Fashion Cents - Look great on YOUR budget

Summer 2007 - Look like a million on next to nothing

Feature article: The Malls City Style Swimwear Double-Up Ethical Fashion Two Items, Six Ways Wear Two Items Six Ways I know, you think it's impossible to wear two measly items in 10 different ways. But it's not! You can spruce up a simple outfit with a few small changes. What you'll need in addition: underwear, belts, scarves, pins, tank tops Once you've tried these, they'll get you jumpstarted for other items in your closet you can add. If you can do this much with just two items, imagine what you could do with three, four or five! Now you have no excuse to say "I have nothing to wear" again. Outfit #1:Old friends We'll take the two items shown below: a white full-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans. You're likely to have these in your closet already. You can substitute white for another color and pants for jeans. A - just pull on the white shirt with the jeans. Simple. B - cuff the jeans. it's a whole new look. You can cuff them as high as you like. C - wear the white shirt tied at the waist. D - add a sash between the shirt and the jeans. E - roll up the sleeves on the white shirt, and turn up the collar. What a mysterious look. F - wear the shirt partly open over some sexy underwear. Other ideas: fasten the shirt with a brooch or pin, layer the shirt with other shirts, roll up the jeans Outfit #2: Housewife? Our two items are a long A-line skirt and a cardigan Old way - wear the cardigan over the skirt. B - pull the skirt up to your chest, like a tube dress. Use a scarf as a wrap. C - pull the cardigan over your new tube dress (it'll look like a top and short skirt). D - cinch the tube dress at the waist with a belt and wear the cardigan open over it (cardigan optional). E - wear the cardigan with a tank open over your skirt. Tie a scarf in your hair. F - Tie over your cardigan and skirt with a big sash that covers your tummy. Other ideas: tie the cardigan around the waist of the tube dress, or tie a belt just under the chest of the tube dress for an empire waist Outfit #3: Beachy keen Every girl looks great in a miniskirt. Grab a skirt (a little over knee-length is ok) and a long tube top. Old way - Wear the tube top over the miniskirt. B - Switch! Wear the tube top as a skirt and pull the miniskirt on top. Tie with a belt. C - Just wear the skirt like a tube dress as above. Cinch at the side with a pretty pin. D - Wear the tube top as a top OVER the miniskirt dress. E - Wear the miniskirt or tube top as a skirt with your bathing suit. F - Tie a scarf folded like a triangle to make a top, then wear the skirt with it. Other ideas: if you choose a skirt and top in the same color, add a belt to make it look like one long dress. You can also layer the top and the skirt over one another and wear with a tank top. Outfit #4: Country club Get country club chic with a pair of capris and a light short-sleeve sweater. Old way - Wear the capris with the sweater. B - Open up the sweater and reveal a tank top. C - Roll up the capris to make shorts. Tie a scarf at your neck. D - Cuff the capris. Add a belt. E - fold in the sleeves of the sweater (or roll them) to make a sleeveless top. F - belt the outfit with a scarf secured by a flower pin. Other ideas: Take a big scarf and wear it as a top over your capri-shorts. You can also wear a tank over your sweater. Phew. That's a lot of ideas. Now go try them yourself in your own closet! Remedy Page | rani's Home Copyright 2007 rani All rights reserved. Fashion Cents is NOT affiliated with Fashion Cents stores.
