You want new clothes, but you don't have the means to buy something stylishly name brand. You have a closet full of clothing but no idea how to make your look uniquely fit you. How can you create a clothing style that fits your budget and your taste? In my book, Revive Your Ugly Clothes! Upcycling, Refashioning, Reusing, Recycling Old & Outdated Clothing, I will teach you how to save money while reviving your old wardrobe. This book is full of tips, tricks, and advice to get the most out of the clothing you already own or adding cheap pieces and other "ugly" clothes. Why spend more money buying something new when you can make what you already have work for you. When I was younger, my mom would always pick out my clothes, and this continued probably up until about 5th grade. I had no sense of my own style, and this made it hard for me to put together outfits that made any sense. One day, I felt like a tomboy, and the next day I was a total girly girl. I remember one day wearing high-waisted shorts and a green, collared polka-dot shirt. I was proud of myself because I cropped the shorts and added studs on the sides, so I thought that automatically made me stylish. Little did I know, the outfit was outrageously uncool. So, how did I finally learn how to dress? It's actually not too long of a story. Simply put, when I got to college, I decided to give modeling a shot. After landing a couple of gigs, I became very interested in fashion and started following top models on Instagram. I would screenshot every outfit that I liked in an attempt to recreate it. Later on, I noticed that some of my favorite influencers would incorporate a lot of vintage pieces into their outfits, and this gave me the idea to rummage my closet for clothes I no longer wore and try to find ways to alter them in order to make them more stylish. I will warn you, it's not easy to do, but I'm here to give you my best advice on how to make even the ugliest clothes look like they belong on the runway. So, if you have a serious shopping addiction and your wallet just isn't getting away with it, or you simply enjoy saving money and being artsy, then this how-to guide is definitely for you. I will teach you how to recycle, refashion, and repurpose old, ugly pieces of clothing to revitalize your wardrobe. You'll feel like a million bucks without spending a dime!
