Do you wear things not as intended?

[Evo-ny]

What fashion mixups do you try to pull off? I've found that I've got a lot of articles that I either wear backwards, inside out, or just not as they're meant to be worn.

Easy one are those camisole/spaghetti strap tanks. I bought a bunch with lace in the front, but when I want to wear it underneath a v-neck top and not having the lace showing, I just wear it backwards. I also make sure the tag is either cut out or invisible before doing so!

I bought a shirt that kinda looked like this:


I'll put it on backwards and wear it to work when my hair is down and flat ironed.

The other day I went looking for some nice bracelets, but couldn't find anything decent. Suddenly discovered these gems! Turns out they're actually earrings. Not anymore!


A while back, I used to buy extra large kids clothes. I can't really do that anymore, but I have a Youth XL hockey jersey (Yes, I'm Canadian) in my closet because they're half the price and fit MUCH better.

Any other tips, tricks, or all out ridiculousness that just seems to work?

I've done the earrings as bracelets also.

I once saw a girl, wear a long blazer as a dress. She cinched it with a belt, paired with heels. She was short and it worked for her.

I wear my choker tag link necklaces as bracelets and stack them; I mix the metals I have one silver one and a gold piece and stack them for a chunky look. Also I buy a hook finding and attach it to the necklaces to ensure I don't lose them while wearing them as bracelets.

I've worn an elastic waist rushed skirt as a strapless blouse before and cinched it with a belt.

Sweater as a skirt. Usually the stretchy kind. Large mens dress shirt as a skirt. Ive turned old shirts into vests or shrugs.
Skirt as tube tops

Sorry, I am not that creative

I love using neck ties as belts.

I've wrapped long necklaces around my wrists & ankles and worn them as bracelets/anklets.

I've also used necklaces as headbands.

Speaking of headbands... Instead of trashing old legging, tights, or the sleeves of old shirts... I make comfy headbands out of them.

I use hypoallergenic soft pink lipstick as blush. It looks great after being properly blended, lasts longer than powder blush, & I don't have to worry about my sensitive skin breaking out. (I have one that I only use as blush. I don't use it on my lips at all).

I have a couple skirts that I sometimes wear as a tube tops under blazers.

I'm always turning skinny jeans into cuffed capris by simply rolling them up.

^^I also cut up shirts as headbands.

I wear maxi-dresses as skirts since some of mine never reach my feet. Just throw on a belt and I'm good to go.

Maxi-dresses as skirts on a regular.
I remake clothes - dresses into skirts, teeshirts into tanktops.
Necklaces as bracelets.
