Back to school and out of work? We feel you, we’ve been there before! Luckily for you we’ve got a bunch of tips to keep your wallet happy and you looking gorgeous!
GIVE YOUR OLD CLOTHES A FACE LIFT
Bored of your old threads? Instead of tossing them and buying more – repurpose them! How about turning your old t-shirt into a scarf? Cut a shape out of a boring old sweatshirt. Dip dye an outdated pair of jeans. The possibilities are seriously endless.
SMART SKIN CARE
It’s a product you don’t want to skimp on – it’s your skin after all. Luckily, CLEAN & CLEAR® MORNING GLOW® Moisturizer SPF15 is not only tried, tested and LOVED, but it will keep your skin hydrated and protect from unsuspecting autumn UV damage. All this for under $15!
CARRY OVER ITEMS
Work pieces from your summer wardrobe into your fall one – it’s probably the easiest thing you can do. Wear your favourite pieces all year round! One-piece bathing suit? Wear it with your wide-legs. Throw a sweater on top. Bam.
PUT YOUR GYM MEMBERSHIP ON HOLD
Go outside; take a walk with a friend, ROLLERBLADE! Come on, people, you’ve got a solid three months of amicable weather left. It’s free. Use it. Then when the snow rolls in, you can head back to the gym.
CLOTHING SWAPS
You borrow clothes from your friends ALL THE TIME. So, you might as well keep those items she doesn’t want and she’ll take whatever you’re planning to give up on! Clothing swaps are the easiest way to re-fresh you closet, or you can hit up a local thrift store and rummage through. Just make sure you’re bringing home something that doesn’t have holes and tears in it.
TRY D.I.Y.
A little creativity can go a long, long way, dear friends. Want a $220 Proenza Schouler bracelet? Try making it yourself. Want a $285 Free People turban? Try making it yourself.
TRY D.I.Y.: HAIR EDITION
Lots of people may kill us for saying this. But instead of paying $50+ for a trim, maybe – just maybe – try doing it yourself? We know it sounds risky, but it’s just hair. Use a razor, give your tips a choppy look. If you fail – your hairdresser can save you! We’re not recommending you give yourself a complete re-style, but trust us, the little things can be done above your bathroom sink.
