Top 3 Clothing Edits for Spring

Spring cleaning is that glorious time when you donate or throw out all of your old, ill-fitting clothing to make space for a new wardrobe and a new style. But purchasing all new stuff can get very expensive. How does a girl remedy the disparity between Spring cleaning and her budget? Simple, revamp your old clothing. Pieces you once loved can be new again with some editing and sewing. Here are your top 3 clothing edits for Spring.

Adding Lace

Sometimes shirts can become too small or shrunken in the wash and dryer. Now, you don't have to throw these cropped tops away! With a little lace, you can turn the shirt into a brand new look that's current for the new season. Thanks to blog Inspiration & Realisation, you can recreate this look flawlessly and be chic for Spring. Follow the instructions on their website inspired by Valentino or Miu Miu.

Straight to Skinny Jeans

There's no need to throw out your old straight work pants. You can follow the tutorial from The Vault Files to recycle your old work pants into adorable skinny pants! This new self-tailored look is perfect for days out and to show off your toned body from all your hard New Years Resolution work. All you need is a needle and thread or a sewing machine to make it work.

Blouse to Tank

Last but not least, you can turn your long sleeve work blouses into a cute summer/spring top! All you need is scissors and some basic sewing skills. Find a blouse that is patterned and preferably a lighter material. These make the best shirts. For this and future projects, check out DIY Fashion for all your altering tips!
