In this first video, the super cute video host shows 1 sweater and 16 ways to wear it! But I'm quite sure this could work with a nice long top as well - at least I'm gonna give it a try!

1 Top, 16 Ways to Wear it
Today has really been a day of 'how to see things differently'. And in the process, I landed on some great videos that really have me rethinking how to use my wardrobe. And there's a bonus - no sewing!!!
In this first video, the super cute video host shows 1 sweater and 16 ways to wear it! But I'm quite sure this could work with a nice long top as well - at least I'm gonna give it a try!
She also shows 30 ways to wear a button down shirt. I'm more keen to try the sweater, but what's more important here is that she really has me thinking about what's possible in a new way.
I absolutely loved seeing this example from a young lady who inherited a top from her dad. When I see someone this young that is willing to experiment with repurposing, I have great hope for the future!
There are so many examples out there - now I just need to get some pieces out and experiment! How about you? Would you wear any of these styles?
Until next time... Mike

I made a couple of Valentine projects myself this year if you missed the posts for my 15-minute recycled T-shirt heart and the forest glam twig Valentine.
And if you've got a fabulicious Valentine creation and you want to share it with the world, hop over to this Valentine party with Kate at Cheap Crafty Mama.
Don't forget to share this collection with your friends!
Until next time...
