Mid-semester and you are already o-v-e-r those clothes purchased during back-to-school season. Instead of i. going into debt buying a whole new wardrobe and/or ii. pouting every time you get dressed, you should work with what you got. With a few basic supplies and a little creativity, those boring basics are suddenly anything but, well, basic.
Check out these five simple and inexpensive ways to transform pieces already in your closet!
1—That skinny belt no longer fit your style (or waist)? Transforming it into a grunge-inspired necklace is a cinch (pun-intended). Simply wrap it around your neck and voilà! (Photo via @erinbrownies)
2—Take your hemline and style up a notch. Chop and fray the bottom of your old skinny jeans for a fashion refresh that will have your friends asking to borrow your scissors. (Photo via @ximena.adriana)
3—That standard issue white T-shirt just got a whole lot less basic. Follow this DIY for a rock-glam look using materials you already have on hand! (Photo via @am_spencerrrr)
4—Give your backpack some personality. Head to the fabric store and grab some felt, fur and appliqués and get creative! This upgrade is not only on-trend, but gives your fellow students something to smile at during their walk to class. (Photo via @kaycaden)
5—Those slip-on sneakers from last season are in need of a facelift. Bring them into the “now” but embellishing them with patches, stickers or some good ole fashion, one-of-a-kind Sharpie drawings. (Photo via @wild_advantage)
