Recycled Style: Summer Looks Transformed for Winter

Summer is close to an end and so is that your summer wardrobe. But before you begin shopping for fall and winter garbs, you may want to take another look at some of your summer styles. Did you know that many of your summer looks could easily be recycled?

Have you ever considered revamping one of your summer dresses with a blazer, stockings and some booties? Or how about a pair of shorts with wool tights paired with a cardigan? Not every article of summer clothing -- such as tropical colors -- gets a pass, but you'd be surprised by how versatile a summer wardrobe can be. Black Voices has taken the liberty to give you few style guidelines for recycling your wardrobe.
