…in your own closet! Sometimes a girl wants a new look, but her budget doesn’t call for a shopping spree. Old pieces can feel fresh if you give them a creative recombination.

I took a jeans jacket that I’ve owned for a decade…okay, not quite, but it feels that way…and paired it with one of my prime going-out-dancing pinched tops.

Then I pulled out a necklace and bracelet that had finished off a fancy formal dress. Good memories. My date to that one was A+!!

I mixed in a skirt from the depths of my closet that once went with an adorable top… I’d trotted it out so many times that it had turned to tatters.

After a trip to an arts and crafts store, I spiced up the skirt by gluing on blue crystals. Now I have a new outfit that I love without bending my bank account!
