On a budget? Need some tips on how to work with last year's wardrobe ad make it seem fresh and new. Here are 5 Tweaks to Spruce up your Spring Wardrobe.
1. Zap your sweaters
If last year’s spring sweaters look worn and bally, all need to do is zap. It’s like when your husband has two days growth and then shaves-that’s how dramatic difference can be!
.
2. Layer and Belt It
Take last year’s dress. Put a thin sweater over top and then belt it with a thin belt and it will look like a totally new outfit.
.
3. Play with scarves
Put 2 pretty solids together like a red scraf and blue scraf and tie them together to create a totally new look by adding a colorful print scarf. Or, tie a cute silk scarf on plain leather purse and make it look bright and breezy.
4. Pile on the chains
Take a crisp white blouse, a pair of dark jeans, some sexy heels and then pile on the jewelry. Dig up 3-5 chains from your jewelry box-- be they pearls, gold, or bright costume jewelry baubles –and then combine them by layering one over top of the other. You’ll have a fun colorful modern new look – a stylish new focal point for spring dressing!
5. Work it-Photograph your wardrobe
Always worn that cute peach tank top with the little brown jacket. Try going out of the box and pairing it with something totally different in style or color. Lay outfits out on your bed and snap photos to help you see new combinations that will work perfectly but you just never thought of them before. Ask a friend to come in and create some combinations to see if they have a new approach you can take.
Sometimes all it takes is a fresh look at an old wardrobe to look fabulous again.
