May 12, 2009 My closet...well, it's a bit of a mess. There's always a pile of clothing that's just not quite right: "This skirt is too short, but the suede is so gorgeous...And the color is so amazing!" These thoughts ultimately lead to the nearest charity (as one woman's trash is another's treasure). The kicker is that getting rid of old things allows me to go on guilt-free Etsy benders to look for new things, and today's collection of repurposed clothing will not disappoint. I've composed a most exquisite mix of recycled clothing and accessories, reworked into new pieces that will fit just right. Now if I can only find something that includes worn green suede...   V Back Xtra long Top This extra-long top (yes!) was made from a recycled cotton jersey 80's dress (minus the shoulder pads).
