What to do with those jeans that you’ve kept b/c they fit like a glove, but the style is so last decade so cut ’em off. Yeh, . (b/c these were) Before I get rid of anything in my closet, I ask myself “what could be done to make this work?” A lot of time I grab the scissors and it turns out wrong, so it’s hit and miss.

When you’re trying on clothes in a store, or shopping online make sure to check the tag for the materials that they are made of. If you want the coziest pieces try for cotton or cashmere and avoid polyester blends. Even the most expensive t-shirts can be made up of cheap fabrics that can easily be distorted in the wash.
