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.

And since I'm a reseller of second hand items, I look to the Salvation Army's, Goodwill's and local Mom and Pop thrift stores for inventory.

I realized how much stuff I had stored away, for "what? I also had some (dead piles). For those of you that are not familiar with the term. Dead piles is a term used by resellers of purchased items set aside for whatever reason maybe for cleaning or repairs and never listed on their selling platforms. I also was able to catch up on some crafty DIY...

When in Doubt Thrift

If you're a fashion girl like me, there are times when it seems the inspiration for planning what to wear from your wardrobe is like a job you know you have to go to but really don't love. So you just grab the same outfits out of the closet and leave feeling unfulfilled. Whenever I get into that slump I turn to several differ means of inspiration. Be it YouTube, Pinterest, Fashion magazines or Designer shows. Watching them always tend to stir up the fashionista within, having me pulling out piles of clothing from my closet, and putting together outfits, I can't wait to wear. Now you may ask, "How can I replicate the clothes media and fashion icons are wearing without a lot of money"? Relax you may not be able to have the same pieces they're wearing but you most certainly can replicate their looks using your own personal appeal. I have taken this approach for years. I have champagne taste on a wine budget but dressing fashionably will never be c...
