In need of a fashion makeover? This doesn't always mean buying new clothes. Why not try reworking some of your tried and true favorites as a fun DIY project, or bring old items to your local tailor for a spruced up transformation? Hem an old tee or tank into an easy-breezy crop top for the steamy summer months, revamp old, baggy T-shirts into snazzy blouses, cut old pants into shorts, make long blazers into cropped jackets for a summertime soiree, or convert floor-length skirts or dresses into adorable minis. The possibilities are endless, so let's get creative, fashionistas!

Are you ever searching to find the right colors that work for you? Here’s a simple rule to follow: Cooler skin tones radiate when paired with white, black, gray, silver and blue. What is a cooler skin tone, you ask? A cooler skin tone is one that has pink, red or blemish undertones whereas a warm skin tone consists of yellow, peachy or gold undertones. Freckles?... think warm colored clothing like browns, greens and reds to make you truly glow. You’ll notice that when you wear the right shades of clothing, your hair and eyes are complimented as well. You’ll feel great and look even better! The summer season means tons of cute new trends and styles in the marketplace. Before you start shopping to spruce up your spring/summer wardrobe, give yourself a weekend to clean out your closet. Follow this golden rule: if you haven't worn an item in the past year, consider getting rid of it — that could mean giving clothes to friends and family members, donating to a local charity, or even selling your better quality items. You'll have more space and more money for new sundresses, plus jewelry and summer sandals to go with your fresh finds. Let's Purge the Closet! |
