Before you donate your clothing take a good look at it. I purchased this purple dress from
The Limited a few years back. I got some good out of it but then grew tired of the style. (Why was I EVER into ruffles? Gross.)

| Before (pardon the wrinkles and Storm Trooper) |
I didn't want to give my $50 dress away, but what else was I suppose to do? Then it hit me. I decided to change the dress into a skirt. Now, if I had the time and know-how I would have done this myself, but I didn't. I took it to my alteration shop and it cost me $20. That was well worth it. I wear the skirt all the time, way more than I did the dress, and it has pockets! That's a rare find in a skirt or dress.

Try it for yourself. Find items in your closet that you rarely wear and determine why. I bet you'll find something you can give a second life to.
