Sometimes with items of clothing - especially a distinctive patterned item, we can quickly get bored of them after wearing them a few times! You seem the item in your cubboard and you feel uninspired by it.

For example I have a dress I bought from topshop last year- At the time I loved it but more recently I was reluctant to wear it, so I pulled it out the wardrobe and just experimented with it- tried it on backwards, added belts, added necklaces until I created an up to date outfit for this season.
Another way of updating an item of clothing is layering- which is a huge trend right now! Take a basic dress then add a crop t-shirt on top ( ie.. a great top this season over the top of dresses is a cream crochet knit) then add a cardigan and a jacket.

Statement jackets - like the nude blazer or leather biker are huge right now and instantly update any dress, top you've fallen out of love with.
I often wear tops backwards makes me feel creative and can give you different looks.
Try it for yourself... its easy,fun and creative and costs nothing to do!!
