We all need some credit crunch busting fashion tips in the current climate, so lets take a look at what you can do to keep the spending down and make those precious pennies go further.
Its always nice to buy new things, and believe me, this isn’t something i have stopped doing, but i have been looking into re-working what i already have, such as skirts and tops. Take, for example, a plain denim mini skirt (denim is still hot this season) then head down to your local haberdashery and pick up some quirky large buttons and lace trims. If you’re a decent seamstress, you can add the lace to the bottom of your denim skirt yourself, or ask a very kind friend to have a go if you’re not sure. Then sew a couple of rainbow coloured, funky buttons on the front of the skirt to give it some edge. The retro look is back in a big way, and you can get that look instantly with re-working your current wardrobe. Think “vintage chic” meets “unique”. Its all about being original, and even during the credit crunch, you don’t have to spend a fortune getting a super on-trend look for every season.
Your local haberdashery will have loads of funky bits that you can experiment with and add on to your clothes, so give it a go and see what there is!
