Man, I love fashion – there’s no denying that.
What I love even more? Extending the shelf life of my clothes, which I do often. It’s not uncommon for me to make a maxi dress into a long skirt, or a scarf into a shirt. It’s kind of, just what I do.
In the spirit of that, I wanted to share some fashion hacks that I’ve come to love. They range from easy tricks to making completely new outfits.
Why spend $ on something when you can do yourself, AMIRIGHT ladies?!
1. Use a straightener to iron your shirt collar.
2. White wine WILL remove red wine.
3. To stop angora from shedding, put it in a ziplock bag and freeze it for at least 3 hours.

4. If you can’t keep your zipper up on your jeans, try a keychain on the end of the zipper. Put the ring around the button, and it stays hidden when you button your jeans close.
5. Clean dirt off of suede shoes by using a nail file.
6. Fix the underwire poking out of your bra with adhesive moleskin.
7. Put a tank in between your button-up and sweater for a smoothing effect.

8. Put nail polish on loose buttons to keep them from falling off.
9. Clear nail polish also stops a run in your tights.
10. Save on buying legwarmers, and cut up an old sweater.

11. Fix a broken zipper with petroleum jelly and a Q-tip.
12. Baby wipes + deodorant stains = PROBLEM SOLVED.
13. Use shaving cream to remove makeup (mostly foundation) from your clothes.
14. CAP TOE FLATS FOR THE WIN

15. Use Windex (or any glass cleaner) to shine up those patent leather heels.
16. M&J Trimming‘s perfect way to make a new hat.
17. Tuck the top of your maxi dress into your waistline, and secure with a belt for a maxi skirt.
18. Iron your button up shirt inside out.
19. Make your t-shirts super soft by leaving them in salt water (1 quart water & 1/2 cup of salt).
20. Finally, DIY for this amazing clutch and save some serious moolah.
(because, you would probably ruin the bag while out and about, anyways.)
