| How do you make an old basic look new again? |
| Season 3 Project Runway contestant, Angela Keslar gave us some tips on updating your oldies but goodies. ________________________________________________________ |
| Denim Do-over |
| Don't be so quick to toss your old jeans! Angela shows you how to get crafty to create new looks. |
 |
Sew pretty glass buttons on the belt loops of an old pair of jeans for a whole new look. For beautiful, unique pieces, try M&J Trimming. |
 |
 |
Sew patches on the legs or back pockets of an old pair. Try a rhinestone letter patch that is a cheap way to add some glam to your wardrobe. All you'll need is a hot iron for a cool new look. |
 |
Channel your 8th grade self and draw on old denim with a medium point black sharpie. Take inspiration from the runway at Marc Jacobs, or add some individuality by trying your favorite notebook doodles. |
 |
Pair trendy accesories with an old pair of wripped jeans. Try ankle strap sandals like these from Boutique 9 available at Macy's. |
 |
For something drastic, dye your jeans a bright color like fuschia. This can be a fun family project, though prepare for a bit of a mess. Try using rit dye available at Michaels, The Arts & Crafts Store. |
| ________________________________________________________ Leggings Last and Last... |
| A pair of black leggings can quickly become BORING. Not only can you spice them up, but with the help of a sharp scissor you can create a whole new punk look! |
 |
Add black rosettes around the ankles of an old pair of leggings. Try M&J Trimming. |
 |
Cut the legs off leggings for arm gloves on a cool day. |
 |
Cut the legs off and wear the waist as a tube top. All you need is a pair of sharp scissors. Leave the edge jagged for a total rock star look. |
| ________________________________________________________ Skirt Stand By |
| There's nothing more rewarding than a two for one deal! Angela suggests wearing your favorite skirt as a dress. Here's another idea! |
 |
If you wear your skirt as a dress trying playing with a belt for different styles. Wear at your natural waistline or at an empire waistline. |
