At the End of Your Robe: Pegging Your Personal Style
Stylist Julie Greene offers expert advice on looking fierce in a financial crisis.

We all have them: Outdated, worn out, tired looking clothes that need a little—or a lot of—TLC. In more prosperous times, we can just toss and replace them. These days, it makes sense to get the most out of what you’ve already got. With a little creativity and a few dollars, you can make awkward items live up to their potential.

Sitting around in your bathrobe waiting for the recession to end so you can start wearing your pinstripes or your Manolos again is not going to help matters. Throwing them away, however, just might.
