Fashionancial Advice #17

Well just some sneak peak of my new book "Recession Fashion".

"Check out vintage shoes from savers. They're about 8 or 10 dollars. And just take them to shoe repair place and get extra sole added. That way it last longer. That should cost about 20 dollars. That means you have a long lasting classic casual shoes for 28 or 30 dollars."

"Vintage jumpers are awesome. Every op shop and second hand shop have them, also camberwell market. Dont worry about the jumbo size, because thats the part of the look. Always try to get the 100% wool. If you are bored of the oversize jumper look, you can put it in a laundry bag, wash them with warm or hot water, then put it in the dryer for at least 2 hours and you would get a distressed shrunken felt jumper. Dont forget to check your dryer every 20 minutes and just keep an eye on it, you dont want to burn the natural fiber."

"If you're bored of your polyester tees, you can change the shape, or create a permanent crease on any parts that you want by spraying a bit of water on it just to get some moisture in it. Then scrunch it in any areas that you want, use rubber band to hold the creases, and then put it in microwave for 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and check it every minutes. When its done, you would get permanent crease on your tees. Meaning new tees."

Thats all for now, more coming on my new book.
