You have probably heard a few new terms like "recession-ista" or "stay-cation" coined during the economic recession over the last two years. While I'm not a huge fan of these new terms, I have recently engaged in some thrifty summer practices that might make these new slang words seem applicable. I beat out the heat with powerful air-conditioning and fans, and spent a few days in my hammock dreaming of sunny beaches and brightly colored, breezy sundresses. I saved a lot of money by staying home; I also saved by foregoing a few summer fashion trends and focused instead on altering items from my own closet and adding a few fun accessories.
One of these trends that I love is so easy. I love the look of grommets, eyelets and brads because they quickly dress up so many plain items. I have seen this trend in fashion magazines, funky boutiques and on women of all ages. This month I decided to scope out some cool new ideas that might just inspire all of us. |
