HOW TO RECYCLE YOUR CLOSET


Today I have for you a look that proves recycling your closet can be fun. 

Three weeks ago I wrote all about a beautiful boho dress from Blak Label. Think all black, plunging lace neckline and bell sleeves.  (You can see more photos HERE.)

In the past month I've worn that (hendrix) dress to so many different occasions, yet I came up with one more thing I can do with it. Since it has a cinched waist, it was so easy to turn the dress into a top! A crop top, if you will! And what's better than a boho chic crop top for summer?!
Right, nothing. So I paired it with my lace black shorts and the Rue 21 bag and voila! An easy breezy summer look that will be perfect for the music festival season that has just began.


PL: Dzisiejszy look to dowod na to, ze warto korzystac z ubran, ktore juz mamy w szafie, by stworzyc nowe oryginalne stylizacje. Trzy tygodnie temu przygotowalam post o pieknej sukience boho od Blak Label. Niezastapiona czern, rozkloszowane rekawy i gleboki koronkowy dekolt to wszystkie atrybuty tej sukienki, ktore absolutnie kocham (mozecie zobaczyc wiecej zdjec TUTAJ). 

Sukienke ubralam juz na wiele roznych okazji, znalazlam jeszcze jednak jeden sposob na jej wykorzystanie. Dzieki sznurkowi obejmujacego talie w sukience, mozemy dopasowac ja do naszego ciala w zaleznosci od naszych preferencji. Dlaczego wiec nie zamienic sukienke w bluzke?! Sznurek stabilnie podtrzymuje reszte podwnietej do gory skorki wiec voila! Nowa stylizacja na lato, idealna na sezon muzyczno - festiwalowy! 

A co Wy mysliscie o takim recyklingu swojej szafy?






I already praised Rue 21 here and here for some great finds, and this bag is just another score! I actually thought the bag was about $18, but at the checkout I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it's only $5! I swear every time I'm shopping there, I find the best deals.

      Perfect for saving some money and maybe even finding some old forgotten pieces! I also love selling those pieces I don't wear anymore, and making space for new ones! ;) It's all about balance :)

    Uważam, że recykling szafy to świetny pomysł, jednak trudno wprowadzić to wszystko w życie, ale dla chcącego, nic trudnego!

    That dress converts into a top nicely! :) And I like your $5 bargain bag! :)

    I think it's good to try and come up with different ways to wear things - having variety in our wardrobe means we are less likely to shop to get new outfits, when we can make something new in our own wardrobes :)
