Old clothes can be just as good as new items. Take for example the skirt in the picture below. But wait! Looks can be deceiving.
It's not actually a skirt, but a dress, which I haven't worn in over a year.
Try using old articles of clothing in new ways.
You never know just what you might come up with. It can change the whole way you look at the clothes in your closet.

Style Tip: I would purchase slightly longer button down shirts so that if you want to wear them under sweaters with the bottom showing, you're able to as long as it's not a long sweater, and even if you don't want it to show, you're still able to tuck it in. It's better to have something be too long than too short because you can always alter it or adjust accordingly with pins, sweaters, etc.

Could these be any cuter and more unique?! Not only that, these Pearl Leggings are available in Gray and Black and super soft and stretchy, but only for 2 and a half more days at Brickyard Buffalo for $19.50. These are a savings of 33.9% from $29.50.
There's never a time when I go into Kohl's and look at Lauren Conrad's Collection that I can't find something to buy. She has such feminine and chic items at reasonable prices. So many of my own clothing and jewelry items, especially jewelry, are from her collection. Here are a few of my favorites from her current collection.

Sorry this picture isn't the greatest for you to see what I'm wearing. You can just use your imagination from my description.

Tip of the Day: Throw a cardigan on with it to make it a work outfit. I did that one day and just tied the belt around the cardigan. Super cute and classy!

 The Pinterest Picture |  My plaid and pearls - both from Target |
When I came across this idea, I thought to myself, "I would have never done that, but that's great!" I loved it! The pearls definitely give the look a more feminine feel because plaid tends to make it feel more rugged and tomboyish. The pearls give the look a whole new element. When you've got that put together, pair it with a cardigan or throw on some heels and you've got a complete look, and if you add heels, it will make the look even more feminine than it already is.
Get the Look - I purchased both the plaid shirt and the pearl necklace from Target.
