There is nothing more depressing than having a craving for new things that your bank account won't let you satisfy. That empty feeling of wanting, no NEEDING to shop for something new and exciting but having limited funds.
When the funds are limited the creativity must be flowing instead. You have a whole store sitting right at your fingertips and you don't even know it yet. Best of all everything there is free! Look through your closet and in the jewelry box. I bet you have some things you can use that, when combined, will get you something completely new, fabulous and best of all, better than you could actually by in a store! Believe it or not it's really true. You've just got to learn to think in the proper direction. Examples: I just made myself a new purse out of a corset that I never felt fit me properly. I'm not into sowing or anything so if your getting a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach because you're not a crafter, don't. It' way easier than you may think. Watch this quick demo to find out how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo9nAKFtFrQ Some of my favorite videos to make on our youtube channel, jekyllhydeclub, are the D.I.Y demos because I love sharing creative ideas with how to use those things we already have lying around when we have a craving for something new and exciting to wear and not a ton of money with which to go shopping. I'm thinking of making a t shirt purse next from a shirt of one of my favorite bands. Gives a new meaning to rockin' that bag, right? The jewelry you like but don't wear enough can be used to decorate bags or jackets as zipper pulls, to dangle from the strap of a bag or purse, or even to adorn your hair. How's that gonna work you ask? Easy. Check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN81gRia0KY&list=PL4XT1IOrty7AbM2pEE_lzFrV8ql04mjsH&index=4v All these things are meant to motivate others to design items from the things stay like personalized just for them. Nothing feels better than having something just the way you want it and better than you could buy by far...and best of all for free. Not to mention it's something fun and stimulating to do that's way better than binge eating when you're bored... So go look through your closet and your jewelry box. Set aside all the things that you feel aren't getting their proper use and make yourself something special! Morticia
