From a long nightshirt to a cute crop top
A pair of sharp scissors is all you need. Crop tops are essential in this season; they’re so easy to pull off that simply a pair of high-waisted shorts would do the job in completing the look. Find a long shirt that you no longer want and cut it to whatever length you desire. VoilĂ !
From a monotonous bag to a hobo-chic tote
Hunt through thrift stores or your grandma’s accessories drawer to snag a silk scarf or handkerchief in vibrant colors. Then use it to dress up one a simple, solid-colored, can’t-remember-the-last-time-I-wore-that purse or tote.
From a dollar necklace to a one-of-a-kind choker
Spice up an everyday necklace chain or choker with a fun antique brooch to go from trend to trend-setter!
