I just love -love, love, love, love, love, LOVE - recyclying and "upcycling" old clothes. I think it's the best way to keep my wardrobe up to date while being kind to the earth and my wallet.
I still get hand-me-downs from cousins and friends, and a lot of the time I'll receive clothes that are nice but don't quite fit. Or, equally as common, I'll get pieces that are almost in style but just need to have features either added or removed. This is the case with a white blouse I got from my friend, about a year ago.
