"People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile"
~Lee Mildon
Hey everyone!
As you all know, I love to save money (and sometimes pay nothing at all, lol!) on new outfits. In the past, I spent so much on new clothes not realizing that with some creativity, I could create my own stunning looks for a fraction of the cost. It is for this reason that I had decided to start a new segment on my site. Introducing *insert drumroll here*...
FRUGAL FASHION TIPS
*insert roaring crowd applause here* These tips will offer nice little tidbits about looking runway chic on a minuscule budget. The first edition of this series involves me taking some old school dresses, and converting them into beautiful summer dresses. This method works out well and definitely reduces the stress that women that with the "more to love" body type have to deal with when finding nice summer attire. In true naturalNaijabeauty fashion, I've decided to introduce this segment with a video:
Tips for finding the perfect skirts:
- Belts are completely optional for these dresses, but since I have such a large chest, they help give the dresses a nice shape (skirts with elastic waists are the cash cow for women with larger chests).
- Go to your local Goodwill, Salvation Army or consignment shop and look around for creative print skirts for great prices.
- Make sure to wear a pair of heels and bring a couple of belts (different colors) so that you can test out the dresses before you buy them.
- Be as creative as possible with these dresses and don't shy away from a particular pattern because it "doesn't look flattering". Step outside of your comfort zone because you never know what gems you'll find while out and about.
Peace & blessings,
nNb :)
