Who doesn’t want to get noticed? Right? And which one of us would want to buy new clothes when you already have so much lying around! The key here is Mix-Match! Throw in simple classic outfits and turn them retro and fun in an instance. Not every one was born with the sense of fashion…But trust me, if I am around you can never go wrong! So you go gurl!

1. I know, its summer…so I am thinking telling you to layer will be a bad option…but you really can’t expect me not to mention such an integral part of recreating a look! Don’t worry I have got a solution. Remember that racer back top you haven’t worn in ages just cause it shows little too much of your belly? Well, just wear a plain sleeveless tank top over it, which is long enough or even better wear a solid colored fitted tee with half sleeves under it…to give you that edge over others!

2. Got belts, don’t you? Wear those slightly wide ones around your hips..over long tunic tops. You can also wear those thin ones just below your bust, real tight (i.e. actually your waist region).This helps in giving your body shape and making you look curvier.

3. Tie ribbons left by gift-wraps on the side loops of your denims..team it up with bows (again got by those gift wrapping papers) in your hair by using a bob pin. This makes you look girlie and cute..still smart yet fashionable.

4. Got those canvas shoes? You know those white, black or blue-white sport shoes. Something that you wore when you were in school? Replace boring laces with bright fluorescent colored laces from your “better” shoes! If you have a creative side, you can paint them with fabric paints or waterproof sketch pens; to give it your own touch.

5. One word, Leggings! It’s about time you have at least one black one in your wardrobe! Wear ultra mini skirts over them with short cropped tops. Good option for college if your college has problems with too much skin show. You could even wear hot shorts or knee-length knickers over them..if you really are a wild child, that is! Leggings are great…light and comfortable so you don’t even feel hot and just incase you aren’t waxed and are in a mood to wear a skirt…then unwaxed legs wouldn’t stop you from wearing what you feel like!

6. Scarves…according to me are about to come back again. So make use of the one’s your Mum has! If you’re a scooty chic, you could always wrap your face with the help of a scarf, to protect it from the U.V.! Can also be used as a hairband, and just incase you happen to forget to carry a rubber band use it to tie your tresses with help of a gentle yet firm pull back knot!

7. Go crazy by rolling denims to capri length and team up with bright knee-length socks! Or even better wear a short skirt with knee-length socks and bright stilettos. Sounds interesting, eh? Worth a try..trust moi!

8. Got old denims? Cut them half! No, I am not kidding! Go to your tailor let him take your measurements. Leave a little denim about 2 to 3 inch below the knees and ask him to fold them inside-out and stitch them or you could use safety pins from home to make your new look even more stylish! I advice dark colored denims, cause the silver-ness in the safety pins are more prominent that way!

9. Did you wear a tie to school? Still have that in your closet somewhere? Remember how it was a pain to wear it every morning and reach school on time…and remember how you hated to wear it because it looked so ugly? Well, not any more! Find them…and wear it really loose over a classic half sleeved white shirt with a contrast colored singlet within, with first two buttons open!…Yes, Yes…I know…You never thought something that seemed to be so ugly can actually manage to make you look so hot now? :D

10. Got a jacket, t-shirt, tops, or anything that you have grown out of? Which is shorter than it should be? Has got stretched a little too much by the washing machine? Or just shows off a little too much of cleavage? Just wear a thin plain tunic within it….which will end up looking stunning!

I hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope I helped you save some pocket money!
If you guys, have your closet fix-ups or new ideas that I haven’t listed above, be free to share it with all of us!
But remember everyone,
A confident posture and a broad smile contributes almost 50% to your look!
So keep Smiling!
