Through the 'Looking Glass'
Written by Fiona pattison 18th Oct 2008
Hello Ladies,
Hope you are all well? Welcome to my very first blog. I am so happy to have joined the Looking Glass team and I am going to bring you interesting and exciting news from Looking Glass and around the globe.
First up: Tips on how to declutter your wardrobe, now with the revoution that is 'fashion recycling', don't be afraid to get out your 'singer' machine. You can make wonderful things from your old clothes, just recently I took an old top and made it into a skirt. I was quite pleased with myself, until I realised I hadn't sewn it quite right and it ended up fitting my neice better, who is ten. Hee! Hee! Oh well!
Below is my tips to a perfect wardrobe transformation...........
1, Go through your wardrobe and put it in to sections - spring/summer and autumn/winter. Be honest with yourself, if you wont wear it and it can't be recycled then pass it on...... (friend, charity shop, fashion designers)
2, Sentimental? - Share the love - it will be become someone else's good luck charm. (Friends/family/charity shop)
3, Hold a 'fashion exchange' party, where you swap shop your clothes, I went to one last summer and picked up some fantastic little items that I would not have necessarily found in the shops. Please check out this fantastic website www.fashionexchange.co.uk it is run by a very good friend of mine, and you may well pick up a bargin or two!!!
4, Make it a fun experience, this is about 'you' be inventive and create a new you, from the old you. Fashion is meant to be fun and experimental! Enjoy the experience and tell your friends to do the same. You will feel like a new woman afterwards. Then go and treat yourself to a new little number from www.lookingglassstore.com
5, 'One person's rubbish is another person's treasure'
Have fun and let us know how you get on.......If you want to share please email info@lookingglassstore.com
Best Wishes!
