If your fashion budget i is: small, mix quality with inexpensive items. Here’s Emily Cho’s reasoning: ‘“‘Some people who foltow . this strategy believe that either.the shoes or the bag should be the outstanding, costly items. I think it’s most important to put the showpiece on top. Wear the expensive item near your face. You can usually get away-with an inexpensive skirt, if it fits well, because people don’t study it when you’re seated or moving. But superior fabric or tailoring in a blouse or jacket will instantly, and consistently, enhance the impression you make.”’ 1990 Terrace Review, we indicated |

closet. What will mix and match to create a new look? What is needed to complete it? Experiment with what’s already there. Go shopping in your own closet.

Old clothes worn in new ways

Here are five ideas for working with what already exists in your closet:

J) To change their look, wear small neck scarves or sweaters inside shirts, suggests fashion consultant Emily Cho. ‘“‘And why shouldn’t a heavier fabric blouse act as a shirt jacket when worn over a lighter one?’’

2) To make an inexpensive outfit look like it’s worth more,

remove those thread belt loops from dresses and replace self-tie ~ belts with co-ordinating leather belts.

3) What about remodelling a good quality out-of-fashion gar- ment — provided it doesn’t look too worn. Look through pattern catalogues like Butterick or Simplicity for ideas.

4) Even changing the buttons can update a seasoned outfit. And simply adding better-quality buttons can provide a more ex- pensive look to a garment.

5) If you already have such a thing in your wardrobe as a good versatile outfit, you’ll have the flexibility to dress it up or down with the simplest of accessory changes.

A new look for an old standby

I have a favourite blue knit dress. It’s second-hand and a few seasons old. But I love it. How can I make it special for another season?

New accessories. In a daring colour! Older clothes sometimes need nothing more than a stylish this-season belt or scarf — maybe in daring and ingenious colour combination.

The value of accessories

“One way to vary your basic wardrobe is by adding the right -accessories,’’ says Emily Cho. “They can make the same > outfit look and feel different.’’

Scarves: ‘“‘An inexpensive scarf can change your look i In a, flash. Knotted at the neck, draped over a coat, twisted around the head, tied at the waist, wrapped at the hips — scarves are in- teresting and they’re fun."”’ .

«Belts: ‘The accent of a belt sometimes performs a minor miracle. ”

_ Jewelry: ‘Never underestimate the importance of jewelry. ” Sometimes just that small addition of a well- -placed pin can make all the difference.

_ These are accessories too: Your hairstyle, your makeup, and your hands are also accessories to your outfits. Even your choice of fragrance! Experiment here as well.
