| | August 10, 2010 You savvy stylistas know reimagining the items in your wardrobe is a great way to invigorate your look and save some cash. But have you ever thought about the favor you're doing the planet when you reduce demand for new clothes and accessories? It's huge! Your formerly fabulous formalwear does not belong in the landfill. Challenge yourself to transform gorgeous vintage fabrics into handbags, hankies and headbands; honor your granny by making a statement necklace out of her favorite brooch; find the flirty skirt hidden in that overblown bridesmaid's dress from your bestie's wedding. Remember: Experimentation is the heart of fashion. If you love the aesthetic and attitude but lack the crafty finesse, check out the amazing recycled, repurposed, and vintage goodies I found right here on Etsy.
