Reduce. Reuse. Recycle


By: Jennifer Fernandez
Sad to see your favorite summer looks go? Don't be. In this troubled economy, make the most of past season favorites by incorporating them into your fall wardrobe. Save money and reduce the amount of clothes you buy, by resorting to key pieces you loved from seasons before. Reuse past fall/winter pieces, by adding layers, accessories and color. Recycle looks from past seasons by refreshing them for the season to come, add accessories and simple additions like; broaches, buttons and tailoring to make an old look new again.

The easiest summer-to-fall wardrobe recycle is the summer dress. Transform a maxi or peplum sundress by adding layers. A fitted sweater looks great over a peplum if it stops at the waste where the peplum begins. A cardigan fits perfect over a summer maxi especially when cinched at the waist. Other summer looks gone fall, the dress short can easily transform for fall with the addition of thick winter stockings and boots. For fall/winter 12, layers are IN layer up some of your summer favorites and get the most for your money.
Day Time Rewind: Make your look last day to night. Accessories are the easiest way to change a look from work to play. Daytime calls for layers, simple jewelry and comfortable footwear. For the night, take off your layers, replace daytime jewels with look at me bling and sub your comfy flats or wedges for sexy sky high heels to transform you into a night time showstopper.

Ecofriendly Style

No, this is not about organic clothing. This is about recycling a look and being fabulous. If your anything like me you could spend hours picking and pairing the right items together within your closet to wear on any particular occasion. When you go out at night,  are you spending double the time picking out clothes when you could be pre gaming with a glass of wine, or chatting with your friends? If you are female and fashion focused, the answer to this and many other wardrobe questions will be YES!

Did you ever consider that you could adjust an already wonderful outfit and still look fresh and well put together? Me neither...but I am now. Why do laundry you do not have to do.... and dry cleaning is out of this world expensive. Save yourself the drama and headache of wardrobe switching by making a good daytime outfit great for night time play.

 Lets say you wear a cute dress cardigan/ jean blazer ensemble to work ... you've dressed for the day by using day time accessories such as scarfs, glasses, flats, big carry-all bags and subtle jewelry. Why not ditch the day wear accessories and replace them with some mood changing fun loving feature items...

The trick is to change a look...by simply adding some shine and sparkle. Update the soft wearable day looks for something a little more edgy and fun...

Some of my favorite night time accessories...

A great Clutch- Trade in that big bag for something hand held...

                                                                         A Fun Heel- Stop traffic and turn heads in the perfect pump
                                                                                 I love these Sam Edelman Lorissa Spiked heel

Now lets change up your day time Jewelry...

Try a chunky or detailed necklace
or  depending on your top some great earrings
and if those do not do it for ya'... Add on the Bracelet bling
 
Finally... Hair and Makeup. Go from day time charm to night time vixen with a bold or smokey eye and sleek hair. 

These tips will easily take you from day time trabajo to night time hot mama in one fowl swoop...
Congratulations you have done a good deed... together we can all cut back water use and save on energy by reduce recycle and reusing outfits that we already have on....
