If you’re getting bored with your clothing, you don’t necessarily have to go out and buy new clothing. Just upgrade the stuff you’ve already got! Take some tips from your fellow Tip Heroes and also check out these 8 ideas from Wise Bread:

1. Cut It Out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take an old or cheap maxi skirt and cut it up to make a high fashion runway-inspired ruffled skirt.

2. Reconstruct an Old T-Shirt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead of donating an oversized old t-shirt, cut it up and create a chic crop-top dress with cutouts. Perfect for a night out!

3. Decorate with Clip-Ons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transform plain shoes with a simple switch of clip-ons. Or try one of these 11 frugal shoe makeovers.

4. Repurpose a Scarf

5. Tank Formation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easily turn a plain tank top into a sweet, feminine one-shouldered top.

6. Add a Rope Belt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use a rope or a scarf as a belt to add an accent to any loose-fitting top or dress. As a bonus, it will accentuate your waistline.

7. Mix Up Prints

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and create a bold outfit by combining two opposing patterns or mixing floral prints with stripes.

8. Make a Statement in Printed Hose

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Give a boost to a plain outfit by throwing on some printed pantyhose.
