Old Clothes, New Ways

We have so much, too much clothing to begin with, yet we’re still coming up short. Nothing seems to match, nothing seems to “go” so we tear through our wardrobe like the Tasmanian Devil and still, nothing. But that’s not true is it? There’s always something. There just has to be.

We are often so used to wearing our clothes in a certain fashion. We all have a signature style and that’s great but we can get stuck in a “style rut” if we don’t get creative with our clothing. For example, a skirt could make a great tube top for a night out with the girls. An oversized silk scarf can be a great accessory tied around the waist, worn as a skirt or even fashioned into a top.

That belt you usually wear with those jeans could go great wrapped around the waist of an oversized blazer. Get creative with layering. We often have such one-dimensional outfits and forget that pairing and layering can really transform an outfit. We also say here on Style Sonata that the devil is in the details, so get into your accessories that you don’t wear everyday or that you only wear to weddings or on birthdays. To be continued…
