We all have that one pair of beat up jeans we love too much to give away. If yours have a acquired a hole (or two, or three..), use them to your fashion advantage! How, you ask? Option 1: Throw on a pair of patterned, lacey, fishnet, or good ol' plain tights under your jeans got instant color and texture to make your outfit pop (the extra warmth isn't so bad, either!). Option 2: Embrace the patchwork look! Chose a cool or funky swatch of fabric, then attach it to the inside of your jeans with fabric glue or a few stitches to cover that hole in style! Voila- two unique fixes with instant charm.

Avoid any erm, barn door problems with this simple style hack. Whether you've got a faulty zipper or a favorite pair of jeans that's just a little too tight, a runaway fly is never fun. Simply hook a key ring onto the loop of your jeans' zipper, then loop it around the button for a quick and discreet fix (the ring stays concealed under the denim). You're welcome! In a winter style rut? Okay, so it's not even close to beach weather, as this photo suggests, but that doesn't mean we can't embolden our winter styles as we prepare (or rather, pray?) for spring! What unlikely clothing combinations do you have in your closet? We've talked about mixing patterns, but what about styles? Get creative and instantly refresh your look with the clothes you already own. Throw an edgy leather jacket over a frilly, girly blouse for a cute outfit to light up any chilly winter day. Pair combat boots or converse with a flirty dress and thick tights to melt the snow and beckon in springtime. Try a fitted work-ready blazer with gauchos for a sleek yet funky feel. Test your style. See what works. Plus, who doesn't love an excuse for dress up? ;) |
