How Do You Use Your Imagination With Accessory Pieces?

I'm always curious when I go thrifting, how to use a piece I purchase and turn it into a not just one way to wear item. If I purchase a blouse how many ways can it be worn other than the basic way? On or off the shoulder, worn in the front or in the back. When purchasing a scarf I can wear it around my neck, maybe on my head perhaps even as a top. I'll spot a vintage chunky belt, it would be cool to wear as a necklace. The other day I found this sequined skirt that was longer than I would normally wear. Thought about cutting it but it would take away from its unique hem and design. Fortunately the waist was elasticized so I was able to pull it up toward my chest and wear it as a dress. Turned out AWESOME. So I challenge you the next time you are ready to spend your coins wherever you shop, think of way to stretch those dollars. Not only that by using your imagination you'll; find yourself wearing pieces in a way that will add dimension to your wardrobe.

Another fact is purchasing clothing from a thrift, vintage or any second hand store is environmentally friendly and also helps with sustainability. Tons of clothing and materials are recycled which eliminates waste that is polluting landfills. We live in such a throwaway society. If ...

It's not the Labels, Its who you are

Fashion is not what the labels say, it's who you are. I discovered my love of Fashion early in life. As a little girl I always loved dressing up. When my parents would leave the house, I would always go in my mom’s closet and pull out her black patent leather, and suede stilettos, slip on her fancy cocktail dresses, pile on her jewelry and wrap myself in her faux furs. I wou...
