Outfit Makeover

What's wrong with that outfit?

Have you ever bought an article of clothing that you loved, and then changed your mind about it after you've worn it a few times? Ever spent a fortune on a designer dress, for instance, only to discover it didn't enhance your appearance? We have all had a similar experience. But what do you do with one of these closet decorations now that you own it?

Donate it to Goodwill? Wear it even though you hate it? Perhaps you simply leave it in your closet and get absolutely nothing for your investment, or worse, spend more money experimenting with different accessories to make it work.

For instance, maybe that expensive dress would work for you with some carefully selected accessories. Maybe it just needs some alterations. Or maybe it really is hopeless. In that case, you'll want to learn why, so you'll never make the same mistake again.
