Ukay-ukay but make it fashion. Today’s latest trend of upcycling clothes are all over since the pandemic begun. Many of us spare our times to go the nearest thrift shops and there we look for goods that can match our level of fashion in the cheapest way possible. Sometimes, we rework old clothes from our cabinets too.
Thrift Stores Provide Gems
In thrift stores, the best companion we’ll ever have is our patience. It’s going to be a lifelong checking until you score a good find whether it’s a dress, coat, vests, or shoes.
Most of the times, there are a lot of great ones but your creative mind should do the work when you see one.
Reformation As A Form Of Art
People differ in taste when it comes to fashion. In this fast-fashion industry that we live in, we keep up to the latest trends without spending glorious amount of cash. We reform it and we let our mind do the talking. Some hidden gems are found inside our cabinets.
Instead of throwing or giving them away, wouldn’t it be nice to transform it into something new?
For example, you have this plain dress or plain sweatshirt and it has good quality, looks brand-new. You can check on the possible designs or style that you can do with the clothes using your sewing machine.

And voila! You now have a super chic dress with smooth stitches or you now have this backless style top from the old sweatshirt.

Refashioning
We keep up with the latest trends with the help of our creative minds that favor art, design, and sustainability. After all, it’s you who’s going to wear that clothing and you dress to express to the people around you.
It’s not a matter of having this brand-new dress that you bought for a very big amount compared on the one you saw and designed for your own liking.

At the end of the day, what matters is how you carry yourself wearing those clothes regardless of price, brand, or how it was made.

Well, true gems exist. Fashion means how well we carry ourselves despite and regardless of. Refashioning clothes is one way to be creative and at the same time in a very artistic way. You only need your patience, your materials, and ideas with you.
