Re-style the clothes you no longer wear into something you will

Re-style the clothes you no longer wear into something you will Now, I think we all have clothes in our wardrobes that we do not wear but cannot bear to part with. Perhaps we paid a lot for them and therefore feel guilty to let them go. They may hold a memory that we want to keep, remind you of someone special or you may just not want to part with it. What if you could turn it into something you would wear? Now that would be so much better than throwing away. I am going to give you some ideas in this blog as the to possibilities of what you can do. So, lets re-style the clothes you no longer wear into something you will. Re-style the clothes you no longer wear into something you will We are living in a throwaway society, but we are becoming more aware of land fill , and more of us are looking to buy preloved and preserve the clothes we do have to last longer. I always turn to Pinterest to get my ideas and it has come up trumps this time. I cannot re-post the photos, but I can put a link to each post for you.

Will retail shopping ever be the same again?

Will retail shopping ever be the same again? Have you ventured to the shops since lock down for some retail therapy? Apart from the social distancing, queuing outside and hand sanitising the shops are not the same as before. Is this the new normal? I don’t mind wearing a mask, using the hand sanitiser, or walking around the store one way but it is a totally different experience now. Will retail shopping ever be the same again? Will retail shopping ever be the same again? I have been into town a few times and been into a few stores and yes it is a quite different experience. Hand sanitiser, one-way system, some people are wearing masks, (which will change from next Friday).  In most stores around the till area are clear screens but none of the staff are wearing masks not sure if that will change next week.  Most stores are one in one out, keeping the floor area open. There seems to be plenty of people around and everyone is queuing in an orderly fashion. For me its all about the stock they are carrying. I guess that as they have not sold a lot of the spring stock at full price, there is a limit as to what they can put into sale. Either that or they can put it back in the warehouse for next year.

How to make more outfits from your existing wardrobe

How to make more outfits from your existing wardrobe I think that one thing I have learnt during this lock down period is that probably most ladies have more clothes than they need. This makes choosing an outfit hard as we have so much to choose from. Do you really need to buy anything new? Or do you just like having something new to wear? I am going to share with you how you can make more outfits from your existing wardrobe. How to make more outfits from your existing wardrobe Rule number one never buy anything new unless you have three things in your wardrobe that you can wear with it. You do not want to have to purchase something else to go with it. What you are looking to do here is to build a wardrobe of things that all work with each other. This means you need less clothes but can make more outfits. How to make more outfits from your existing wardrobe I  have recently had a birthday and one of my good friends bought me a voucher for a boutique called  JoJoBlue  in Danbury. Today I visited the store and bought this lovely orange top. The beauty of this top is that you can wear it four ways. You can see in this short video; I have teamed it with a floral skirt. I could also wear it with denim jeans, cut off trousers, white linen trousers, beige cotton skirt, and navy wide leg trousers.…
