Up-cycle your clothes

How to wear pieces you already own 

Check the following looks and get inspired.

1. Try belting your top half over and half under for a street style–inspired look that’s still approachable.

2. Breathe new life into your button-down shirt by wrapping and tucking it instead of buttoning.

3. Fully zip your ladylike jacket (or cardigan) and wear it as a top.

4. Layer your old “tube top” over a button-down shirt (or T-shirt), and tuck it into your pants.

5. Make your shoulder bag stand out by wearing it as a cross-body.

6. Ditch the slip and wear a sheer skirt with a long button-down shirt instead.

7. Wear your V-neck top or tunic off the shoulder.

8. Get more mileage out of your old silk scarf by using it as a belt.

9. Rather than holding your bag the traditional way, loop one strap through the other to give it a fresh look.
