changing the apperience of clothes.

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!!

personalisation

Personalising your clothes is a great way to stand out and update your wardrobe. All you need is a great haberdashery and some creative thinking. 
For example - Last week I bought a pair of leather nude brogues, to be honest I wanted the marc jacobs gold ones but why spend all that money when you can create your own version and be original!
By simply buying some gold spray paint from a DIY shop, Ive created a stunning unique shoe.
It was quick, easy and cheap to do with a fantastic result. 
Another example is changing buttons on coats, I bought a cream faux fur coat from a vintage shop and added some large gold buttons- they cost me £6 and instantly made the coat look more expensive. 
 Also adding studs and rhinestones to items of clothing or shoes is a great way of changing the look with very little expense. 
            

Bored of your clothes?? Bring out your creative side.... see what you can create!! 

winter coats

I used to have a real issue with winter coats, I felt like no matter what you were wearing underneath as soon as you put your coat on - you looked the same as you did the day before and very quickly I became bored of my coat and wanted a new one.... I soon realized by simply adding a patterned scarf or chunky waist belt over the top you can quickly change the appearance of your coat.

Investing in different scarfs is alot cheaper than a new coat every couple of months.. also if you buy a distinctive coat from somewhere like topshop by adding accessories to it you can make your coat look different - We all hate that moment where you pass someone in the street wearing the same thing as you !!

A Simple Poka dot dress.
This is a dress I bought last
year for a party, I wore it with red 
shoes and bright red lips.
 Its very distinctive so
 I wanted to update it so I could 
wear it this season.








By Adding a sparkly nude jacket, belt 
and nude heels it immediately revamps
the whole dress. All you need now is bouncy
loose curls and a dark rouge lip.
