Clothes swaps are a great way to get a new look going! What you may see as outdated in your wardrobe, may be what someone else needs in theirs.

 

  1. Repair or upcycle

Repairing your clothing is a pretty wholesome feeling and also will prolong there use. Or if you feel up to it, you can use the fabric from your old clothes to create something totally different!
