at getting rid of clothes even if is too small I just say I'll slim into it but you just need to think practically. Ask yourself "am I going to where this?" "Where?" And "when?" And " with what" If you can't answer one of thee questions get rid. If you get all your friends to do this as well you can then swap your unwanted clothing with theirs so you have new outfits.
Finally Accssesories are your friends! Just add jewellery, hats, belts and jackets to outfits to give them a new look.
Good places for accsesories are;
Vintage Shops
There are so many more ways to re vamp your wardrobe, yet I don't want to write a short book on here as this has turned out to be a rather long post! If you have any questions either comment tweet or email me
Love
