Fabulously broke

Instant glam updates for the little black dress in your closet when you are on a shoe string budget

Hate being seen in the same outfit twice but in a tight spot this year end? Well, life would be so easy if all of us had wardrobes that looked right out of net-a-porter. But then again
with just a little imagination, a pair of scissors, a few inexpensive but interesting add-ons and of course some handiness, your regular LBD (even one that has seen a party too many) can be transformed into a stunning number

Smart Chic




Dress style: No frills, no fuss. A plain figure hugging knee length dress
Update: An LBD that fits well and is short enough can easily pair with leggings as a top. Bright coloured leggings and fishnet stockings are big right now and are a great way of adding interest. Cinch at the waist with a broad belt in a vibrant hue.


Boho princess




Dress style: A spaghetti strap evening dress with tiered layers
Update: Thanks to the layers this dress can be effortlessly transformed into a very flattering knee length skirt. Even teaming with a simple camisole that contrasts well can have the necessary effect when worn with the right accessories


Frock star



Dress style: A fitted dress with interesting ruffle trim
Update: Alter your dress to a one shoulder style and use a pair of studded brooches for bling and nobody will even know.
