Recycling old clothes

What to do with an old sweater and an old fashioned dress?

I haven´t gone shopping in three months...I can't believe it! economical crisis is changing all my family's life up to a point I wouldn't have imagined two years ago; however, all efforts are worthy and we both know we're walking along the right path: spending the least possible for the sake of a better future.

However, I can't live without new clothes (I get bored easily...) so I've decided I'll recycle as many clothes as possible... This is my first attempt: an old sweater and dress. I knoooow...it's not the prettiest dress (actually,I think next time I'll try with brighter colours), but it's a good idea to turn something old into a new item.

And this is the final result. With the right accessories and a beautiful coat I'll feel as if I use it for the first time.

 

 

Have you ever done something like this? If so, why don't you post a picture and share your ideas? I'm looking forward to hearing from you all!
