Spring 2015 HOT Trend

Here we go BFF family... it's getting warm outside and the fashion game is changing. There are plenty of styles that have been repeating year to year but there always seem to be a new "revision and twist" to the more current version which makes you want to trade your old stuff in. Marketing companies know this and play on your feelings and urges to buy. For those of you with similar thoughts patterns to myself then you'll know that things were constructed better years ago and you may even see a noticeable difference between merchandise made a two years ago versus the stuff you're seeing on shelves now. Companies are always looking for a way to cut corners and save so my advise to you would be to keep your money and refreshing your own garments with your signature flare.

Let's take camouflage as it's is going to be big again this Spring/Summer. Best option is to either go thrift shopping to find old great quality garments that we're able to make new revisions to or get out your own older, better constructed garments and add insignia and embellishment. It's rather easy and quick to do so I'll get you started on where and what to look for when searching.

We have two really great embellished fatigue jackets that would cost you thousands of dollars if you were to purchase straight off the rack. The jacket itself is basic but the embellishments are what make you look in envy and that is what drives up the cost.You're paying to be different! We'll be making our own $1000 jacket with no more the $30 in add-ons.

Below I'll give you some examples of items that you can use to embellish your own garments and where you can find them.

You can look on Amazon or Etsy for Army rope shoulder boards or search Army/Military buttons.

You should get a list which will included items as below all from Amazon.

 $12.99 Amazon for a pack of 10

$9.99 Amazon

And you can add patches or Army board rank patches / corporal insignia.

You can easily find a cheap jacket at stores such as H&M and really get the most for your money. 

Example would be this $69.00 jacket from H&M. If we were to buy this jacket and purchase 3 accessories from above, this jacket could easily be transformed to a jacket worth over $400. The cut of the jacket remains and the overall functionality and color are perfect. 

I'll continue to add post every week of how to make your old NEW and how to really shop to get the most out of your money because every dollar counts. You deserve to look your best and feel your best while having money to enjoy it all.
