CREATIVE
upstyling!
Y
es, jeans can always become
cutoffs. However, if that's not
your look, they can become
trend setting cropped pants
with a rough edge. Or if they are the
right cut, denim bike shorts are a style
stopper right now. Pair either with an
upcycled men's dress shirt tied at the
waist for a polished look finished with
some gold jewelry and mules or an old
school concert T-shirt with a wrist full
of beads, wedge sneakers and your
fave sunnies for a cool vibe.
It's not your '90s stone wash; it's a
vogue bleach wash. Old flannel shirts
become revived shackets when tie-
dyed with bleach. When finished,
throw over a tank top and crinkle skirt
and you'll be fashionably warm on
breezy summer evenings.
Got old T-shirts? Then you've got
super absorbent yet gentle, frizz free
turbans. Wrap up your hair after wash-
ing. Just try it; we know you'll like it.
Why buy fancy new headbands
when old sweats will do the trick. Sim-
ply cut old sweatshirts into strips
and braid. Wrap around
your head and tie
or use an elastic
band at the
nape of your
neck.

grandma's
jewelry
box for
brooches,
and hang them on
varied length chains.
They take on new
life especially when
worn in a trio and
mixed with differ-
ent metals. n
