How to take your old wardrobe and make it new again:

How often do we look into our closet and see a never-ending array of options but still seem to have nothing to wear? Today’s fashion is all about mixing old with new and expensive with inexpensive. Here is a look at how to take common pieces and turn your “blah” wardrobe into some new popular looks for winter.

A Lunch Date:
Taking any loose fitting, plain top, throwing on a belt and a cropped blazer dresses up an outfit but keeps it casual, perfect for a lunch date. For days when bare legs are not weather permitted, try pairing the outfit with tights and a pair for high boots. A sweater in place of the blazer can keep the outfit casual and keep you warm on cooler days.

Girls Night Out:
For a casual night out with girls try a high-waisted skirt with a plain shit tucked in and a belt to accessorize. If it’s a chilly night add your own touch with neutral or coloured tights and a sweater or cropped jacket. Accessorize with a necklace, scarf or hat. Dress it up with heels or keep it cool and casual with boots.

The following outfit is perfect for a cooler afternoon and can be worn for a walk in the park or a day shopping with friends.

Dinner & A Movie
The following outfit is perfect for a dinner date and comfortable enough to cozy up to your date in a movie theater. A basic tank tucked into a pair of dark skinny jeans with a sweater and jacket. Accessorize with a belt and necklace and keep warm with a hat and scarf. Keep it simple with a pair of comfortable boots for those cooler nights.

Sunday Brunch:
For a Sunday out with the family this flirty yet conservative look will keep you warm and fashionable without over doing it. To stay warm in the winter months wear a heavier material and pair the dress with thicker tights. Throw on a belt to create a narrower waistline and jazz up a simple dress. Wear a longer neutral sweater to keep warm and match it with a stylish hat or scarf and a pair of tall boots.
