Recycle and reinventyour wardrobe

Contd. from Page 25Meanwhile, if a stone studded neckpiece is your prizedpossession but has a stone missing, fret not. Fill the spacewith glue and paint it with a bright colour nail polish. Now, ifthat is not innovative, what is?PLAY WITH COLOURClothes often tend to wear out or bleed colour after a fewwashes. Instead of shoving them into the back of yourwardrobe or wearing them as nightwear, you can 'tie and dye'them for re-use. Knot a worn out tee and soak it in a bucket ofhot water containing salt, vinegar and easily available colourdye. After a few hours, you will find the colour seep into thetee and that too in a distinct design created by the knots.Another option is to acid wash clothes until they are bleachedwhite and then spray paint it in various hues.SUIT UPIf your staple black suit is in good condition, you can definitelyrepeat it at work or formal dinners. Just change your bow tieand add a different coloured pocket square. You can also goas far as changing the suit lapels and experiment with satin,velvet or textured lapels.
