Wardrobe feeling a little stale but no cash for anything new? Read on for some simple and free ways to give your style a refresher.

  1. Turn an old handbag into a cute clutch by cutting off the straps.
  2. Dye some white basics with beetroot or berry juice to add some brights to your wardrobe.
  3. Get out the needle and thread and re-hem dresses and skirts that are looking a little dowdy. Making them into mini’s will completely change their look.
  4. Get out all of the clothes taht you never wear and try them on in all kinds of different combinations. You might just find a combo you’d never considered looks amazing.
  5. Old bits of ribbon or rope can make great belts, and really give new life to a dress you’d relegated to the back of your wardrobe.
  6. Got a few cute brooches and buttons lying around. Clip them onto your trench coat or bag for a cute look.
  7. A small change to your hair such as parting it differently can completely change your look.
  8. Update a T-Shirt or cardigan by sewing on a fabric shape like a love heart, or by adding cool retro buttons.
  9. Raid your mom’s and boyfriends wardrobe’s. You never know what retro treasures your mom might be hiding and your boyfriend might be happy to share a blazer of two.
  10. Take a good look at the things you don’t wear. If you’ll never wear them as they are, think about what else you could use them for. Maybe the fabric of a dress would be great for a skirt, or the buttons off a jacket would really jazz up a cute shirt. Think outside the box.
