Recycling is the new Black! You’re probably sick to the teeth hearing it but times are getting harder and for many people the cutbacks, downsizing, whatever you want to call it sadly now applies to your wardrobe. It’s time to think creatively and reinvent the clothes you already own. Every single time you go through your own clothes you will find something you’ve completely forgotten you bought or discover something that will go perfectly with a new purchase.

Some Tips:
1. Get dyeing– this is the cheapest way possible to create a whole new look.

2. Dye shoes. Don’t cast shoes aside because they are the wrong colour. If you love the style buy and dye. Hey presto, in 30 seconds approximately you will have the pair you want.

3. Get handy with a sewing needle. Well, at least learn how to change buttons, add trimmings and alter the hemline.

4. On Trend: Tie a bow on a pair of old shoes and create an up-to-the-minute style. Buy some organza and stitch it or wonder web it to the end of a skirt, add ruffles to shirts, the possibilities are endless. The main thing is do it!
