Four DIY solutions to stay on-trend

The quest to constantly keep our wardrobes up to date, despite tough economic times, makes me realize that my mantra of “rethink, reuse, and re-invent” is more necessary than ever before. There’s no need to splurge on the latest items to stay on-trend; you can turn older, everyday items into high-fashion fabulousness (and you don’t have to be a seamstress to do it)! DIY may be intimidating at first, but keep in mind, this is not just about doing it yourself — it's about doing it your way! Bobbie Thomas, TODAY style editor and author of the Buzz column for In Touch Weekly, shows you how to incorporate four trends onto pieces from your very own closet.

Shopping for spring? Check your closet first

We all have basic pieces to wear to work in our closets, and we tend to wear them over and over in traditional ways. But as we start looking forward to new spring styles, here are some easy ways to take the “boring basics” (things you don't need to buy again) and recycle them into exciting, trendy new looks for the forthcoming season. Before you go to the mall, start your shopping in your closet — you’ll find that by adding inexpensive updated pieces, you can create a whole new wardrobe!We all have one: a white, button-front, short-sleeved shirt.

One key to great style? Your closet

While the white button-down is a classic on its own, the addition of a skinny belt can instantly add an hourglass silhouette to this item. Let’s face it — the white button-down was originally introduced as a man’s dress shirt, and can feel boxy and boyish. By pairing it with a delicate belt, you can create contrast and add a ladylike curve. It’s likely you’ve gotten into a routine of tucking this piece into a pair of pants for work, or leaving it loose for a casual weekend look. This time, try adding an skinny belt at your natural waistline to carve out a sexy hourglass silhouette. You can find a wide variety at from $5-8!
